Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of contact lens wearing, management and awareness of eye health knowledge among female university students in Jeju area and to utilize the basic data for education and management of contact lens. Methods: Data for this study were collected from the 236 female university students in Jeju area who have a contact lens experience from May 1, 2016 to June 11, 2016. Results: We found the status of contact lens wearing and management of subjects and there were different correlations between discomfort and awareness of eye health knowledge among the subjects who have different characteristics. There were also correlations in discomfort, the average days of contact lens wear per week, initial wearing day and action when they have any discomfort in some contact lens wearers. Conclusions: We realized the status of contact lens wearing and management of female university students and it suggests appropriate contact care education and sustainable management system are need to be established for considering daily average wearing time, the type and material of contact lens wear and main discomfort and so on.

목적: 여대생들의 콘택트렌즈 착용 및 관리 실태와 눈건강 지식 인식도를 분석하여 콘택트렌즈 교육과 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 방법: 2016년 5월 1일부터 2016년 6월 11일까지 콘택트렌즈 착용 경험이 있는 제주지역 여대생 236명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 결과: 연구 대상자들의 콘택트렌즈 착용 및 관리 실태에 대해 알 수 있었으며, 연구 대상자들의 특성에 따라 콘택트렌즈 착용 불편감, 눈건강지식 인식도 간에 상관관계가 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 착용 콘택트렌즈의 종류에 따라 일부 렌즈에서 불편감, 일주일 평균 착용일수, 최초 착용시기, 불편감 발생시 조치방법에 따라 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 여대생들의 콘택트렌즈 착용 및 관리 실태를 파악할 수 있었으며, 콘택트렌즈 하루 착용시간, 착용 렌즈의 종류 및 재질, 주로 느끼는 불편감 등을 고려하여 적절한 관리법에 대한 교육 및 지속적인 관리 시스템을 구축하여야 한다.
