초록
이 연구는 여대생의 흡연에 대한 흡연위험지각도를 파악하여 여대생의 금연교육의 기초자료로 활용하고자 경기도에 소재한 S대학 여학생 231명을 대상으로 2009년 5월 18일부터 25일까지 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구도구는 일반적 특성 18문항, 흡연위험지각도 8문항으로 구성하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째. 여대생들의 흡연위험지각도에 대한 결과는 5점 만점 중 전체 평균이 4.32점으로, 흡연위험지각도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째. 가정 경제수준별로는 경제수준이 낮은 여대생일수록 흡연위험지각도가 높았으며, 경제수준에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다(F=7.14, p<.01). 세째. 본인의 흡연 여부별로는 비흡연 여대생이 흡연 여대생보다 흡연위험지각도가 높았으며, 흡연 여부에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다(t=-2.43, p<.05). 네째. 흡연하는 친구 수별로는 흡연하는 친구가 1명 있는 여대생이 흡연위험지각도가 가장 높았고, 3명 이상 있는 여대생은 흡연위험지각도가 낮았으며, 흡연하는 친구 수에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다(F=3.14, p<.05). 다섯째. 학교생활 만족도에 따른 흡연위험지각도는 '불만족하다'는 여대생이 흡연위험지각도가 가장 높았고, 만족, 보통 수준으로 나타났으며, 통계적으로도 유의미한 차이를 보였다(F=4.81 p<.01). 따라서 이 연구를 바탕으로 여대생들에게 금연의 중요성과 금연교육에 적극 참여할 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다고 사료된다.
This study intends to figure out the variables affecting the degree of female undergraduates' perceived risk of smoking and utilize them as foundational data for educating them to quit smoking. Thereupon, it conducted a self-administered survey from May 18 till 25 of 2009 to 231 female undergraduates attending S University located in Gyeonggi-do. The study tool contains 19 items of general characteristics and 8 of the degree of perceived risk of smoking. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS program, and the following results were gained. 1. According to the result on the degree of female undergraduates' perceived risk of smoking, the degree was shown high as the average was 4.32 among the perfect score of 5; thus, the degree of perceived risk of smoking was high. 2. In terms of the household economic level, female undergraduates with the lower economic level indicated the higher degree of perceived risk of smoking. There existed significant difference by their economic level (F=7.14, p<.01). 3. In regard of whether the female undergraduate smokes or not, the non-smoker perceives the degree of risk of smoking more highly than the smoker does; there is significant difference by whether they smoke or not (t=-2.43, p<.05). 4. About the number of friends who smoke, female undergraduates with one smoking friend show the highest degree of perceived risk of smoking. Those haying three or more smoking friends indicate the low degree of perceived risk of smoking. There exists significant difference by the number of smoking friends they have (F=3.14, p<.05). 5. According to the degree of perceived risk of smoking by their school life satisfaction, the female undergraduates expressing 'dissatisfaction' show the highest degree of perceived risk of smoking while 'satisfaction' indicates the average level. This was statistically significant difference (F=4.81, p<.01). Therefore, it is thought that it will be necessary to develop programs based on this research which can allow female undergraduates to team the importance of quitting smoking and actively participate in the education for it.
