Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrition education focus on food habit, eating behaviors, dietary attitude, nutrition knowledge, and nutrients intake. The nutrition education was provided to 103 overweight and obese children in Chonbuk area. Nutrition education lessons were conducted 40 min/lesson, 12 times in year (6 times/semester). We assessed the change in knowledge using a questionnaire on food habit, eating behaviors, dietary attitude, nutrition knowledge and nutrients intake using 24 hr recall method. After the nutrition education, dietary habits were significantly improved. Especially, the answer of 'Don't eat when feel full' were significantly improved (boys (p<0.01), girls (p<0.05)). And the answer of 'Eat sugar meal frequently (chocolate, candy)' which is a dietary attitude question was significantly improved (girls (p<0.05)). There were positively changes in the dietary attitude and nutrition knowledge, but there were no significant differences after program. The results suggest that this nutrition education must be continue for positive food habit change in the long term.

본 연구는 전라북도 교육청의 추천을 받은 전주시 S 초등학교, 익산시 D 초등학교, 김제시 G 초등학교 2학년에서 6학년까지의 과체중 및 비만아동 103명(남아 69명, 여아 34명)을 대상으로 영양교육 총 12회(1학기 6회, 2학기 6회)를 실시한 후 식습관, 식행동, 식생활태도, 영양지식과 영양소섭취 상태를 평가함으로써 본 연구에서 실시한 영양교육 프로그램의 효과를 평가하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 식습관은 '식사시간에 먹는 양은 어떠한가'에 대한 질문에 대해 여학생의 경우 교육 전과 후에 유의적인 변화를 보였으며(p<0.05), '식사 시 배가 불렀을 때 어떻게 하는가'에 대한 질문에 대해 남학생(p<0.01)과 여학생 (p<0.05) 모두 교육 전후에 '배가 부르면 먹지 않는다고 답한 학생의 수가 가장 많았고, '간식을 섭취하는 이유'에 대해 여학생의 경우 배가 고파서라고 답한 학생의 수가 가장 많았다(p<0.05). 간식 섭취의 주된 이유는 남녀 모두 교육 전후에 '배가 고파서'로 답하였으며, 여아의 경우 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 식행동은 몇 개의 항목에 대해 남 여아 모두 바람직한 변화를 나타내었으나 유의적이지는 않았고, 식태도에서는 '초콜릿, 사탕등 단 음식을 자주 섭취한다'는 문항에서 여아의 경우 교육전 2.46점에서 교육 후 2.75점으로 점수가 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 영양지식은 교육 후 남 여아 모두 모든 항목에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, '영양가가 높은 음식이란 열량이 많은 음식을 말한다'라는 질문에서 여학생의 대답에서만 유의성이 있었다(p<0.001). 영양소섭취상태에 있어서 영양교육 후 1일 열량 섭취량은 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 남 여아 모두 평균 추정량에 비해 낮은 수준의 에너지를 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구 결과, 1년간의 영양교육(총 12회)이 과체중 및 비만아동의 영양지식과 식습관은 바람직한 방향으로 변화하는 경향은 보였으나 유의성이 낮았고, 식행동과 식태도 및 영양소섭취상태 변화는 효과가 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아동들의 식습관 및 생활습관은 단기간의 교육으로 변화되기 어렵다는 점을 고려하여 향후 장기간 지속적인 관리와 체계적인 연구가 계속되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
