Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide the students with the proper hand washing knowledge after examining their attitude and performance of health science college students. Data were collected from 425 students at the college in G metropolitan city by using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed into descriptive statistics, ANOVA and pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS/WIN18.0. The average frequency and the average time of hand washing were 8.7 times a day and 18.5 sec respectively. The average frequency of hand washing education was 2.4 times. Soap bar was most frequently used as a hands detergent and paper towel as a dry method.. The Frequency and the time(sec) of hand washing increased significantly in the following provisions: above 6 times hand washing education, practical education, decontaminating agent soap, and use of paper towel. Knowledge, attitude and performance on hand washing increased significantly in the following variable : women, practice at upper grade general hospital, above 11 times hand washing a day, above 16secs hand washing, above 6 times hand washing education, practical education, decontaminating agent soap, and use of paper towel. Finally, there was significantly difference among the knowledge, attitude, and performance of hand washing. The result of this study indicates a necessity for developing education programs consistently to improve knowledge, attitude, and performance of hand washing.

본 연구는 보건계 대학생의 손씻기 관련 특성과 손씻기 지식과 태도 및 수행도를 파악하여 올바른 손씻기를 수행하기 위한 방안을 제공하고자 실시하였다. 대상은 G광역시 일개대학의 보건계 대학생 425명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집을 하였고 SPSS/WIN 18.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient로 분석하였다. 1일 평균 손씻기 횟수는 8.7회, 시간(초)는 평균 18.5초였다. 손씻기 교육 수는 평균 2.4회였다. 손씻기에 가장 많이 사용하는 세제는 일반 세수비누, 손 건조도구는 종이타올이었다. 손씻기 관련 특성에서 손씻기 횟수와 시간은 손씻기 교육수가 6회 이상, 실습을 통한 교육 실시, 소독비누로 손씻기, 종이타올로 손 닦기 등에서 모두 유의한 차이로 높았다. 손씻기 지식, 태도, 수행도 점수는 여자(성별), 상급종합병원, 1일 11회 이상의 손씻기 횟수, 1회 손씻는 시간 16초 이상, 6회 이상의 교육 수, 실습을 통한 교육에서 가장 점수가 높았다. 손씻기 지식, 태도, 수행도간의 상관관계는 모두 유의했다. 이 연구 결과는 효과적인 손씻기를 위해 손씻기 지식, 태도 및 수행도를 높이기 위한 손씻기 교육프로그램을 계속적으로 개발할 필요성을 나타내고 있다.
