Abstract

The purposes of this study were to investigate self-assertiveness, self-esteem, depression and abnormal eating attitudes among female university students with weight control experience and to identify the factors that influence abnormal eating attitudes. Data were collected through self reported structured questionnaire form 170 Korean female university students by convenient sampling methods form May 1 to June 30, 2013. A multiple linear regression showed that depression(${\beta}$=0.20, p=.029) was identified as significant predictors of self control of eating and bulimic symptom. Self-esteem(${\beta}$=-0.22 p=.019) and depression(${\beta}$=0.18, p=.043) were identified as significant predictors of food preoccupation. Self-esteem(${\beta}$=-0.35, p<.001) was identified as significant predictors of preoccupation with being thinner. Self-assertiveness(${\beta}$=0.22, p=.008) and depression(${\beta}$=0.20, p=.034) were identified as significant predictors of preoccupation for dieting. Therefore, for implement the healthy weight control and reducing abnormal eating attitudes, as a strategy for improving self-esteem and self-expressiveness and controlling depression, psychological and mental nursing intervention will be needed.

본 연구의 목적은 체중조절 경험이 있는 여대생의 자기표현성, 자아존중감, 우울과 이상섭식태도의 정도 및 이들 변수간의 관련성을 파악하기 위함이다. 충청도, 전라도 소재의 4년제 대학 3곳에 재학 중인 여대생 중 체중 조절경험이 있는 170명을 대상으로, 2013년 5월 1일부터 6월 30일까지 자가 보고식 설문조사로 시행되었다. 연구결과, 대상자의 이상섭식태도에 영향을 주는 요인으로, 우울(${\beta}$=0.20, p=.029)이 식사에 대한 자기 통제와 대식증적 증상에, 자아존중감(${\beta}$=-0.22 p=.019)과 우울(${\beta}$=0.18, p=.043)이 음식에 대한 집착에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대상자의 자아존중감(${\beta}$=-0.35, p<.001)이 날씬함에 대한 집착정도에, 자기표현성(${\beta}$=0.22, p=.008)과 우울(${\beta}$=0.20, p=.034)이 다이어트에 대한 집착정도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 여대생의 건강한 체중 조절 및 이상섭식태도를 줄이기 위해, 자기표현성과 자아존중감 향상 및 우울조절과 같은 심리적, 정신적 요인의 치료적 간호가 필요하다.
