본 연구는 여대생의 지각된 스트레스, 우울, 수면장애, 월경곤란증의 정도 및 그들 변수 간의 관계와 월경곤란증에 미치는 영향 요인을 파악하여 추후 월경곤란증 완화를 위한 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 제공하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 C도 J대학교에 재학 중인 여자대학생을 대상으로 11월 11일-12월 9일 총 4주 동안 총 160부의 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 월경곤란증과 지각된 스트레스(r=.420, p＜.001), 우울(r=.459, p＜.001), 수면장애(r=.429, p＜.001)와는 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 월경곤란증에 미치는 영향 요인은 수면장애, 우울, 지각된 스트레스 순으로, 전체 설명력은 29.3%로 나타났다. 따라서, 대학생의 월경곤란증을 완화하기 위해서는 수면의 질을 높이고 우울은 감소시키며 지각 된 스트레스는 낮추기 위한 중재프로그램 개발 및 방안이 모색되어야 하겠다.

본 연구는 한국의 대학에 재학하고 있는 한국인 여대생과 중국인 여대생을 대상으로 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 주관적인 감각과 선호도의 차이를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 춘추용 캐주얼 셔츠의 소재로 시판되는 소재 중에서 섬유조성이 상이한 7가지 종류의 흰색 셔츠 직물을 선정하였다. 캐주얼 셔츠 소재에 대한 주관적 감각 및 촉감 선호도의 평가자는 한국인 여대생과 중국인 여대생으로 40명이었다. 참가자들은 7종 소재를 관찰하고 나서 주관적인 감각과 촉감 선호도에 대한 평가를 설문지를 사용하여 작성하였다. 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 주관적 감각을 요인분석한 결과, 평활감, 경량감, 유연감, 신축감의 4개 요인으로 분류되었다. 주관적 감각 요인은 소재의 섬유조성별 국적에 따라 부분적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 한국인 여대생은 중국인 여대생 보다 면 100% 소재를 더 가볍다고 평가하였고, 폴리에스터 50%/모달 50% 소재와 P100 소재를 더 신축성이 있다고 평가하였으나, 중국인 여대생은 폴리에스터 50%/면 45%/스판덱스 5% 소재를 더 가볍다고 평가하였다. 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 섬유조성별 촉감 선호도는 국적에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 한국인 여대생은 중국인 여대생에 비해 면 80%/폴리에스터 20% 소재, 폴리에스터 50%/면 45%/스판덱스 5% 소재, 아마 100% 소재를 더 선호하였다. 한편, 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 주관적 감각 요인이 촉감 선호도에 미치는 영향은 국적에 따른 차이를 보였다. 한국 여대생의 경우, 평활감과 유연감이 캐주얼 셔츠 소재의 촉감 선호도에 긍정 적 영향을 미치는 반면, 중국인 여대생은 평활감, 유연감, 신축감이 촉감 선호도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이처럼 캐주얼 셔츠 소재에 대한 주관적 감각 및 촉감 선호도는 한국인 여대생과 중국인 여대생간의 차이를 보였다. 따라서 여대생을 대상으로 캐주얼 셔츠 소재 기획시 이러한 감성의 차이를 반영하는 것이 필요하다.

본 연구는 성 각본 이론을 기초로 여대행의 성 행동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 한국 여대생의 성 행동을 이해하고, 한국여대생의 성 행동 모델이라는 한국의 독특한 문화를 반영한 이론 형성과 성 건강증진을 위한 중재프로그램 개발에 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 시도되었다. 본 연구는 강원지역의 183 명의 여대생으로 대상으로 성 행동, 성 역할가치관, 성 주체성, 성 이중기준에 대해 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관계수와 단계적 회귀분석방법 으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 여대생의 성 주체성이 높을수록 성 행동 점수가 높았으며 성에 대해 개방적 이고 진보적인 기준을 가지고 있을수록 성 역할가치관에 있어 평등의식이 높게 나타났다. 또한, 성 주체성 이 여대생의 성 행동에 영향을 미치는 중재적 영향요인으로 확인되었다. 이 결과는 건강한 성 행동을 위해서는 자신의 몸에 대한 결정권을 가지고 자기를 보호할 수 있는 올바른 성 주체성을 확립하는 것이 중요함을 시사해준다. 이를 바탕으로, 여대생을 위한 성 건강 증진 프로그램에 성 주체성을 필수 내용으로 포함할 것을 제언하는 바이다.

본 연구는 여대생의 체질량지수와 다이어트 인식 및 다이어트 행동에 관해 알아보기 위해 시행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 대상자는 일 지역 여자대학교에 재학 중인 학생 165명으로 자료수집은 2018년 10월 29일부터 11월 9일까지 진행되었다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 SPSS/WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t 검정, 일원분산분석, 교차분석을 하였다. 전체 다이어트 인식은 3.44점이었고 요인별로는 ‘실행’이 4.00점으로 가장 높게 나타났고, 그 다음으로 ‘정보 및 교육’이 3.58점, ‘필요성’은 3.32점, ‘자가인식’은 2.84점으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 다이어트 횟수는 ‘3회 미만’이 65명(43.0%)으로 가장 많았으며 방법은 ‘음식조절’이 65명(43.0%), ‘운동’이 62명(41.1%) 순이었다. 일주일간 운동시간은 3시간 미만이 99명(65.6%)으로 가장 많았고 ‘전혀 하지 않는다’가 32명(21.2%)으로 그 다음 순이었다. 다이어트로 인한 피해경험은 22명(14.6%)이 있다고 응답했고, 종류로는 위장병, 생리불순, 탈모 등이었다. BMI에 따른 다이어트 인식 전체 점수는 저체중군이 정상체중 및 과체중군보다 점수가 낮게 나타났다(p<.001). 하부 요인별로 보면 다이어트 ‘실행’은 저체중군이 정상체중 및 과체중군보다 점수가 낮게 나타났고(p<.05), 다이어트 ‘정보 및 교육’은 과체중군의 점수가 가장 높았고, 그 다음이 정상체중군, 저체중군 순이었다(p<.001). 다이어트 ‘필요성’과 ‘자가인식’은 저체중군이 정상체중 및 과체중군보다 점수가 낮게 나타났다(p<.001). 다이어트 인식에 따른 다이어트 행동은 다이어트 횟수와 방법에서 차이가 있었다(p<.001). 본 연구 결과를 토대로 여대생의 올바른 다이어트 인식 형성과 건강한 생활유지를 위한 관심과 교육이 필요하다고 사료된다.

This study, based on physical therapy interventions for menstruation disorders, observed the effect of Pilates stabilization exercises and Kinesio taping on dysmenorrhea and prostaglandin F2α levels. Female college students (n=37) who had >70 points on the mood disorder questionnaire (MDQ) and >4 points on the visual analogue scale (VAS) were divided into three different groups, the Pilates group (PG, n= 13), Pilates and Taping group (PTG, n=12), Taping group (TG, n=12). Pilates and taping were performed 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Pre- and post-menstruation difficulties were measured through the MDQ. Changes in blood prostaglandin F2α levels were also measured. Changes in pre- and post-menstrual pain and prostaglandin F2α levels were significantly reduced in the PG, PTG, and TG. Changes in pre- and postmenstrual pain and prostaglandin F2α levels resulted in significant differences in the PTG and TG. Dysmenorrhea and prostaglandin F2α levels were significantly decreased in the TG than in the PTG. These findings suggest that Pilates stabilization exercises and Kinesio taping are effective in decreasing menstrual difficulties and pain in female college students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between sports commitment, sportswear brand satisfaction, and brand loyalty of female university students in their 20s. Two hundred surveys were distributed to female university students, and 185 responses were used for the final analysis. The SPSS program was used with a reliability test and factor, frequency, path analysis. Based on the literature review, the following five hypotheses were suggested. H1: Cognitive commitment will have a positive effect on the behavioral commitment of sports commitment factors. H2: The behavioral commitment of female university students will have a positive effect on brand satisfaction. H3: Sportswear brand satisfaction will have a positive effect on continuous brand loyalty. H4: Cognitive commitment will have a positive effect on habitual brand loyalty. H5: Continuous brand loyalty will have a positive effect on habitual brand loyalty. The results of this study showed that first, after the factor analysis, there were two factors of sports commitment (behavioral commitment and cognitive commitment). Second, the path analysis results revealed that there were significant relationships between sports commitment factors (cognitive commitment and behavioral commitment), sportswear brand satisfaction, and brand loyalty factors (continuous brand loyalty and habitual brand loyalty). The results revealed that cognitive commitment had a positive relationship with behavioral commitment, which had a positive relationship with sportswear brand satisfaction. Sportswear brand satisfaction had a positive relationship with continuous brand loyalty, which had a positive relationship with habitual brand loyalty. Cognitive commitment also had a positive relationship with habitual brand loyalty.

This study was conducted using a self boarding questionnaire survey to investigate body image perception, dietary habits and nutrient intakes according to interest level in health of female university students in Masan area (n=302). The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to interest level in health (‘High’ group, n=101, ‘Low’ group, n=201). Body image according to BMI was significantly different regardless of interest level in health (p<0.001). The answer percentage indicated that the purpose of weight control is health, regular use of the scale, and regular exercise were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.05). Nutrient knowledge score (p<0.01) and food frequency score (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.01). There were no significant differences in nutrient intake, but intake, NAR and INQ of vitamin C were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.001). Nutrition knowledge score (p<0.01), food intake frequency score (p<0.01), and INQ and NAR of vitamin C (p<0.01) were positively correlated with the interest level in health. These results will be useful as a basis for the development of effective nutrition education programs in order to increase interest level in health and apply well in real life what have learned through the correct nutrition knowledge.

무용수는 공연에 대한 스트레스, 식이 조절, 근골격계 손상 등으로 신체조성의 수준이나 골밀 도에 문제가 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 문제로 인하여 한국무용수가 가지고 있는 신체 조성과 골밀도의 특성을 평가하여 건강상태를 파악하고 그에 따른 관리가 이루어질 필요가 있 다. 따라서, 본 연구는 dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA)를 이용하여 한국무용 전공 여대생 10명과 일반 여대생 10명의 신체조성과 골밀도를 비교분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 신체조성은 측정된 DEXA의 결과에서 body mass index(BMI), 체지방률, 근육량, 제지방량을 사용하였으며 골 밀도는 팔, 다리, 척추, 골반 부위의 골밀도 값을 사용하였다. 연구결과 두 집단 간의 BMI(p=.313), 체지방률(p=.060), 근육량(p=.264), 제지방량(p=.272)의 신 체조성은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 팔(p=.055), 다리(p=.105), 척추(p=.276), 골반 (p=.126) 부위의 골밀도 또한 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 한국무용 전공 여대 생과 일반 여대생의 신체조성 및 골밀도의 차이는 없었다. 이러한 연구결과는 한국무용수에게 한국무용과 식이 섭취 경향이 골밀도와 신체조성을 부정적으로 변화시키지 않았으며 오히려 긍 정적인 영향을 준 가능성이 시사되었다.

The purpose of this study was to determine differences in perception of weight management, balanced food intake, knowledge of obesity, and nutrition knowledge in university students. The average weight and height of male subjects were 175.0±5.7cm and 69.1±11.8kg, whereas those of female subjects were 161.7±5.0cm and 51.7±6.9kg, respectively. Average scores for balanced food intake were not significantly different between male and female students. The total number of correct answers for obesity knowledge was not significantly different according to gender, but four responses related with losing weight showed higher perception scores in females compared to males (p〈0.05). The total number of correct answers for nutrition knowledge was not significantly different between males and females. The average BMI of male and female subjects were 22.5±3.44 and 19.7±2.21, respectively, ranged in normality. Self-evaluation of body shape was mostly in the normal or standard range in both males and females, but females showed a higher perception rate of chubby or fat than males. The percentages of interest in weight management was 36.0% in males and 50.8% in females, with higher interest in female subjects (p〈0.01).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and correlation of anthropometric data, eating behaviors, and nutrient intake on the bone mineral density(BMD) of female college students. 349 female college students were surveyed and their age, height, and weight were an average of 20.5 years, 163.2 ㎝ and 54.0 ㎏, respectively. Their average BMI was 20.2, with 66% falling in the normal range, 21.8% classified as underweight, 8.0% as overweight, and obese individuals comprised 3.4% of the sample by BMI classification. Calcaneal BMD was measured and the average T-score was 0.117. The results of BMD measurements were normal in 268 people(76.8%), osteopenia was found in 71 individuals(20.3%), and osteoporosis in 10(2.9%), respectively. There was a significant difference in bone mineral density according to height(p<0.05) and BMI (p<0.01). There were significant differences between BMD and eating behavior, regularity of eating behaviors(p<0.05), instant food intake(p<0.05), eating out(p<0.05) and nutritional supplement intake(p<0.05). In addition, normal the group with normal BMD had a more desirable eating behavior compared to the osteopenia and osteoporosis afflicted groups. BMD had a significant difference according to the nutrient intake of calcium(p<0.05), vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.05). In conclusion, BMD showed a good correlation with height(p<0.01), BMI(p<0.01), body composition including total body water(p<0.05), FFM(p<0.05), body protein(p<0.05) and intake of calcium(p<0.05), iron(p<0.05), vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.05). Therefore, an education plan and training on balanced diets proper body weight control, and desirable eating behaviors for female college students will be needed.

The purpose of this study was to find discover the effects of self-efficacy and self-esteem on the appearance management behavior of female college students. As for the study method, questionnaire survey sheets on general traits like age, grade year, major and management cost, sense of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and appearance management behavior were distributed to female college students. The responses were measured based on a 5-points Likert scale. The results of this study are as follow: One’s sense of social self-efficacy and self-esteem were both found to affect appearance management behavior significantly. In other words, the greater one’s sense of social self-efficacy, which represents one's sense of confidence in inter-personal relations, the greater one’s appearance management behaviors to enhance her own value. Furthermore, the greater one’s self-esteem(the way one feels positively about oneself), the greater one’s appearance management behaviors. As a result, it can be judged that the more an individual wants to act more capable in different contexts, the more she tries to make up for her own disadvantage. To highlight her own advantages for the sake of greater positive social activities and inter-personal relation, the more she takes to improve her image through appearance management behaviors. It is anticipated that such an examination of appearance management behavior, sense of self-efficacy and self-esteem among female college students will serve as useful data for appearance-related industries by enabling them to properly under stand their clientele’s psychological traits.

As directly imported apparel brands are actively entering the domestic market, studies of the marketing aspects of these imported apparel products and their overall consumption trend have been done. However, studies of whether are not the directly imported apparel products provide Korean consumers with an appropriate fit are not as common. Therefore, this study investigates the satisfaction with and problems associated with the fit along with the recognition of and preference for directly imported US apparel brands. 100 female college students who purchased directly imported US apparel brands participated in a survey. The results of this survey showed that their recognition of, preference for, possession rate of and satisfaction with the directly imported US apparel brands tend to be high. The major purchasing motivations were the excellent ‘design’ and ‘color’ of the products. The subjects reported that they were satisfied with the quality of ‘materials’ and ‘sewing condition’. However, they were not satisfied with the ‘comfort’ or the ‘size’. Their level of satisfaction with the fit of these products differed depending on the specific item. Their level of satisfaction with the fit of T-shirts and knits was high, whereas the level for pants was relatively low. They complained mostly about the sleeve length and garment length of upper-body garments and coats. They were not satisfied with how the pants fit. The areas of dissatisfaction regarding the pants were the waist girth, the crotch length and the pants length.

The aim of this study was to compare the dietary patterns and behaviors of female university students according to their type of residence. The subjects consisted of 369 female students from the Gyeongju area. This cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The SPSS 14.0 statistical package was used for the data analysis. The results are as follows: the height and weight means were 162.7±4.6 cm and 53.9±6.7 kg respectively. For BMI, 44.2% of the subjects were with in the normal (18.5-23) and 49.1% were underweight and 6.2% were overweight. In terms of alcohol consumption, 78.9% of the subjects consumed alcoholic beverages, and there was no significant difference by the type of residence However, for drink proportion and the preferred type of alcoholic drink there were significant differences by the type of residence (p〈0.001). Third, for smoking status and the intention of quitting smoking there were significant differences by the type of residence (p〈0.000, p〈0.05 respectively). Also, for exercise regularity and preference as well as food preference and taste, there were again significant differences by the type of residence (p〈0.001). Finally, in terms of breakfast intake and kinds of foods eaten at breakfast significant differences were found by the type of residence (p〈0.01).

Hand-washing is one of the most important factors in infection control and in preventing crosscontamination. The objective of this study was to investigate female university students’ awareness of hand-washing, their hand washing practices, and the difference between their awareness and practices. A self-administered questionnaire survey and direct observation in restrooms were separately carried out in a university campus and over four weeks’ period. A total of 97.4% of the survey respondents claimed to wash their hands after using toilet, and 98.2% of the observed students actually did so according to the unnoticed observational study. However, only 6.3% of the students who washed their hands in the direct observation washed for more than 10 seconds, although 46.4% of respondents in the survey reported that they usually wash their hands for more than 10 seconds. Among the observed students who washed their hands, only 0.9% used soap, and 0.9% washed four parts of their hands. Paper towel was the most common hand-drying method in the direct observation and also in the survey. Significant differences were found in duration, use of soap, part of washing, and hand-drying method between the questionnaire survey and the direct observation (p<0.05). This study indicates that there is a noticeable difference between the awareness of handwashing and hand-washing practices among female university students. Further research should examine hand-washing practices of female university students in restrooms outside the university campus.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the food preference and attitude according to six emotions in female university students. Also, it was studied whether the desire to food consumption was changed by each mood. The selfreported questionnaire was used to 285 female university students. There were the significant differences in food preference according to emotions. Pizza & pasta, ice cream and cake were preferred during happiness and amusement. In sadness and anger, alcohol was the most preferred food item. There was the preference of beverage, Jjigae & Baikban, ice cream and snack during relaxation. Chocolate showed the highest preference during depression. The taste and flavor was the main preference attributes during all emotions. The self-assessed food intake during happiness, amusement, anger and relaxation was increased but it was decreased during sadness and depression (p<0.001).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects that body composition, nutrient intake, and biochemical indices have on skin status, as well as their associations with skin health status, by assessing 44 female university students. The subjects were classified into 3 groups according to skin sensitivity: sensitive skin (n=11), slightly sensitive skin (n=24), and normal skin (n=9). The study included anthropometric measurements and body composition analyses, dietary intake evaluations, blood chemical analyses, and skin health status assessments. Based on % body fat, the results indicated the subjects were moderately obese (29.6%). Obesity indices were not different among the groups, but the sensitive skin group tended to have higher skinfold thickness. Dry skin was determined as the skin type of all subjects. In the sensitive skin groups, U-zone and T-zone sebum were significantly lower (p〈0.05), and spots were significantly higher (p〈0.05) than in the normal skin group. In terms of nutrient intakes, the sensitive skin groups consumed significantly lower amounts of P and vitamins A and E (p〈0.05). There were no significant differences in serum lipid fractions or total antioxidant status among the groups. In correlation coefficients analysis, skin elasticity had significant negative correlations with subscapular and midaxillary skinfold thickness, body protein, and body minerals (p〈0.05). Wrinkling had positive correlations with triceps and thigh skinfold thickness (p〈0.05). Skin evenness had negative correlations with energy intake, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, niacin, and zinc (p〈0.05), as well as folate and P (p〈0.01) and vitamin B6 (p〈0.001). A similar correlation tendency was observed for spots and nutrient intake, showing negative correlations with vitamins A, B6, and E, as well as folate, Fe, and P. U-zone sebum showed significant positive correlations with serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides. From these findings, skin health status appears to be affected by both nutrient intake and body composition. Therefore, having a proper balance between dietary intake and body composition may influence skin health status in females with sensitive skin.
