Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the factors influencing particulate matter behavior of particulate matter knowledge, particulate matter attitude among adolescents. A descriptive study design was used. Participants were 218 high school students in D city. The data were collected from May 13 to 24 2019. Collected data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. Results: The influential factor for particulate matter behavior was particulate matter attitude (β=0.52, p<.001). It was found that particulate matter education experience (β=0.08, p=.157), academic background of father (β=0.08, p=.288), academic background of mother (β=0.05, p=.463), particulate matter knowledge (β=-0.05, p=.415), residence with (β=-0.09, p=.126), school record (β=-0.02, p=.710) had no significant effect on teacher efficacy. In order to develop a program to increase the particulate matter behavior for youth, it is necessary to prepare a plan to improve the attitude of particulate matter.

본 연구는 청소년을 대상으로 미세먼지에 대한 지식, 태도 및 행위의 수준을 파악하고 미세먼지 행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 검증하여 미세먼지 대응에 효과적으로 대처하기 위한 전략 개발의 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행되었다. 서술적 조사연구이며, 연구 대상은 D시 일개 고등학교 학생 218명이었으며, 연구 기간은 2019년 5월이며 2주간 실시되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression을 분석하였다. 미세먼지 태도(β=0.52, p<.001)가 미세먼지 행위에 유의한 영향을 나타내었으며, 설명력은 31%이었다(F=15.19, p<.001). 미세먼지 교육 경험(β=0.08, p=.157), 부의 학력(β=0.08, p=.288), 모의 학력(β=0.05, p=.463), 미세먼지 지식(β=-0.05, p=.415), 동거 가족(β=-0.09, p=.126), 학교 성적(β=-0.02, p=.710)은 미세먼지 행위에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 청소년을 위한 미세먼지 행위를 높이기 위한 프로그램 개발 시 미세먼지 태도를 증진시키기 위한 방안 마련이 필요하다.
