Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sexual knowledge or sexual attitudes and reproductive health promotion behaviors of undergraduate students, and to analyze the effects of sexual knowledge on reproductive health promotion behaviors. The research method was a descriptive research study. The subjects were 357 university students with 4 year university students. The research tools used structured questionnaires to measure sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, and reproductive health promoting behaviors. As a result of the research, first, sexual knowledge of students showed a significant positive correlation with reproductive health promotion behaviors, and there was no relationship between sexual behavior and reproductive health promotion behaviors. Second, sexual knowledge of students had a significant effect on reproductive health promoting behaviors and explained 12.0%. In conclusion, it is suggested that the systematic and practical education program should be developed and applied through university curriculum in order to improve the practice of reproductive health promotion behavior of undergraduate students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 성지식 및 성태도와 생식건강 증진 행위 간의 관계를 파악하고, 성지식가 생식건강 증진 행위에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이었다. 연구방법은 서술적 조사연구로서 연구대상은 4년제 대학생 357명이었으며, 연구도구는 성 지식, 성 태도 및 생식건강 증진 행위를 측정하는 구조화된 설문지를 이용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 대학생의 성지식은 생식건강 증진 행위와 유의한 정적 상관관계가 있었으며, 성태도와 생식건강 증진 행위 간에는 어떠한 관계도 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대학생의 성지식은 생식건강 증진 행위에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 12.0%를 설명하였다. 결론적으로 대학생의 건전한 생식건강 증진 행위의 실천을 높이기 위해 대학교육과정을 통한 체계적이고 실제적인 교육프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요하다는 것을 제안한다. 본 연구결과는 대학생의 생식건강 증진 행위의 중재 프로그램 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
