Results: Compared to the free meal service before, satisfaction of students was high (53.8%), and 69.9% of students said there was no change in the school meals, however a significant difference was observed between gender. Overall 80.2% of middle school students said that there was no change in menu, 70.6% were no change in the frequency of food with high preference, and 64.0% were no change in leftover of meals. 85.7% of dieticians/dietetic teachers said that there was no change in the student's satisfaction according to the conversion of free meal services; 59.5% of dieticians/dietetic teachers said that there was no change in the frequency of foods with high preference, the variety of vegetables was increased in the qualitative change item of food materials, and 95% of them were not aware of change in the amount of students' leftover foods. Dieticians/dietetic teachers had limitations in selecting menus with purchase and costs of food materials (26.2%) by conversion of the free meal service and their priority considered was the food cost (45.2%) when they selected menus. Change in feeding affairs was office work management (26.2%) and recipe research and development (19.0%).

본 연구는 무상급식 전환을 경험한 광주지역 중학생과 학교에서 근무하는 영양(교)사를 대상으로 하여 무상급식 전환에 따른 학교급식의 만족도와 인식을 조사하였으며 그 주요 내용은 다음과 같다. 학생들의 급식만족도는 무상급식으로 전환된 후에도 높은 편 (53.8%)이었는데 급식 만족도는 여학생이 남학생 보다 유의하게 높았다 (p < 0.001). 학생들의 불만족의 이유는 배식량의 감소 (35.2%)였으며, 만족의 이유는 경제적 이유 (50.0%)가 가장 높았다. 무상급식 전과 비교하여 전체 학생의 69.9%는 학교급식 만족도에서 변화가 없다고 하였는데, 성별 간의 유의적인 차이가 있었다. (p < 0.05). 전체 중학생의 80.2%는 식단의 변화가 없다고 하였고, 70.6%는 기호도가 높은 음식의 빈도가 변하지 않았다고 하였으며, 64.0%는 잔반의 양이 변하지 않았다고 하여, 유상급식에 비해 학교급식의 만족도에서 큰 차이를 느끼지 못하고 있었다. 무상급식 전환에 따른 학생들의 학교급식 만족도에 있어 영양(교)사의 85.7%는 학생들의 만족도가 차이가 없다고 인지하여 중학생보다 다소 높은 수준이었다. 또한 영양(교)사는 학생들의 불만족 이유에 대해 66.7%가 급식 양의 부족이라고 하였고, 만족의 이유로는 79.5%가 식재료의 질적 향상이라고 답하여, 학생들의 만족 이유와는 다소 다른 인식이었다. 무상급식으로의 전환에 따른 식단에 대해 영양(교)사의 40.5%는 변화가 있다고 하였는데, 식품비의 상승이 가장 큰 원인이었다. 영양(교)사들은 59.5%는 기호도가 높은 음식의 횟수에 대해 변화가 없다고 하였고, 식재료의 질적 변화에 있어 채소의 종류가 증가하였으며, 95.2%의 영양(교)사는 학생의 잔반량이 변하지 않았다고 인지하였다. 영양(교)사들은 무상급식 전환에 따른 급식 업무에 있어 식단을 작성 할 때 식재료의 구매 및 비용 (26.2%)에 의해 제약을 받으며, 식단 선택 시 급식비 (45.2%)를 우선 고려하였다. 무상급식 전환에 따라 달라진 업무의 내용은 사무관리 (26.2%), 조리법 연구 및 개발 (19.0%)이었다. 본 연구의 결과, 학생과 영양(교)사가 인식하는 학교급식의 만족도는 무상급식 전에 비해 크게 변하지 않았다. 또한 학생과 영양(교)사 모두 식단과 선호도가 높은 음식 및 잔반에 있어 큰 변화를 인지하지 못하였다. 다만 영양(교)사는 무상급식에 따라 사무관리 업무량이 변화하였다고 하였고 급식비에 의해 식단선택이 제한되며, 질적 변화를 가져온다고 한 바, 위의 결과를 토대로 급식환경을 포함한 다양한 요인들이 중학생들의 학교급식 만족도에 미치는 영향을 밝힐 추후 연구가 필요할 것이다.
