Abstract

This study analyzed and verified the effects of a dietary education program for Korean young adults in single-person households. The dietary education program was conducted for five weeks (from November 10 to December 8, 2020) for Korean young adults in single-person households living in Seongbuk-gu, via four face-to-face education sessions and one online education session, including both theoretical lectures and practice. The effect of the dietary education program was analyzed through the Nutrition Quotient (NQ) questionnaire for adults provided by the Korean Nutrition Society, a dietary evaluation checklist questionnaire developed by the researchers, and photovoices. The average of 'Nutrition' score increased from 51.81 to 53.20, but there was no statistically significant difference. However, there was a significant change in the 'Moderation' category (p<0.05). As for the researcher-developed dietary evaluation, the average of the 'Importance' area rose from 3.77 to 3.99, but there was no statistically significant difference. The average of the 'Practice' area rose from 3.03 to 3.57, significant results were found (p<0.05). When the pre-/post-tests were compared by the sub-categories, four elements of 'Importance', i.e., balanced meals and avoided foods, and all five elements of 'Practice' were significantly improved (p<0.05). A total of 200 photovoices were analyzed according to Social Cognitive Theory. As a result of the analysis, the deterrents that help people eat healthy homemade food were 48% environmental factors, 30% behavioral factors, and 22% individual cognitive factors. The deterrents found to hinder participants from eating healthy homemade food were 72% environmental factors and 14% individual cognitive and behavioral factors. The results suggest that the dietary education program for Korean young adults in single-person households can be an effective tool that promotes self-motivation, behavioral changes, and improvements of the surrounding environment.

본 연구는 청년 1인가구를 위한 식생활교육 프로그램을 실시한 후, 교육 효과를 분석 및 평가하였다. 식생활교육 프로그램은 성북구에 거주하는 청년 1인 가구를 대상으로 이론 강의와 실습을 포함한 4회의 대면수업과 1회의 온라인수업을 통해 5주 동안(2020년 11월 10일부터 12월 8일까지) 진행되었다. 식생활교육 프로그램 효과는 한국영양학회가 제공하는 성인 영양지수(NQ) 설문지, 자체 개발된 식생활 평가점검표 설문지 및 포토보이스를 통해 분석하였다. 성인 영양지수(NQ) 분석 결과, 영양 점수의 평균은 51.81점에서 53.20점으로 상승하였으나 통계적으로 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 4개의 하위영역 중 '절제' 영역에서는 유의미한 변화가 나타났다(p<0.05). 자체 개발된 식생활 평가점검표 분석 결과, '중요도' 영역 평균은 3.77점에서 3.99점으로 상승하였으나, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이는 없었다. '실천도' 영역 평균은 3.03점, 3.57점으로 상승하였으며, 통계적으로 유의미한 결과가 나타났다(p<0.05). 중요도의 설문 범주별 사전·사후 평균 비교분석 결과, 4개 영역에서, 실천도의 설문범주별 사전·사후 평균 비교분석 결과에서는 5개 모든 항목에서 유의미한 결과가 나타났다(p<0.05). 총 200장의 포토보이스를 사회인지이론에 근거하여 분석한 결과, 사람들이 건강한 집에서 만든 음식을 먹는 데 도움이 되는 결정요인은 환경적 요인 48%, 행동적 요인 30%, 개인의 인지적 요인 22%로 나타났다. 반면, 참가자들이 집에서 만든 건강한 음식을 먹는 것을 방해하는 결정요인은 환경적 요인 72%, 개인의 인지적 요인 14%, 행동적 요인이 14%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 대한 종합적인 분석은 청년 1인 가구를 위한 식생활교육 프로그램이 동기 부여를 촉진하고, 행동 변화를 촉진하고, 주변 환경을 개선하는 효과적인 도구가 될 수 있음을 시사한다.
