Abstract

This study is the descriptive survey to understand the knowledge, attitude, and education needs of the university students on the dementia and to examine their relationships. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with the SPSS 20.0 for Windows Program. The rate of corrective answers on dementia was shown as 79.6%, mean attitude with 3.74 points, and mean education needs with 4.02 points. Significant positive correlations were detected between the knowledge and the attitude (r=.23, p=.005), and between the attitude and education needs (r=.61, p<.001). Based on the results of this study, it is required to make an effort to enhance the correct knowledge of the university students on dementia and to establish their positive attitude. The objective education needs proven by this study are expected to be used as the fundamental data for the development of customized education program for the university students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 치매에 대한 지식, 태도, 교육요구도를 알아보고 이들의 관계를 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 146명의 대학생을 모집하였고 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Person's Correlation 등의 방법으로 분석하였다. 치매에 대한 지식정답률은 79.6%이었고, 태도는 평균 3.74점, 교육요구도는 평균 4.02점으로 나타났다. 지식과 태도 간(r=.23, p=.005), 태도와 교육요구도 간(r=.61, p<.001)에 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 교육요구도는 기본적 일상생활동작에 대한 요구가 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 대학생의 치매에 대한 정확한 지식을 향상시키고 긍정적인 태도확립을 위한 노력이 필요하다. 연구에서 밝혀진 구체적인 교육요구도는 향후 대학생을 위한 맞춤형 교육프로그램 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.
