Abstract

This study was performed to examine relationships between the levels of health promoting lifestyle, health beliefs about emerging infectious disease and hygiene behavior of college students. A descriptive research design was used, and 252 subjects were recruited from an university in Seoul. Data were collected from August to November, 2018. As result, health promoting lifestyle differed significantly depending on gender and perceived health status. Hygiene behavior were significantly influenced by major, health promoting lifestyle, and health beliefs about emerging infectious disease. In providing health-related education to college students, it is necessary to include content that can establish health beliefs about emerging infectious disease, and to develop a program that comprehensively deals with hygiene activities that can prevent these diseases.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 건강증진 생활양식, 신종전염병에 대한 건강신념 및 위생행위 간의 관계를 확인하고자 수행하였다. 서울에 소재한 일개 대학에서 252명 대학생이 건강증진 생활양식, 신종전염병에 대한 건강신념 및 위생행위에 관한 질문을 포함하는 온라인 설문조사에 참여하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 대학생의 성별과 지각된 건강상태에 따라 건강증진 생활양식에 유의한 차이를 보였고, 신종전염병 예방교육이 필요하다고 응답한 대학생과 그렇지 않은 대학생에서 위생행위에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 대학생의 위생행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 전공, 건강증진 생활양식 및 신종전염병에 대한 건강신념으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 대학생을 대상으로 하는 건강관련 교육을 적용함에 있어서 신종전염병에 관한 건강신념을 확립할 수 있는 교육내용을 포함할 필요가 있으며, 신종전염병을 예방할 수 있는 위생행위를 포괄적으로 다루는 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.
