Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between risk perception, knowledge, risk attitude, and health promoting behaviors of nursing college students. The data were collected from 168 university students of four-year nursing college in the city of D, C. The collected data were analyzed by independent t-test, one way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient using SPSS WIN 20.0 program. As a result this study knowledge of fine dust was statistically significant in respiratory disease(t=1.92, p<.001). The risk attitude toward fine dust was statistically significant in respiratory diseases(t=2.05 p=.042), subjective health status(F=3.79, p = .012). There was a significant positive correlation between risk perception of fine dust and knowledge(r=.340, p<.001), risk attitude(r=.492, p<.001), and health promoting behaviors(r=.354, p<.001). Knowledge of fine dust and risk attitude(r=.401, p<.001), health promoting behavior(r=.296, p<.001), risk attitude toward fine dust and health care behaviors(r=.550, p<.001) also showed a statistically significant positive correlation. Based on these results, it will be necessary to develop a program to improve awareness and knowledge of fine dusts in nursing college students and to improve health promoting behaviors.
