Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a prevention education program by grasping the knowledge of hepatitis A, Immunization and prevention behavior of university students. The subject of the study was questionnaire for 219 students, excluding the 3rd and 4th graders of the Department of Nursing. Collected data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation using SPSS 18.0. As a result of the study, knowledge of hepatitis A was determined by gender, major, allowance for a month, HAV education experience within 3 months, personal antibody retention, HAV hepatitis, and cases of HAV infection among family members, hepatitis A prevention behavior showed a significant difference in the type of residence. In order to increase the hepatitis A vaccination rate of university students through this study, the need for vaccination and promotion of adult vaccination is necessary, and the development of a program that enables habitual preventive behaviors is needed.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 A형간염 지식, 예방접종 실태, 예방행위를 파악하고 지식과 행위와 관련이 있는지 파악하여 예방 교육 프로그램을 개발하고자 시도되었다. 연구 대상은 U대학 1-4학년에 재학중인 학생이며, 임상 실습 전 필수로 예방접종을 실시하는 간호학과 3, 4학년 학생을 제외한 219명을 편의 표집하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 18.0 WIN을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 A형 간염 지식은 성별, 전공, 한 달 용돈, 3개월 이내 HAV 교육경험, 본인의 항체 보유, HAV 감염 여부, 가족 중 HAV 감염력이 있는 경우와 A형간염 예방행위는 거주형태에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 그리고 A형간염 지식과 예방행위는 유의한 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 대학생의 A형간염 접종률을 높이기 위해서는 예방접종의 필요성과 성인기 예방접종에 대한 홍보가 필요하며, 습관화된 예방행위가 이루어질 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
