Surveys on the consumption of caffeinated beverages by high school students (n=886) were performed. Of the students, 97.0% consumed a variety of caffeinated beverages, including carbonated drinks (90.0%), processed milk and cocoa (79.0%), coffee (63.0), teas (52.1), energy drinks (16.4%) and nourishment drinks (15.5%). The frequency of intake per student was 8.2 times per week. Caffeine intake through the caffeinated beverages was 41.53 mg/day, which was accounted for by coffee (51.5%), carbonated drinks (19.6%), processed milk and cocoa (11.5%), teas (11.4%), energy drinks (5.0%) and nourishment drinks (1.1%). Students with high levels of stress, those who consumed snacks twice a day, and those who used a computer (or smart phone) for more than 3 hours per day showed significantly higher caffeine intake. The groups with high caffeine intake experienced heart palpitations, insomnia and pollakiuria. Students indicated that they consumed the caffeinated beverages for the taste (57.9%), waking up (18.0%), thirst (13.2%), etc. (10.9%). They tended to consume drinks with a high content of caffeine to sleep less. In addition, they rarely checked the label, and showed a lack of awareness of the caffeine contents in the beverages, which calls for education.

본 연구의 결과를 통하여 원예치료 프로그램이 유아의 사회성 발달을 향상시킴을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 자연친화적인 환경과 직접경험을 통한 그룹간의 원예 활동으로 의사소통, 표현력, 대인관계가 향상되었으며, 더불어 사회성이 발달 되었다. 이를 바탕으로 사회집단에서 일생동안 생활해야만 하는 유아들에게 보다 전문적인 원예치료 프로그램의 개발과 연구가 필요하다고 사료 된다.
