Abstract

This descriptive research aimed to get the effects of handwashing awareness and practices among 294 students in J middle school, using revised tool developed by Korean CDC(2005). As a result of analyzing data using SPSS/Win 23.0, 42.9% of the subjects experienced common cold within the last 6 months, the scores of handwashing awareness was 3.47 out of 4, and the scores of handwashing practices at home and school was 3.36 and 3.35 each. 39.1% wash hands for 4~6times a day, average handwashing time was 11~15 seconds and 47.0% of the subjects who did not wash their hands due to not having a habit of handwashing. The explanation rate of handwashing awareness on practice was 23.2%, handwashing awareness had a significant effect on practices(p=.001). This study suggests the necessity of strengthening handwashing practices by educating handwashing awareness in order to prevent infectious diseases.

본 연구는 중학생의 손씻기 인식이 실천에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, J 중학교 학생 294명을 대상으로 한 서술적 조사연구로, 질병관리본부(2005)의 도구를 수정하여 사용하였다. 수집된 자료의 SPSS Win 23.0 분석결과, 최근 6개월간 질병경험으로 감기가 42.9%으로 가장 많았고, 손씻기 인식의 평균은 4점 만점에 3.47점, 가정과 학교에서의 손씻기 실천 평균은 각각 3.36, 3.35점이었다. 일일 손씻기 횟수는 4~6회가 39.1%, 손씻기 평균시간은 11~15초 및 47.0%가 '습관이 되지 않아' 손을 씻지 않는다고 응답하였다. 손씻기 인식의 실천에 대한 설명력은 23.2%로, 손씻기 인식이 실천에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p=.001). 본 연구결과는 감염병예방을 위해 손씻기 인식에 대한 교육으로 손씻기 실천강화의 필요성을 시사한다.
