Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the need for nutritional education in male workers living in Busan, Korea. This study surveyed 310 industrial workers at five companies in Busan using a questionnaire. According to the results, need for nutritional education scored 3.60/5.00 points. The usage rate of mass media as a means of acquiring nutritional information was significantly higher (P<0.001) in subjects in their 50s compared to other age groups. Regarding scores on need for nutritional education according to theme, 'balanced eating habits' showed the highest score, followed by 'food safety', 'diet therapy related to a disease', and 'food hygiene and food poisoning prevention'. In terms of frequency of nutritional education, 29.0% of subjects considered 'biannually' to be desirable, whereas 25.8% and 21.0% considered 'annually' and 'quarterly' to be desirable, respectively. The results of this study suggest that nutritional education for industrial workers should be implemented in various ways in accordance with their characteristics. Furthermore, considering workers' low awareness levels of the need for nutritional education, employees are required to take the education in order to encouraged to improve their nutritional status and commit to a desirable diet.

본 연구는 부산지역 산업체 5곳에 근무하는 남성 근로자들 310명을 대상으로 영양교육의 필요성에 대한 요구도를 파악함으로써 직장인들의 영양개선 및 바람직한 식생활을 유도할 수 있는 산업체 영양교육을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 영양교육 경험이 있는 근로자는 11.9%이었고 영양정보를 얻는 경로는 58.1%가 대중매체이었다. 연령별 차이에서 50대 이상의 91.7%가 영양정보를 대중매체를 통해서, 20대와 30대는 각각 42.9%, 46.9%가 인터넷을 통해서 얻었으며 유의적 차이(P<0.001)를 보였다. 영양교육 필요성에 대한 평균 인식 점수는 3.65/5.00점이었고 연령별 차이에서는 30대는 3.60/5.00점, 40대는 3.53/5.00점이었으며, 학력에 따라 전문대졸이 3.67/5.00점으로 고졸, 대졸보다 높았으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 조사 대상 근로자들이 받기 원하는 영양교육 내용은 '균형 잡힌 식습관'(4.00/5.00점), '식품 안전성' 3.96/5.00점, '질환과 관련된 식사요법' 3.94/5.00점이었으나 '외식과 건강'은 3.30/5.00점, '건강보조식품'은 3.27/5.00점 이었다. '알코올과 건강'에 대한 영양교육의 필요성은 사무직이 생산직보다 필요성 점수가 유의적(P<0.01)으로 높았고, 전문대졸과 대졸 이상이 고졸보다 유의적(P<0.01)으로 높게 나타났다. 적당한 영양교육 횟수는 6개월에 한 번 29.0%, 일 년에 한 번 25.8%, 3개월에 한 번은 21.0%이었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 산업체 근로자를 대상으로 영양교육을 실시할 때에는 근로자들의 특성을 고려하여 다양한 방법의 영양교육이 실시되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 근로자들의 영양교육에 대한 필요성 인식이 그리 높지 않기 때문에 이들의 영양과 건강에 대한 인식의 전환과 함께 근로자들의 영양개선 및 바람직한 식생활 유도를 이끄는 영양교육이 근로자의 건강 유지를 위해 반드시 시행되어야 할 것이다.
