Abstract

This study aimed to identify factors that had an influence on preventive behaviors of Emergency Medical Service students against tuberculosis to promote their preventive behavior. The subjects of the study were 314 students studying emergency medical service from one 4-year college and two 3-year colleges in Jeollabukdo and they were researched with the use of a questionnaire from June 25, to July 6, 2018. For a statistical analysis of the data obtained, this study used SPSS 18.0 and conducted a t-test, an ANOVA, a Pearson's correlation coefficient and a multi-regression test to analyze the data. Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis showed that the preventive behavior levels was significantly correlated with knowledge of tuberculosis (r = 0.268, p <0.001) and attitude (r = 0.394, p<0.001). As results of the multi-regression test, the higher the knowledge of tuberculosis(${\beta}=0.152$, p<0.001) and the higher the attitude(${\beta}=0.052$, p<0.001), the higher the preventive behavior levels. In addition, Students who have experienced tuberculosis in their own or relative's relatives have a high level of prevention behavior(${\beta}=-0.186$, p=0.001). Therefore, it is suggested that organized and consistent education programs to promote knowledge on tuberculosis, change negative perception on it and improve preventive behavior levels should be developed and provided.

본 연구는 응급구조학과 학생들의 결핵에 대한 예방행위에 미치는 요인을 파악하고 응급구조학과 학생들의 결핵에 대한 예방행위수준을 높이기 위하여 조사하였다. 전라북도의 4년제 대학 1개와 3년제 대학 2개의 응급구조학과 학생 314명을 대상으로 2018년 6월 25일부터 7월 6일까지 12일간 설문조사를 실시하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 사용하였으며, t-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation coefficient, 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 상관분석 결과 결핵에 대한 예방행위는 결핵에 대한 지식(r=0.268, p<0.001)과 태도(r=0.394, p<0.001)에 모두 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 다중회귀분석 결과 결핵에 대한 지식이 높을수록(${\beta}=0.152$, p<0.001), 태도가 높을수록(${\beta}=0.052$, p<0.001) 예방행위수준이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본인 또는 친인척이 결핵 발병을 경험한 학생들의 예방행위수준이 높았다(${\beta}=-0.186$, p=0.001). 따라서 응급구조학과 학생들에게 결핵에 대한 지식수준을 높이고 부정적인 인식과 태도를 변화시켜 예방행위 수준을 향상시킬 수 있는 체계적이고 지속적인 생활화된 교육이 필요하다.
