Abstract

This study investigated predictors of the behavior related to particulate matter in nursing students. The participants in this descriptive study were 186 nursing students at K university in G city from May 1 to 14 in 2018. Collected data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The level of knowledge(10.6/15), attitude(59.94/75) and behavior(42.56/60) were relatively high. The significant predictors of the behavior were attitude(β=.591, p<.001), smoking(β=-.134, p=.049) and respiratory disease(β=.133, p=.025), and explained 40.1% of it. Educational programs to enhance nursing students' health promoting behaviors against particulate matter must be focused on attitude change.

본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 미세먼지 관련 지식, 태도 및 행위의 수준과 미세먼지 관련 행위의 영향요인을 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 G시에 소재하는 K대학 간호대학생 186명을 대상으로 2018년 5월 1일부터 14일까지 자료수집을 하였다. SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 수집된 자료를 t-test, 일원분산분석, Pearson 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 간호대학생의 미세먼지 관련 지식(10.6/15), 태도(59.94/75), 행위(42.56/60)는 모두 비교적 높았다. 미세먼지 행위의 유의한 예측인자는 태도(β=.591, p<.001), 흡연력(β=-.134, p=.049), 호흡기계 질환(β=.133, p=.025)이었고, 설명력은 40.1%이었다. 미세먼지 지식은 행위에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다(β=.067, p=.254). 간호대학생의 미세먼지 관련 건강 행위를 증진시키기 위해서 태도 변화에 초점을 둔 효과적인 미세먼지 교육 프로그램 개발이 요구된다.
