Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the factors influencing COVID-19 practice of COVID-19 knowledge, COVID-19 attitude, COVID-19 perceived risk among adolescents. A descriptive study design was used. Participants were 164 high school students in D and K city. The data were collected from October 26 to November 6 2020. Collected data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression using SPSS WIN 21.0 program. Results: The influential factor for COVID-19 practice was COVID-19 attitude (β=0.28, p<.001). It was found that satisfaction with peer relationship (β=-0.05, p=.493), economic status (β=-0.08, p=.270), subjective health status (β=-0.06, p=.438), COVID-19 knowledge (β=0.04, p=.571), COVID-19 perceived risk (β=0.05, p=.126) had no significant effect on COVID-19 practice. In order to develop a program to increase the COVID-19 practice for youth, it is necessary to prepare a plan to improve the attitude of COVID-19.

본 연구는 청소년을 대상으로 COVID-19 지식, 태도, 지각된 위험 및 예방행위의 수준을 파악하고 COVID-19 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 서술적 조사연구이며, 연구 대상은 D 시, K 시 2개 고등학교학생 164명을 대상으로 2020년 10월 26일부터 11월 6일까지 자료수집을 시행하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 21.0 프로그램을 사용하여 t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression을 분석하였다. COVID-19 태도(β=0.28, p<.001)가 COVID-19 예방행위에 유의한 영향을 나타내었으며, 설명력은 9%이었다(F=3.849, p<.001). 교우관계 만족도(β=-0.05, p=.493), 경제 상태(β=-0.08, p=.270), 주관적 건강 상태(β=-0.06, p=.438), COVID-19 지식(β=0.04, p=.571), COVID-19 지각된 위험(β=0.05, p=.126)은 COVID-19 예방행위에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 청소년을 위한 COVID-19 예방행위를 높이기 위한 프로그램 개발 시 COVID-19 태도를 증진하려는 방안 마련이 필요하다.
