Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on the breast self-examination performance among nursing students. The data collection period was from April 12 to April 26, 2021. Data was gathered from 240 nursing students by using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients and a stepwise regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. As the result of this study, the factors influencing breast self-examination perfomance were found to be breast self-examination and dietary habits with the explanatory power of these variables being 14.2%(F=19.53, 𝜌<.001). Based on this study, further study may be needed to evaluate the dietary habits of nursing students so that they can practice proper eating behavior. In addition, to maximize the educational effect, there may need to be a development of programs aimed to prevent breast cancer among nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 유방자가검진 수행에 미치는 영향 요인을 통계적으로 분석한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집 기간은 2021년 4월 12일부터 4월 26일이었고, 간호대학생 240명을 편의 추출 후 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 25.0 프로그램을 통해 Pearson's correlation coeffcients, 단계적 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 유방자가검진 수행에 미치는 영향 요인은 유방자가검진 여부와 식행동이었고, 설명력은 14.2%이었다(F=19.53, 𝜌<.001). 간호대학생의 유방자가검진의 지속적인 수행을 도울 수 있는 교육과 프로그램이 요구되며, 간호대학생 스스로 올바른 식행동에 관심을 가지고 실천할 수 있도록 식생활을 평가하고, 유방암을 예방하기 위한 프로그램의 개발 및 효과에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
