Abstract

Children's food allergies are increasing every year, and the proportion of children who go to childcare centers is also on the rise due to the increase of women's social activities. In this study, the directors of home childcare centers in C city was supposed to investigate the current status of food allergy management and its knowledge, attitude, and practice, and to prepare basic data for safe feeding of children. The study found that there were not many opportunities for teachers and cooking staffs to learn about food allergies compared to the director of childcare center, and that the directors with experience of education are desirable in knowledge, attitude and practice of food allergy management. Therefore, the government should provide education on food allergies by using various contents and media tailored to each level of directors, teacher, and cooking staff, and provide continuous promotion and support to ensure proper management of food allergies in childcare centers.

어린이들의 식품 알레르기가 매년 증가하고 있고, 여성의 사회진출 증가로 어린이집에 재원하는 어린이의 비율 또한 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 C시에 등록된 가정어린이집 운영자인 원장을 대상으로 어린이집 급식의 식품 알레르기 관리현황과 이에 대한 지식, 태도, 실천을 조사하고 이를 융합적으로 해석하여 어린이들의 안전한 급식제공을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 연구결과 가정 어린이집 운영자에 비하여 교사와 조리원의 식품알레르기에 대한 교육의 기회가 많이 부족하였고, 알레르기 교육을 받은 운영자의 식품 알레르기 관리에 대한 지식과 태도, 실천이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 어린이집 운영자와 교사, 조리원을 위하여 수준별 맞춤식으로 식품 알레르기에 대한 교육을 계획하고, 다양한 콘텐츠와 매체를 활용하여 제공하여야 하며, 어린이집 급식의 식품 알레르기 관리가 제대로 이루어질 수 있도록 지속적인 홍보와 지원을 아끼지 말아야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 어린이들의 안전한 급식제공을 위해 기여할 수 있으며, 향후 영유아 급식의 알레르기 관리현황의 변화에 대한 지속적 조사와 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
