Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate nursing students' attitude toward body weight control, food behaviors according to their recognition, satisfaction on body image and Body Mass Index(BMI). The subjects were 273 nursing students. A survey was conducted using a self administered questionnaire. The data were an analyzed by a SPSS program. The majority of the surveyed participants were normal range for body mass index(BMI). Most of nursing students preferred a thin body image and were not satisfied with their body image. Most also controlled their body weight for appearance by exercising and the other efforts to change the body weight. From the above results, it is considered that nursing students need to establish proper self-recognition and dietary behaviors for their body images and counseling for desirable body weight control methods.

연구는 간호학생 273명을 대상으로 체질량지수와 체형인식도, 체형만족여부에 따른 체중조절행위 및 식행동을 파악하여 바람직한 체중조절 프로그램 개발에 사용하고자 시도된 서술적 조사 연구이다. 자료수집 기간은 2012년 3월 5일부터-3월 12일 까지였다. 자료수집 방법은 조사대상자가 직접 기입하도록 하였고, 자료분석 방법은 SPSS 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석 및 Chi-square test로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면, 대상자의 체질량지수는 정상 또는 그 이하의 체중군이 88.3%였는데, 체형만족여부에서는 '불만족한다'가 77.7%였고 실제보다 자신을 살찐 편으로 생각하고 있으며, 자신의 신체에 불만족하고 있었다. 체중조절행위 유무에서는 '있다'가 84.2% 였는데, 자신의 체형이 적절하다고 인식하고 있는 대상자에서도 80%, 자신의 체형에 만족하는 대상자에서도 56%가 체중 조절행위를 시도한 경험이 있었다. 체중조절방법 선택에서는 '운동'이 48.7%로 가장 높았고, 그 다음이 '운동과 다른 방법 병용'이 31.9%였다. 하루 한 끼 이상 결식하는 비율 조사 결과에서는 저체중군의 아침 결식률이 83%로 아주 높게 나타났다. 이결과를 토대로 간호학생이 자신의 체형인식을 바르게 할 수 있도록 지도되어야 하고, 체중조절을 무리하게 시행하여 건강에 해를 입지 않도록 바람직한 운동 및 체중조절방법 등을 전문가에게 처방을 받아 시행 할 수 있도록 해야 한다.
