초록

본 연구는 2019년 제15차 청소년건강행태조사자료를 이용하여 청소년에서 학교에서의 손씻기 미실천율과 관련요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 학교에서의 손씻기 실천은 성별, 도시 규모, 학년, 학교 유형, 학업 성적, 경제적 상태, 집에서의 손씻기 실천, 연간 개인위생교육 경험과 유의미한 관련성을 보였다. 청소년의 학교 내 손씻기 실천율을 높이기 위해서는 손씻기 실천 관련요인들을 고려한 지속적인 개인위생교육과 함께 손씻기를 용이하게 하는 적절한 환경과 문화 조성이 필요하다.

Objectives: Handwashing is one of the most effective methods to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. This study assessed the related factors and reasons for not practicing handwashing at school among adolescents. Methods: We analyzed data collected from 57,303 adolescents who participated in the 15th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey 2019. Results: The proportions of not washing hands "before meals at school" and "after using the toilet at school" were 15.9% and 4.4%, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for not washing hands before meals at school was significantly higher in girls (Odds Ratio [OR]=1.52, 95% Confidence Intervals [CI]=1.42-1.63), metropolitan city (OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.11-1.56), city (OR=1.29, 95% CI=1.08-1.54), higher grade, higher academic performance, lower economic status, not handwashing at home (OR=14.36, 95% CI=13.37-15.42), and without annual personal hygiene education (OR=1.41, 95% CI=1.33-1.49). Reasons for not washing hands at school among adolescents who do not wash their hands before meals at school included 'it is bothersome (52.3%)', 'there is no soap or hand sanitizer (13.8%)', and 'I do not feel the need (9.5%)'. Conclusions: Improving handwashing before meals at school among adolescents requires raising awareness of the importance of handwashing before meals and establishing a suitable environment and handwashing-encouraging culture.
