Abstract

An evaluation of the influence of nutritional health camp for in obese elementary students was assessed. Anthropometric measurement, 24-hour recall of dietary intake, MMTIC(Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children) and questionnaire response(nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitude, and self-satisfaction) was documented in 43 obese elementary students(29 boys and 14 girls). The mean age of the elementary students was 11.2 years. The mean height, body weight and obesity index was 144.7 cm, 55.4 kg and 41.0% in boys, and 136.1 cm, 45.2 kg, 40.0% in girls. The mean energy intake was 1,522.4 kcal in boys and 1,494.9 kcal in girls. The subjects taking less than estimated average requirement(EAR) for vitamin ${B_2}$, folate, vitamin C and calcium was over 70%. A considerable number of students(65.1%) showed U band(undetermined character). The students demonstrated a propensity towards increased average nutritional knowledge and self-satisfaction after attending the nutritional health camp. In addition, a significant increase in average nutritional attitude was observed(p<0.001). The results of this study suggest that nutritional health camp positively influenced the nutritional attitude of elementary students.

본 연구에서는 어린이 비만의 예방 및 치료방법의 일환으로 비만 어린이를 대상으로 영양 및 건강을 위한 기본 개념습득과 이를 응용할 수 있는 능력 향상을 위한 교육 프로그램을 구성하고 영양지식, 영양태도 및 자아만족도를 교육 전후 비교하여 건강영양캠프의 효과를 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 캠프 참가 대상자의 평균 연령은 11.5세이었으며, 평균 신장과 체중은 141.9 cm와 52.1 kg이었고, 신장과 체중으로 산출한 비만도는 40.7%이었다. 1일 에너지 섭취량은 남자 어린이 1,522.4 kcal, 여자 어린이 1,494.9 kcal로 남자 어린이가 여자 어린이보다 다소 높았으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 단백질, 지방, 당질 섭취량은 남자 어린이가 각각 59.5 g, 39.6 g, 232.1 g이었으며, 여자 어린이는 각각 57.8 g, 40.3 g, 227.5 g이었다. 전체 참가 어린이의 평균 무기질 섭취량은 칼슘 392.7 mg, 인 793.2 mg, 철 9.9 mg, 아연 7.2 mg이었으며, 비타민 섭취량은 비타민 A 530.7 ${\mu}$g, 비타민 B$_{1}$ 0.9 mg, 비타민 B$_{2}$ 0.9 mg, 비타민 C 49.1 mg, 엽산 169.3 ${\mu}$g이었다. 성격 검사를 실시한 전체 어린이 중에서 확실한 성격 유형이 나온 어린이는 15명이었다. 그 중 내향성(I)의 그룹은 4명이었고, 11명은 외향성(E)그룹으로 나타나 전체적으로 활달하면서도 적극적인 어린이들로 구성되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 아직 뚜렷하게 성격 유형을 결정하지 못한 나머지 28명의 어린이들은 하나 혹은 둘 이상의 U 밴드(undetermined: 결정되지 않은)를 가지고 있었다. 캠프 전 영양지식은 70.0점이었고 캠프 이후 76.5점으로 증가하였으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 영양태도는 캠프 전 28.3점에서 캠프 이후 31.2점으로 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.001), 자아만족도는 캠프 전 32.8점에서 캠프 이후 35.1점으로 증가하였으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 종합할 때 초등학교 비만 어린이의 경우 칼슘, 엽산, 비타민 C, 비타민 B$_{2}$의 영양소에서 평균 필요량보다 부족하게 섭취하고 있는 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 영양교육 전과 비교하여 볼 때 영양태도 점수가 교육 후 유의하게 증가하였고, 유의적이지는 않으나 영양지식과 자아만족도도 증가하였다. 또한 성격 유형 검사 결과 아직 뚜렷하게 성격 유형을 결정하지 못한 어린이들의 비율이 높게 나타나 이러한 성격 유형의 결정 여부 및 각 유형을 참조하여 식생활에서 올바른 식생활 관리 능력과 바람직한 영양태도 및 지식을 습득할 수 있도록 하는 영양교육의 필요성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.
