체육전공 대학생들의 건강에 대한 지식, 태도 및 행위간의 관련성 비교 = A Study on the Correlation between Junior College Physical Education Majors' Levels of Health Information and Attitudes/Behaviors to Good Health

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present writer carried out of a survey on physical education majors of some junior colleges to grasp their levels of health information and attitudes/behaviors to good health, and to compare and analyze the correlations between them with a view to developing health-improving programs for junior colleges, thereby affording a basic material for health guidance. The survey was conducted with questionnaires addressed to 567 male students and 263 female students of four junior colleges in Seoul and Kyeonggi province. As s result of statistical examination of the survey, the present writer has reached the following conclusions.
1. The level of health informaion obtained 14.98±4.54 points out of a possible 22, indicating 68.1% of correct information. There was no significant statistical difference between the information levels of male and female students.
2. The level of their attitude to health obtained 14.97±3.66 points out of a possible 22, indicating 68.0% of correct attitude. There was no big statistical difference between the attitude levels of male and female students.
3. The level of their behavioral action to good health obtained 10.56±3.52 points out of a possible 22, indicating on an average 48.0% of correct behavior. Regarding smoking, drinking,coffee intake, sexually transmitted disease, sexual relations, physical checkup, etc., female students indicaed by far the more desirable results than male students statistically.
4. In the comparison and analysis of correlations between the survey subjects' health information and attitudes/behaviors to good health, significant statistical difference were observed in the correlations between the subjects' health information attitudes(r=0.498, p＜.01).
5. Comparing and analyzing the correlations between the survey subjects' health information and attitudes/behaviors to good health, the present writer has found more significant statistical correlations between their health information and attitudes(M:r=0.502,p＜.01; F:r=0.497, p＜0.1), attitudes and behavioral action(M:r=0.218, p＜0.1; F:r=0.478,p＜0.1),health information and behavioral action(M:r=0.203, p＜0.1; F:r=0.349, p＜0.1) of male students than of female students. In other words, compared with female students, male students failed to live up to their health information more frequently than female students.
As This study was limited to the physical education majors of some junior colleges, a retional generalization cannot be deduced from the outcome of the survey. A survey is required, therefore, based on a larger scale. Again, since the basic health items were limited to eleven kinds, this study necessarily does not include all gealth problems; more comprehensive surveys are yet to be carried out. As a result of this survey, however, it was ascertained that there is relatively little correlation between the subjects' health information and their attitudes, attitudes and behavioral action, informaion and behavoioral action. Hopefully, health behavior-focused health education based on adequate health informaion should be carried out, instead of health guidance overemphasizing health information alone.
