본 연구는 고등학생의 식품위생인식, 식품위생태도와 개인위생관리의 요인 간 관계를 구조방정식 모형 으로 분석하였다. 실증분석을 위해, 2015년 7월 16일부터 10월 15일 까지 충남지역 16개 고등학교의 학년 당 30명씩의 학생들에게 설문지를 배부하여 미회수 및 불충분한 설문지를 제외하고 총 1,214부를 분석하였다. 각각의 측정변수들이 잠재변수(식품위생인식, 식품위생태도와 개인위생관리)를 얼마나 잘 반영하고 있는지 살펴본 결과, 유의수준 0.001 수준에서 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 이는 각각의 개별 측정변수들이 잠재변수를 잘 반영하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 또한 잠재 변수들 간의 상관계수는 유의수준 0.01에서 모두 정적 관계로 나타났다. 구조모형의 경로계수를 살펴본 결과, 식품위생인식은 식품위생태도(표준요인 부하랑=0.753)에, 식품위생태도는 개인위생관리(표준요인 부하랑=0.840)에 통계적으로 유의한 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 식품위생인식이 식품위생태도에 영향을 미치고, 이러한 식품위생태도가 개인위생관리에 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주는 결과이다. 본 연구는 식품위생인식이 바로 개인위생관리를 높이지는 않으나, 식품위생태도를 높이고, 식품위생태도는 개인위생관리를 높일 수 있음을 시사한다.

This research aimed to survey foodservice hygiene management practices performed by principals and teachers as well as examine foodservice employees' hygiene knowledge in kindergartens. Surveys were administered to principals, teachers, and foodservice employees at 392 kindergartens. The total average score of six categories was 4.28 out of 5.0. Average score of the production process management category was the lowest at 3.90 while safety management was the highest at 4.69. Other average scores were as follows: facilities and equipment 4.20, personal hygiene 4.14, food ingredient control 4.35, and environmental sanitation 4.39. Teachers' foodservice hygiene management practices scored 3.8 points out of 5 on average. Hygiene knowledge of foodservice employees was also tested. The mean score of foodservice hygiene knowledge was 76.29%. The lowest scoring category was personal hygiene, suggesting that foodservice employees require more knowledge on proper personal hygiene practices. Possession rates of dish sterilizer, ultraviolet sterilizer, and hand washing facilities in the kitchen were low. These equipment installation rates should be raised accordingly. To enhance control of foodservice hygiene, kindergarten management should pay more attention to education and training related to foodservice sanitation.
