Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the difference and relations on frequency of blood donation, self-esteem and moral behavior of college students majoring in public health-related subjects. 400 college students were surveyed using structured questionnaires for a period from March to June 2014. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Coefficient with the SPSS program. There were significantly differences in frequency of blood donation according to gender, grade, blood donation experience of family members and self-esteem. There was a significant positive correlation between frequency of blood donation and self-esteem. However, there was no significant correlation between frequency of blood donation and moral behavior. In conclusion, it has found out that the frequency of blood donation of college students majoring in public health-related subjects was related with gender, grade, blood donation experience of family members and self-esteem. Therefore, it is recommended to consider that encouragement of participation in blood donation to family members would be an effective way to increase frequency of blood donation and then It would be ideal to utilize in establishing policies and promotions towards revitalization of the blood donations.

본 연구는 보건관련학과 대학생 400명을 대상으로 대학생들의 일반적 특성 및 헌혈 관련 특성, 자아존중감, 도덕적 행동에 따른 헌혈횟수를 파악하고 이들의 관련성을 조사하여 헌혈의 특성을 파악하기 위한 연구이다. 보건관련학과 대학생 400명을 대상으로 2014년 3월부터 6월까지 설문조사하였으며, 자료분석은 기술적 통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson 상관계수를 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 성별, 학년, 가족의 헌혈경험과 자아존중감은 헌혈횟수와 유의한 차이가 있었다. 헌혈횟수와 자아존중감 간에는 정적상관관계를 보였으며, 헌혈횟수와 도덕적 행동간에는 관련성이 없었다. 보건관련학과 대학생들의 헌혈횟수는 성별, 학년, 가족의 헌혈경험 및 자아존중감과 관련성이 있었으며, 이러한 결과를 통해 헌혈의 빈도를 높이기 위해 가족의 참여를 격려하는 것에 초점을 맞추어 헌혈 활성화를 위한 정책마련 및 홍보에 활용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다.
