Abstract

This study was conducted to confirm the relationship between smart device usage time, eye health status, and eye management consciousness during the COVID-19 Pandemic period for college students in the health field. The study participants were 188 health-related university students, and data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients using the SPSS 26.0 program. As a result of the study, the average of the subjects' eye fatigue score was 15.23±13.71, the dry eye subjective symptom score was 21.87±12.02, and the eye health management consciousness score was 3.48±1.09. Eye care awareness, dry eye symptoms (r=.152, p=.005) and eye fatigue, dry eye symptoms (r=.650, p<.001) were statistically significant positive correlation in the group using smartphones for 2 hours or more per day on average. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to find a way to prevent eye health due to the use of smart devices by college students, and repeated studies are needed to confirm the factors affecting eye health.

본 연구는 보건 계열 대학생을 대상으로 COVID-19 판데믹 시기 스마트기기 사용시간, 눈 건강 실태, 눈 건강 의식 간의 관계를 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 참여자는 보견계열 대학생 188명을 대상으로 하였고, 자료 분석은 SPSS 26.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술적 통계, indepent t-test, Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients를 이용하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 눈 피로도 점수의 평균은 15.23±13.71점이었으며, 건성안 자각증상 점수는 21.87±12.02점이었고, 눈 건강관리 의식 점수는 3.48±1.09점으로 나타났다. 스마트폰을 일평균 2시간 이상 사용하는 집단에서 눈 관리의식과 건성안 증상(r=.152, p=.005)과 안구피로도와 건상안 증상(r=.650, p<.001)은 통계적으로 유의한 정적상관관계를 나타냈다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 대학생의 스마트기기 사용으로 인한 눈 건강 예방을 위한 방안 모색이 필요하며 눈 건강에 미치는 영향요인을 확인하기 위한 반복 연구가 필요하다.
