Abstract

This study was done to identify the effects of the hand washing procedure poster on the hand washing behaviors after Mers outbreak. Method: This study was conducted by observing a total of 370 people(185 people in no- poster zone, 185 people in poster zone) who used the public restroom. Results: As a result of comparing the hand washing with and without the poster, the subjects who washed their hands with the poster around were 83.2%, which was higher than the 47% of the subjects without the poster. The Time spent on the hand washing was similar between the groups with or without the poster around. Also only 3.3% of the subjects actually completed the entire 6 procedures of hand washing. The subjects who finished more than 4 procedures out of 6 were 17% from the group with the poster around, and 10.3% from the group without. Conclusion: The hand washing poster was effective in encouraging the behavior itself, but not specifically in the right way during the ideal time nor the right procedures. Therefore, verbal instructions made every time washing hands or more visual effective posters are required to enhance the hand washing procedures.

본 연구는 2015년 메르스 사태 후 성인의 손씻기 실태 및 손씻기 포스터의 효과를 파악하기 위하여 공공 화장실을 이용하는 성인 370명( 포스터 미부착 185명, 포스터 부착 185명)을 대상으로 직접 관찰 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 남성의 46%, 여성의 21.5%가 손씻기를 하지 않았으며, 포스터를 부착한 집단에서 손을 씻은 대상자는 83.2%로 포스터를 부착하지 않은 집단에서 손을 씻은 대상자 47%에 비해 많았다. 남성은 평균 7.6초 동안, 여성은 13.5초 동안 손을 씻어 여성이 더 오랫동안 손을 씻었으며, 포스터 부착군과 미부착군 간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 손씻기의 6가지 절차를 다 실천한 대상자는 3.3%에 불과하였다. 손씻기 6가지 절차 중 4가지 이상을 수행한 대상자는 포스터 부착군 17%, 미부착군 10.3%이었다. 이상의 결과에서 손씻기 포스터는 손씻기 행위 자체에는 유의한 효과가 있었으나 올바른 방법으로 손씻기를 하는데, 즉 손씻는 시간 증진과 손씻기 절차 이행율 향상에는 효과적이지 못하였다. 그러므로 공공장소 화장실에 손씻기 안내방송과 시각적인 효과를 높일 수 있는 포스터의 보급이 필요하다.
