Abstract

This study was conducted to identify nutrition knowledge, eating behaviors, and the need for an integrated program to improve eating behaviors according to residential type of female college students. Data were collected from March 16 to April 16, 2021, using online self-report questionnaires and the final 217 data were used. To analyze data, frequencies and percentages, means and standard deviations, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA were conducted using SPSS WIN 26.0. The results showed that home residents had better eating behaviors than those living in rented rooms. Moreover, the demand for an integrated eating behavior improvement program for disease and health information topic was higher among home residents and participants in rented rooms than among those living in dormitories. When developing an integrated program for improving eating behaviors among female college students, it is essential to apply a differentiated intervention program that considers residential type.

본 연구는 여대생을 대상으로 거주 형태에 따른 영양 지식, 식이 행동 및 식이 행동 개선 통합프로그램에 대한 요구도를 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 자료는 2021년 3월 16일에서 4월 16일까지 온라인을 통해 자가보고식 설문지를 이용해 수집되었고, 최종 217명의 자료가 이용되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 26.0을 사용해 빈도와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, 독립표본 t-test와 ANOVA로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 자택 거주자가 자취하는 대상자보다 식이 행동을 더 잘하는 것으로 나타났고, 식이 행동 개선 통합프로그램에 대한 요구는 자택 거주자와 자취하는 대상자가 기숙사에 거주하는 대상자보다 '질병 및 건강 정보'에 대한 요구도가 더 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 그러므로 여대생에 대한 식이행동 개선 통합프로그램 개발 시 거주 형태를 고려한 차별화 된 중재프로그램의 적용이 필수적일 것이다.
