Abstract

This descriptive investigative study was conducted to evaluate middle school students in the city to understand their experience with tobacco use and the factors that affect the intention for tobacco use in the future, as well as to investigate the relevance between student attitudes towards tobacco use and their understanding of the toxicity of its use. A total of 1,044 middle school students located in C city were surveyed from October 13 to November 27, 2015. The results showed significant differences in age, grade, amount of allowance, absence/presence of friends of the opposite sex, and first experience with tobacco use. Moreover, intentions of tobacco use in the future showed significant differences in age, religion, allowance, rate of satisfaction of the school environment, absence/presence of friends of the opposite sex, and academic grade (p<0.05). Based on the above results, it is necessary to implement a consistent anti-smoking education in the home and school starting in elementary school to reduce the rate of tobacco use in middle school students.

본 연구는 일개 시 중학생들을 대상으로 흡연경험과 미래 흡연의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고 흡연태도와 흡연 유해성 지식과의 관련성을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 2015년 10월 13일부터 11월 27까지 C시의 중학생 1,044명에게 자기 기입식 설문조사를 시행하였고 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 18.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 흡연경험은 성별, 학년, 용돈, 이성친구 유무, 성적, 첫 흡연시기에서 유의한 차이가 있었고 미래의 흡연 의도는 성별, 종교, 용돈, 학교생활 만족도, 이성친구 유무, 성적에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 흡연태도와 흡연 유해성 지식의 점수는 각각 평균 $3.30{\pm}0.43$점, $0.68{\pm}0.27$점 이었고 여학생, 학교생활 만족도와 성적이 높은 학생, 흡연경험이 없으며 '향후 흡연하지 않겠다'고 응답한 학생들은 두 가지 변수 모두 점수가 높았다. 흡연 유해성 지식이 높을수록 흡연태도 점수도 높아서 대상자의 미래흡연 가능성은 흡연 유해성 지식이 높을 때 감소하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 중학생들의 미래 흡연율을 낮추기 위해서는 학생들의 흡연 특성에 맞추어 초등학교 때부터 가정과 학교가 연계된 금연 교육을 지속적으로 실시해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
