Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the recognition and behavior of female workers on irradiated food. A total of 326 surveys have been analyzed. The results of the study showed that the level of knowledge was 3.411 points and the level of recognition was 2.542 points. There was a significant difference in purchase of irradiated food by level of education, affiliation, and job type; in consumption of irradiated food by affiliation, level of education, job type and work experience; in preventive behavior of irradiated food by affiliation, work experience and job type. In a correlation analysis on the factors of irradiated food, those with more knowledge and better recognition had more experience of purchase and consumption. However, preventive behavior had no significant correlation with knowledge, recognition, purchase and consumption. Therefore, for a rational selection of irradiated food, it is important to provide information and safety training on them.

본 연구는 방사선 조사식품에 대한 여성 근로자들의 인식 및 행태를 파악하기 위해 설문조사로 수행되었으며 수집된 총 326부의 설문지를 최종 분석하였다. 연구결과 방사선 조사식품에 대한 지식수준은 3.411점, 인식수준은 2.542점이었다. 방사선 조사식품의 구입경험은 학력, 근무기관 및 직업에서, 섭취경험은 근무기관, 학력, 직업 및 경력에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 방사선 조사식품에 대한 예방행동은 근무기관, 경력 및 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 방사선 조사식품에 대한 요인별 상관관계 분석에서 지식이 많고 인식이 좋을수록 구입 및 섭취경험이 많은 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 예방 행동은 지식, 인식, 구입경험 및 섭취경험과 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 따라서 향후 방사선 조사식품의 합리적 선택을 위해 방사선 조사식품에 대한 정보제공, 안전성 교육 등이 필요하다고 판단된다.
