Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge, attitude and preventive behaviors of tuberculosis in male high school students and to identify the factors influencing preventive behaviors and to provide basic data for the development of prevention programs for tuberculosis of male high school students. Methods: This study was conducted from May 1, 2018 to May 30, 2018, and six high school students in S city and Y city of Jeonnam were selected. 465 male high school students in the first grade were selected. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, pearsons's correlation and Multiple regression analysis by SPSS/WIN 21.0 program Results: As a result, the knowledge score was 11.92, the attitude score was 28.32 and the prevention behavior score was 30.07. All of these correlations were statistically correlated. In addition, factors influencing preventive actions against tuberculosis were attitude toward tuberculosis, exercise, health status, and sleep time Conclusion: Based on the above results, it is thought that to improve the preventive behavior of tuberculosis in male high school students, it is necessary to develop a practice-oriented program for forming healthy lifestyle as well as to change the attitude toward tuberculosis positively.

본 연구는 남자 고등학생의 결핵에 대한 지식, 태도, 예방행위를 파악하고, 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 남자 고등학생의 결핵에 대한 예방행위 향상을 위한 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 시도되었다. 본 연구 결과 남자 고등학생의 결핵에 대한 지식은 30점 만점에 11.92점, 태도는 60점 만점에 28.32점, 예방행위는 60점 만점에 30.07점으로 점수가 낮았으며 이들의 관계는 모두 정적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 또한 결핵에 대한 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 운동을 매일 하는 경우, 수면시간이 충분한 경우, 주관적 건강상태가 건강한 상태 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과를 토대로 남자 고등학생의 결핵에 대한 예방행위를 향상시키기 위해서는 결핵에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 변화시키는 것뿐만 아니라 건강한 생활습관 형성을 위한 실습 위주의 프로그램 개발이 우선적으로 필요하다고 사료된다. 본 연구의 제한점은 S시와 Y시 고등학교에 다니고 있는 1학년 남학생을 대상으로 편의 표집 하여 연구의 결과를 일반화시키는데 신중을 기할 필요가 있다. 따라서 추후 지역 확대와 학년별, 학교 특성별, 성별 등으로 나누어 비교 연구를 하는 것을 제언하고 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 고등학생의 결핵에 대한 예방행위를 향상시킬 수 있는 교육 요구도 조사를 바탕으로 프로그램을 개발하여 그 효과를 검증하는 것을 제언한다.
