Abstract

This study aims to identify the awareness of radiation irradiation foods for radiologists, to help them understand the radiation irradiation foods properly, and to provide basic data on educational programs. The survey was conducted from February 1 to 28, 2018, with a survey of university students majoring in radiology at universities in Daegu and Gyeongbuk provinces. 73.7% of the respondents said that they did not have educational experience in radiological survey foods and related educational experiences. 49.8% of radiologists and 31.6% of school education were the most effective methods of radiation survey foods. As for the intention to participate in education on radiation irradiated foods, 54.5% of the respondents said that they are "normal" and that the participation rate of the students can be increased when providing education on radiation irradiated foods. As for when it is appropriate to conduct education on radiation-invested foods, 27.7% from 'Elementary School' and 23.0% from 'Middle School' are shown. Considering the above results, it is deemed necessary to develop specific promotional activities and educational programs for the overall recognition and clear understanding of irradiated food products of college students who are sensitive to diet.

연구는 방사선과 대학생을 대상으로 방사선조사식품에 대한 인식여부를 확인하고, 방사선조사식품에 대한 올바른 이해에 도움을 주고, 교육프로그램의 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사대상은 대구, 경북지역에 소재한 대학교에 재학 중인 방사선과를 전공하는 대학생을 조사대상으로 2018년 2월 1일부터 28일까지 설문조사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 방사선조사식품과 관련 교육경험에 대해서는 '없다'가 73.7%로 나타나 대부분 교육경험이 없는 것으로 나타났고, 방사선조사식품에 대해 가장 효과적인 교육방법에 대해서는 '방사선전문가 교육' 49.8%, '학교교육' 31.6% 순으로 나타나 방사선조사식품에 대해 가장 효과적인 교육방법에 대해서는 방사선전문가 교육 및 학교교육이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다. 방사선조사식품에 대한 교육 참여의향에 대해서는 '보통이다' 전체 54.5%로 나타나 방사선조사식품에 대한 교육 제공시 교육생의 참여율을 높일 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다. 방사선조사식품에 대한 교육은 언제부터 실시하는 것이 적절한지에 대해서는 '초등학교' 때부터 27.7%, '중학교' 때부터 23.0% 순으로 나타나 방사선조사식품은 저학년부터 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 식생활에 민감한 대학생들의 방사선조사식품에 대한 전반적인 인식 및 명확한 이해를 위한 구체적인 홍보활동과 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
