Soyeon Kim,Smi Choi-Kwon 한국간호과학회 2021 한국간호과학회 학술대회 Vol.2021 No.10

Aim(s): The aim of this study was to identify the changes in dietary behavior of shift work nurses and its influencing factors over time. Method(s): This study was a secondary analysis study based on the Shift Work Nurses’ Health and Turnover study. Data of 165 shift work nurses who were followed for all three time points (before shift work (T0), after 6 months (T1), and after 18 months (T2) of shift work) were analyzed. Dietary behavior, depression, and fatigue were measured. Stress and frequency of walking, muscular and flexibility exercise were also measured. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 to acquire descriptive statistics, generalized estimating equations and multiple linear regression analysis. Result(s): Dietary behavior of shift work nurses was poorer at T1(27.79±5.30) and T2 (27.86±5.44) compared to T0 (31.84±5.49). However, dietary behavior at T1 and T2 were not different. Analysis with GEE had shown that shift work duration (B=-2.570, p=0.000 at 6 month and B=-3.257, p=0.000 at 18 month), depression (B=-1.198, p=0.026) and fatigue (B=-1.024, p=0.037) had negative effects on shift work nurses’ dietary behavior. We conducted additional multiple linear regression analysis for T1 and T2. The factors related to dietary behavior at T1 were frequency of walking (B=0.713, p=0.001) and fatigue (B=-1.958, p=0.016). The related factors at T2 were frequency of flexibility exercise (B=0.903, p=0.000) and depression (B=-2.637, p=0.004). Conclusion(s): These findings demonstrate that dietary behavior deteriorated and sustained as poor once the shift work started. Shift work itself, depression and fatigue were major factors that influence shift work nurse’s dietary behavior. Physical activities such as walking and flexibility exercise may also affect shift work nurses’ dietary behavior. Efforts to decrease depression and fatigue by offering regular counseling, and adapting forward shift rotation are urgently needed to maintain good dietary behavior. Also, exercise programs for shift work nurses in the hospital are required.

This study was conducted to investigate whether there were any differences in the body image perception, dietary behavior and maternal dietary guidance between an obese group ("OG") and a normal weight group ("NWG"), and furthermore, to provide basic informations for comprehensive educational programs for obese children. For this purpose, the questionnaire method was used. The subjects were 1,501 elementary school children, in the 4th to the 6th grades in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Owangju, and Andong, and their mothers (1,459). The percentage of the children who misperceive their body image was higher among the girls (30.4%) than the boys (22.6%). The average scores for balanced dietary behavior as assessed by the children was higher in the OG than in NWG; the average scores for dietary control as assessed by their mothers was higher in the NWG than in the OG. The scores for dietary behavior as assessed by the children was different from those as assessed by their mothers. Assuming that the mothers would give more correct and balanced answers, the development of a reliable questionnaire for dietary behavior that could be more accurately answered by the children is necessary. Maternal dietary guidance for dietary control was more frequently given in the OG as compared with the NWG and more frequently in girls as compared with boys; while that for balanced diet was more in the NWG as compared with the OG. The worse the mothers estimate of the dietary behavior for their children, the more they tried to guide their children in dietary behavior. It is recommended that the children should be taught to correctly recognize the degree of their obesity, and receive the appropriate educational program accordingly, including the maternal dietary guidance.

Objectives: This study investigates dietary supplement intakes by examining the characteristics of dietary and health-related behaviors. Data were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Dietary and health-related behaviors were also examined before and after the occurrence of COVID-19 and household types (multi-members vs. single person). Methods: Data used in this study were collected from the 2019-2020 KNHANES by including adults aged 19 to 64 years. Pregnant, lactating, and subjects consuming calories less than 500 and more than 5,000 were excluded. Differences in dietary and health-related behaviors before and after COVID-19, and between the two types of households were analyzed by Chi-square analyses using Rao-Scott. Logistic regression analyses were applied to determine which dietary and health-related behaviors affected the dietary supplement intakes. In addition, descriptive analysis was run for demographic characteristics. Results: The dietary supplement intake rate differed significantly with respect to the gender, age, education, marital status, and household income. Dietary supplement intakes, frequency of eating out, obesity, and body weight changes were significantly different before and after COVID-19. In addition, meal evaluation, frequency of eating out, drinking, smoking, activity, subjective health evaluation, and body weight changes showed significant differences by household type. Attitude towards nutrition, activity, meal evaluation, obesity, and smoking were factors that affected the intake of dietary supplements. Conclusions: While increased intake of dietary supplements is a prevalent phenomenon, this intake needs to be monitored and studied closely, considering the sociodemographic characteristics and dietary and health-related behaviors. Furthermore, the dietary supplement intake trend after COVID-19 needs to be studied along with food intake.

Dietary therapy is a basic and emphasized treatment for diabetes. Several clinical studies have shown that diet can play a major role in preventing and managing diabetes. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the dietary behavior and to find solutions to barriers of diabetes mellitus patients. From February to July in 2007, questionnaires were distributed to one hundred and ten patients who were diagnosed DM by physicians and excluded first coming out-patients. One hundred and three data were used for statistical analysis using SPSS/Win 12.0. The main results of this study included the following: To measure dietary behaviors and barriers, a five point scale was used with the following labels: `strongly yes`, `yes`, `fair`, `no`, `strongly no`. Thirteen dietary behaviors related to diabetes were grouped into the following 4 factors using factor analysis; `taste control factor`, `blood glucose influence factor`, `practice volition factor`, and `exercise factor`. The mean scores of 4 factors were 3.88, 3.48, 3.55, 3.21, respectively. The `taste control behaviors` score of subjects who had practiced diet therapy (4.00) was higher than those who had not practiced diet therapy (P<0.05). The `blood glucose influence behaviors` score of subjects who had nutrition education (3.59) was higher than those who had no nutrition education (P<0.05) and subjects who had practiced diet therapy showed higher score (3.59) than those who had not practiced diet therapy (P<0.05). `Exercise behaviors score` of subjects who were over 60 (3.59) was the lowest (P<0.05). Subjects who had nutrition education showed higher `exercise behaviors` scores (3.38) than those who had no nutrition education (P<0.05). Subjects who had practiced diet therapy showed higher `practice volition behaviors` scores (3.72) than those who had not practiced diet therapy (P<0.001). Subjects who were over weight showed the highest `practice volition behaviors` scores (3.78) concerning BMI (P<0.05). In conclusion, this study expected that Nutrition educators (Dietitian) applied to patient effective nutrition education and counseling through evaluation of Dietary behaviors and barriers considered management types and ecological factors of diabetes patients. Also diabetic patients were easy to change dietary habits because they formed behaviors through education and counsel and there were positive effects in their blood glucose control through removing barriers related to dietary therapy.

대학생들의 영양 지식․식이 자기효능감 및 식습관과 메뉴선택행동과의 관계

최정은,김영국 한국외식경영학회 2012 외식경영연구 Vol.15 No.6

This study investigated the relationship between university students' nutrition knowledge․dietary self-efficacy․eating habits and menu choice behavior. Data were collected from a sample of 335 university students in Daegu, Kyungbuk, and Busan. A structural equation modeling technique was used to test the causal model. The results indicated that objective nutrition knowledge affects dietary self-efficacy, dietary habits and menu choice behavior. The objective knowledge about nutrition has a direct influence on choosing menu. subjective knowledge about nutrition has not only a direct influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing health but also an indirect influence on it through dietary self-efficacy. But it doesn't have a meaningful influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing convenience and feeling. Dietary self-efficacy has a positive influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing health and a negative influence on that of menu choice pursuing convenience and feeling directly and so does it indirectly through dietary habits as well. Dietary habits have a positive influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing health and a negative influence on that of menu choice pursuing convenience and feeling directly and so does it indirectly through dietary self-efficacy. 본 연구의 목적은 최근 건강한 식생활에 관심이 증대되고 있는 것과 관련하여대학생들의 영양 지식·식이 자기효능감 및 식습관과 메뉴선택행동과의 관계를 살펴보기 위해 조사되었다. 실증조사를 위하여 대구, 경북, 부산 지역 4년제 대학생을 대상으로 총 335부의 설문지를 회수하였으며 AMOS(19.0) 통계 패키지를 이용하여 연구 모형 및 연구 가설을 검증하였다. 검증 결과 영양에 대한 객관적·주관적 지식은 식이 자기효능감과 식습관에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 메뉴선택행동과의 관계에서 영양에 대한 객관적 지식은 건강 추구, 편의성 추구, 감각성 추구 행동에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면 주관적 지식은 건강 추구 메뉴선택행동에는 정의 영향을 미치지만 편의성·감각성 추구 메뉴선택행동에는유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 식이 자기효능감은 식습관과 메뉴선택행동 모두 유의한 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 식습관을 통해 간접적으로 메뉴선택행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 대학생들의 식습관은 메뉴선택행동에 정의 영향을 미치며 식이 자기효능감을 통해 간접적으로도 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다.

이명숙(Lee, Myoung Sook),현화진(Hyun, Wha Jin),송경희(Song, Kyung Hee) 한국영양학회 2018 Journal of Nutrition and Health Vol.51 No.5

본 연구는 2011년 7월 4일부터 2011년 8월 24일까지 중학생들의 식행동 실태와 식행동과 학업관련 인자의 관계를 분석하고자 경기지역의 일부 중학교의 남자 중학생 295명, 여자 중학생 285명을 대상으로 설문지 조사 방법을 통하여 학업관련 인자와 식행동을 조사하여 분석하였다. 연구대상자들의 수면시간은 6 ~ 8시간 미만이 71.3%로 많았고, 학교 외 공부시간은 2 ~ 4시간 미만이 가장 많았다. 과외, 학원 공부에 대한 스트레스에서는 ‘거의 받지 않는다’가 가장 많았으며 남학생이 여학생 보다 스트레스를 더 많이 받고 있었다. 중학생들의 식습관 점수는 ‘과일을 매일 먹습니까?’ ‘아침은 매일 규칙적으로 먹습니까?’의 점수가 높았고, ‘식사를 할 때는 식품 배합을 생각해서 먹습니까?의 점수가 가장 낮았다. 평균 식습관 점수는 남학생 3.69 ± 0.67점 여학생은 3.62 ± 0.67점으로 중간정도 수준으로 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 식습관에서 남학생들은 ‘우유를 매일 마십니까?, 여학생들은 ‘과일을 매일 먹습니까?’에서 높은 점수를 나타내었다. 중학생의 하루 평균 식사횟수는 3회하는 학생이 가장 많았고 한 끼 식사에 걸리는 시간은 10 ~ 20분 걸리는 학생이 가장 많았으며, 남학생이 여학생보다 한 끼 식사에 걸리는 시간이 짧았다. 식사가 규칙적인편인 학생이 가장 많았으며 간식 섭취 횟수는 하루 1 ~ 2회가 가장 많았다. 학업관련인자에 따른 식행동 실태에서는 학교 외 공부시간이 2시간 이상인 학생들이 2시간 미만 공부하는 학생에 비해 식습관 점수가 높았고, 학교외 공부시간 2시간 미만인 학생이 2시간 이상 공부하는 학생에 비해 2끼를 먹는 비율이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 수면시간이 증가할수록, 하루 평균 공부시간이 많은 학생일수록 식사를 규칙적으로 하는 비율이 증가하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 조사대상 중학생들은 대체로 적정 시간의 수면을 취하고 있었고, 전체적으로 학생들의 과외, 학원 공부에 대한 스트레스 정도는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 식습관은 중간 이상의 점수였으며, 하루 3끼니의 식사를 하고 식사가 규칙적인 학생들이 많았다. 또한 학생들의 수면시간과 학교 외 공부시간이 식습관 점수와 식행동에 관련성을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구 대상자들의 식습관이 비교적 양호하고, 학업 관련 스트레스도 크지 않게 나타난 것은 매우 다행스럽다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 식습관이 수면시간과 학교 외 공부시간 등의 학업관련 인자와 관련성을 보였으므로, 특히 학업 부담으로 인한 학업관련 인자들의 문제를 가지고 있는 학생들에게 더 많은 관심을 가지고, 학생들이 규칙적인 식습관을 형성할 수 있도록 올바른 식행동에 대한 교육이 이루어져야 하겠다. Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the status of dietary behavior and its association with study-related factors in middle school students. Methods: Study-related factors, dietary habit score and dietary behaviors were surveyed by questionnaire and then analyzed. A total of 580 students in some middle schools in Gyeonggi-do participated in this study. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS for windows Ver. 22.0. Results: 71.3% of the subjects slept for 6 ~ 8 hours, and the studying time outside of school was the highest (2 ~ 4 hours). The highest score for stress from studying by private lessons or academies was ‘seldom stressed’, with higher stress being observed in male students than female students. The average dietary habit score was 3.69 in male students and 3.62 in female students. The highest average time for meal eating was 10 ~ 20 minutes, with shorter times being observed for male students than female students. Eating meals was regular in most students and the highest number of snack eating was 1 ~ 2 times a day. For dietary behaviors by study-related factors, students with more than 2 hours of studying time outside of school showed higher dietary habit scores than those with less than 2 hours, who showed significantly higher rates of eating 2 meals a day. As the sleeping hours and daily average studying hours increased, the rate of regular meal eating increased significantly. Conclusion: The students showed good, above average dietary behaviors, but gender differences in study-related factors and dietary behaviors. Moreover, the sleeping hours and the studying time outside of school were correlated with dietary habit scores and dietary behaviors. Thus, continuous and systematic education for proper dietary behavior is needed along with greater interest in students with problems of study-related factors, particularly those due to study burden.

광주, 전남 지역 보건소 종사자의 영양지식, 식이 효능감 및 식 행동 연구

이지원,정복미 한국지역사회생활과학회 2022 한국지역사회생활과학회지 Vol.33 No.3

This study surveyed the nutritional knowledge, dietary efficacy, and eating behavior of workers at public health centers. General characteristics, nutritional knowledge, dietary efficacy, and eating behavior were determined for 347 employees of public health centers in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas. General characteristics revealed that most of the subjects were women, with the majority being in their 40s The normal body mass index was the highest for this group. The frequency of exercise and almost no drinking were the highest, and most respondents answered that their objective health was normal. The dietary efficacy was found to be greatly influenced by the surroundings; a higher dietary efficacy score was obtained with higher frequency of exercise and better subjective health conditions. Correlating nutritional knowledge, dietary efficacy, and eating behavior revealed a positive correlation between nutritional knowledge and eating behavior, and between dietary efficacy and eating behavior. However, no correlation was obtained between nutritional knowledge and dietary efficacy. Analyzing the factors affecting eating behavior showed that people with high nutritional knowledge and dietary efficacy, low body mass index, daily exercise, or those who thought they were healthy, had a positive effect on eating behavior. According to the results of this study, nutrition education on nutritional knowledge and dietary efficacy are required for the correct eating behavior of health center workers. We believe that the health promotion of health center members can be achieved by imparting such education.

나자영,오효원,이흥수 대한예방치과·구강보건학회 2023 大韓口腔保健學會誌 Vol.47 No.1

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between oral health beliefs and oral health-related dietary behavior. Methods: The participants of this cross-sectional study were 728 middle school students living in Jeonju who were selected through convenience sampling. For the survey, self-administered questionnaires were completed in individual settings. The analysis model was the oral health belief model, and the analysis method was path analysis. Results: Among oral health beliefs, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy were found to be correlated with the oral health-related dietary behavior index. Multiple regression analysis showed that factors affecting the oral health-related dietary behavior index were gender (female), perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy. Path analysis showed that variables that significantly impact the oral health-related dietary behavior index are perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and likelihood of action. The factor with the greatest impact was perceived barrier; the lower the barrier, the higher the level of dietary behavior undertaken to prevent dental caries. Conclusions: Oral health beliefs are related to oral health-related dietary behavior. Since perceived barriers had the greatest correlation with oral health-related dietary behavior, measures must be taken to help remove the barriers.

중국 현지 소비자들의 식생활 라이프스타일 세분화에 따른 식행동 연구

오지은,윤혜려,Oh, Ji Eun,Yoon, Hei-Ryeo 한국식생활문화학회 2017 韓國食生活文化學會誌 Vol.32 No.5

연구는 중국 소비자들의 식생활라이프 스타일 요인에 따른 인구학적 특성을 구분함으로써 중국소비자들의 식행동의 차별성을 소비자 집단에 따라 세분화 하여 분석하고, 향후 타겟 소비자의 식품과 음식에 대한 속성과 특성 요구를 수용하는 상품개발을 위한 기초자료를 마련함을 그 목적으로 한다. 식생활라이프스타일에 대한 요인분석 결과 음식의 맛과 질을 중요시여기는 미식요인(Gourmet factor), 건강요인(Healthy factor), 편의요인(Convenience factor), 경제요인(Economic factor) 등 4개 요인이 추출되었으며, 식생활라이프스타일 요인점수에 따라 4개의 군집으로 분류되었다. 이들 4개 그룹은 차별화된 식생활라이프스타일 유형으로 특징지을 수 있으며, 그룹 1 미식경제군은 20대의 젊은이들의 구성비율이 높고 자취의 비율이 높으며, 외식횟수가 높으며 하루 세끼 식사를 규칙적으로 하는 비율은 상대적으로 낮았다. 이들은 식생활라이프스타일은 미식요인과 경제적 요인에 민감한 반면 건강요인과 편의요인에의 민감도가 낮았으며, 식행동에서도 규칙적이며 균형잡힌 식생활에 대한 실천이 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 즉 음식과 식품에 대하여 품질에 있어서 맛을 추구하지만 몸의 건강을 지키기 위한 식생활의 실천은 낮은 것으로 특징지을 수 있다. 그룹 2 두루관심군은 30대 구성 비율이 높았고 고학력층과 고소득층이 다른 그룹에 비해 높았다. 식생활라이프 스타일 요인 전반에 대한 추구성향이 타 그룹들에 비해 높아, 다양하고 새로운 음식, 외식과 삶에 대한 즐거움을 즐기는 미식을 추구하고, 건강과 관련되는 웰빙 식재료와 식품에 대한 추구도 높았다. 그러나 경제적인 요인인 쿠폰 활용, 가성비 등을 따지고 상대적으로 편의 식품을 적게 소비하며, 식행동 및 식습관에서도 다른 그룹보다 규칙적이며, 특히 유제품과 동물성 단백질의 섭취가 높고, 균형 잡힌 건강식을 섭취하는 식생활 고관심의 스마트 컨슈머의 성향을 보인다. 그룹 3 건강경제군은 40대 이상의 남성비율과 주부의 구성 비율이 높으며 소득수준이 다른 그룹에 비해 낮은, 가족형의 소비자군을 구성한다. 즉 식생활라이프스타일에서도 건강식품, 자연식재료 등에 건강성을 추구하고 식품구매에 있어서 경제적인 가성비를 추구하는 성향을 보이나 식행동 및 식습관 분석 결과 가공식품의 섭취가 다른 그룹에 비해 높은 경향을 보였다. 마지막으로 그룹 4는 30대 이상, 여성의 비율이 상대적으로 높았으며, 대학 이상의 교육수준도 다른 그룹에 비해 높았다. 이들은 가격과 편의성보다는 건강과 맛을 추구하는 그룹으로 중국의 중년여성들의 로하스 지향성이 가장 많이 나타나며, 영양지식을 실생활에 직접 활용하는 것으로 조사되었다. 중국인의 식생활은 최근 10년 사이 전통적인 농수산물의 소비에서 간편식이나, 서구식 식사 등으로 변화되고 있으며, 도시거주민 등을 중심으로 웰빙과 건강, 식생활에 대한 관심도도 높아지고 있다. 미식과 웰빙, 가성비와 간편식 등을 추구하는 식생활라이프스타일은 우리나라를 비롯한 일본, 유럽 등에서도 보편적인 식행동 등으로 나타나며 따라서 중국인들은 높아진 소득과 더불어 건강과 미식 등을 지향하는 다양한 식생활 행동패턴이 조사되었다. 본 연구에서 식생활라이프스타일은 유형별 집단으로 구별되며 차별적 특성을 나타내었고, 이들의 식생활라이프스타일에 따라 식행동 및 식습관은 유의적 This study was conducted to analyze the dietary lifestyle of local Chinese consumers and to classify dietary characteristics according to their dietary lifestyle factors and dietary behaviors. This investigation was conducted for 1 month from 1 January 2017 targeting 300 adult males and females living in China using the online survey company surveymonkey. Four factors relating to dietary lifestyle were identified, gourmet factor, healthy factor, convenience factor and economic factor, and these were grouped into 4 clusters according to their dietary lifestyle factor scores. Group 1, the gourmet economy group, showed a high percentage of living alone and a high frequency of eating out, but a relatively low percentage of three regular meals per day. Their dietary lifestyle was sensitive to gourmet factors and economic factors, but less sensitive to health and convenience factors. Group 2, the wide interest group, contained a high percentage of individuals in their 30s, as well as more highly educated individuals and a higher income than other groups. Because their dietary lifestyle scores tended to be higher than those of other groups, they sought a variety of new foods and gourmet meals for enjoyment of dining and life, as well as well-being food materials and foods related to health. Group 3, the health economic group, constituted a family-type consumer group with lower income level than the other groups. Members of this group were seeking health food and natural food in their dietary lifestyle and tended to pursue a high economic profit ratio when purchasing food. Finally, group 4 showed a relatively higher percentage of women over 30 and individuals with a college level or higher education than the other groups. This group was more interested in health and taste than price and convenience, and showed the highest LOHAS orientation among middle aged Chinese women. Moreover, members of this group directly utilized their knowledge regarding nutrition in real life.
