Abstract

This survey is to compare the handwashing recognition and practice of middle school students in Korea and Nepal, according to the report that handwashing practice rate of Korea was significantly lower than those of developed countries. The handwashing survey tools of Korean CDC were used. As a result of analyzing data using SPSS/Win 23.0, there were differences in residential state, disease experience, and parental education level of subjects, handwashing practice was significantly higher in Nepal while higher handwashing recognition of Korea(p<.001). Among contents of handwashing practice, there were significant differences in drying methods, number of it with soap, time required, number of receiving education for it, and education methods. It is necessary to take measures to increase handwashing practice rate of Korea, while Nepal's is increasing by supplementing equipment and education even their handwashing recognition was low. This results are from a few middle school students in both countries by convenience sampling, therefore it is needed repeated studies with wider range of subjects.

본 연구는 한국의 손씻기 실천률이 선진국에 비해 현저히 낮았다는 보고에 따라, 한국과 네팔 중학생들의 손씻기 인식과 실천을 비교하기 위해 시행된 조사연구로, 연구도구로는 한국 질병관리센터의 손씻기조사도구를 수정하여 사용하였다. SPSS 23.0으로 분석 결과, 양국 대상자 간 주거형태, 질병경험 및 부모교육수준에 차이가 있었고(p<.001), 손씻기인식은 한국대상자가 손씻기실천은 네팔이 유의하게 높았다(p<.001). 손씻기실천 관련내용 중 손씻기 후 말리는 방법, 비누로 손씻기 횟수, 손씻기 소요시간, 손씻기 교육경험횟수, 교육방법에 양국 간 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.001). 네팔의 손씻기인식은 한국보다 낮았으나 손씻기교육과 설비보완으로 손씻기실천률을 높이고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 한국의 손씻기실천률을 높이기 위한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구는 양국의 소수의 중학생을 편의추출해서 시행된 연구이므로, 대상자 수를 확대하여 반복 연구의 필요성을 제안한다.
