Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed 1) to investigate high school students' reliability on COVID-19 responses in schools and private academies and 2) to identify the differences in COVID-19 prevention practice. Methods: This cross-sectional survey collected data from 200 high school respondents, using an anonymous online questionnaire designed by the Yonsei Global Health Center, from July 2 to 17, 2020 in this study. Chi-square tests were conducted to analyze the differences in preventative practices and practice rates between schools and private academies. Binary logistics regression analysis was conducted to identify the factor affecting the reliability of COVID-19 response. Results: These high school students reliabilityed the schools' COVID-19 response more than the private academy. In addition, students who studied only at school did more COVID-19 prevention practices than students who studied both at school and academy. There was a significant difference in avoiding public transportation (p=.028), sitting in one row while having a meal (p=.011) in the practice rates depending on the schools' COVID-19 response. A significant difference in Covering the mouth when coughing and sneezing (p-.041) was also found in the practice rates depending on the private academies' COVID-19 response. Conclusion: The reason why schools were more reliable than private academies was that there are health teachers. Because schools are supervised by the ministry of education, the Ministry of education and local government need to work together to manage and monitor the COVID-19 response in the academies through cooperation between two organizations. In addition, it is necessary to arrange a temporary circulation health teacher who will provide the COVID-19 prevention education at the academies.

본 연구는 고등학생의 학교와 학원의 코로나19 대응방역에 대한 신뢰도와 이에 따른 코로나19 예방실천의 차이를 비교함에 목적이 있다. 연구 자료는 고등학생을 대상으로 2020년 7월 2일부터 7월 17일까지 온라인 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였으며, 수집된 232명의 고등학생 중 32명을 제외한 200명을 분석하였다. 카이제곱 검정과 이분형로지스틱회귀분석 등을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 고등학생은 학교의 코로나19 대응에 대하여 학원보다 더 신뢰하고 있었으며, 학교만 다니는 학생의 코로나19 예방 실천율이 학교와 학원을 다니는 학생보다 높았다. 특히, 오염된 물건 접촉 후의 손씻기(p=.038), 엘리베이터 이용 자제(p=.038)이 유의미하게 차이가 있었다. 학교의 코로나19 대응 신뢰정도에 따라서 대중교통기피(p=.028), 일렬착석 식사(p=.011)가 유의미한 차이가 있었으며, 학원의 대응 신뢰정도에 따라 재채기 시 입가림(p=.041)이 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 학교의 대응방역 신뢰도에 영향을 주는 코로나19 예방실천은 3개로 나타났으며, 재채기 시 입가림(p=.002), 대중교통 기피(p=.043), 일렬착석 식사(p=.025)이었다. 반면에 학원의 대응방역 신뢰도에 영향을 주는 코로나19 예방실천은 1개로 물건 접촉 후 손씻기(p=.039) 였다. 학교의 코로나19 대응방역 신뢰도가 학원보다 높은 이유는 보건교사이다. 보건교사는 교육부의 지침을 받아 코로나19 방역과 학생들에게 코로나19 예방실천 교육을 실시하고 있기 때문이다. 또한, 학원은 코로나19 방역에 대한 지침은 받지만, 이를 책임지고 이행하며 관리할 기관이 명확하지 않다. 따라서, 교육부와 지자체에서는 학원을 대상으로 코로나19 방역을 관리감독하고 코로나19 예방교육을 실시할 임시 순환 보건교사 배치 및 관리 체계를 강화할 필요가 있다.
