Abstract

This study was conducted on 4th and 5th grade elementary school students in Daegu, Korea for the purpose of promoting health and proper dietary habits. A children food safety education program was developed and its effects evaluated on 4th and 5th graders (3,932 students for 4th year, 4,438 students for 5th year) at 46 elementary schools, which were under the jurisdiction of the four educational bureaus of Daegu city. Education was conducted in accordance with an education design plan, of which there were two goals, including know the contents of 'special act on children's dietary life safety management' and 'practice proper hand-washing'. 'Special act on children's dietary life safety management' was explained, and the education curriculum included proper hand-washing for prevention of food poisoning, quality certification mark on children's favorite foods, harmful foods such as unsanitary and adulterated foods, and green food zone. Flash songs, PowerPoint, 'glitter burger' notice note, and banner were used as education media. It was found that the awareness level of items related to 'special act on children's dietary life safety management' increased significantly after education (p<0.001). 'Necessity of nutrition education and children's food safety' also increased significantly (p<0.05) after education. Lastly, children answered that they washed their hands more often after education (62.9%) than before (60.7%).

대구광역시 소재 4개의 교육청별 관할 46개 초등학교 4 5학년 학생 8,370명을 대상으로 어린이 식생활 안전관리 교육을 실시한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 4학년 3,932명, 5학년 4,438명으로 교육청별로는 A 교육청 3,268명, B 교육청 2,890명, C 교육청 1,672명, D 교육청 540명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 교육 장소는 방송실에서 교육한 학교가 31개교였고 교육 받은 학생 수는 6,925명(82.7%)으로 가장 많았으며, 교육 장소 간에 교육 받은 학생 수는 유의한 차이가 있었으며(p<0.001), 교육시간도 1교시 전에 교육 받은 학생수가 2,586명(30.9%)으로 가장 많았으며, 교육 시간에 따른 교육 받은 학생 수는 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 어린이들의 간식 섭취이유는 고열량 저영양 식품(p<0.01), 부정 불량식품(p<0.001), 어린이 정서저해식품(p<0.001) 모두 '맛있어서'가 가장 높았으며, 항목 간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 교육내용 인지도에 대한 교육 전후 비교는 어린이 식생활 안전관리 특별법과 관련된 6개의 항목으로 어린이 식생활 안전관리 특별법, 어린이 식품안전보호구역(Green Food Zone), 어린이 기호식품 품질인증표시, 고열량 저영양 식품, 부정 불량식품, 어린이 정서저해식품 등을 '알고 있느냐'의 질문으로 6개 항목 모두 교육 전에 비하여 교육 후 유의한 수준으로 인지도가 증가하였다(p<0.001). 고열량 저영양 식품, 부정 불량식품, 정서저해식품의 섭취이유에 대한 항목 중 '맛있어서'는 고열량 저영양 식품이 81.6%로 가장 높게 대답하였으며, '호기심에서'는 어린이 정서저해식품이 28.0%로 가장 높게 응답하였고, '가격이 저렴해서'는 부정 불량식품이 27.1%로 가장 많이 답하였다. '어린이 식생활 안전관리 교육의 필요성'은 교육 전 '있다' 92.4%, 교육 후 93.6%로 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 교육 전후 손씻기에 대한 비교는 '씻는다'가 교육 전 60.7%에서 교육 후 62.9%로 다소 증가하였으나 유의성은 없었다. 현재 초등학교에 영양교사가 근무하고 있기는 하나, 학교 사정에 따라 영양교육이 체계적으로 이루어지고 있지 않으며, 영양교육을 실시하는 일부 학교에서는 정규 시간이 아닌 재량활동시간, 수업 전시간 등을 활용하여 교육이 이루어지고 있는 실정이어서 이번 어린이 식생활 안전관리 교육이 비록 1회이지만 가능한 많은 어린이들에게 교육의 기회를 제공하고자 대구지역의 일부 학교가 아닌 4개 교육청 관할 학교 4, 5학년 남녀 학생을 고른 분포로 교육을 실시하였다. 이번 연구결과로 볼 때 1회 교육으로 인지도는 향상되었으나, 실천율 변화는 미흡하였으므로 향후 관련 연구에서는 반복적인 교육프로그램을 개발하여 어린이들이 바람직한 식생활을 실천할 수 있도록 해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
