Eun Jung Shin, Man Joong Jeon, Joon Sakong
Abstract
The knowledge, attitude and practice on skin health care were investigated among 200 high school girls at the girl`s high school in Yeongcheon city to provide proper skin care information and methods of actual skin care by using the structured questionnaire. The average score on knowledge of skin health care was 6.08 points(out of 14 points). It was not significantly different according to the characteristics including the student`s grade, economic status and level of mother`s education. However, it was significantly different higher among those girls having no older sisters(p<0.01), among those girls having very much interest of overall health(p<0.05) and the highest among those girls who obtain information about skin care management through the mass media(p<0.01). The average score on the attitude toward skin care management was 4.02 points(out of 11 points). It was significantly higher among those girls having no older sisters(p<0.01), among those girls whose mother`s level of education was high school(p<0.01), among those girls who had more than 60,000 won of monthly allowance(p<0.01) and among those girls who were interested in health(p<0.01). The average score of practice on skin care management was 2.98 points(out of 12 points). It was significantly higher among those girls from well-to-do families(p<0.05), among those girls having no older sisters(p<0.01), among those girls who were thought to be health(p<0.01), among those girls who were more interested in health(p<0.01), among those girls who were satisfied with external aspect and skin condition(p<0.01), and the highest among those girls who obtain skin care information from dermatology clinics and private skin care clinics(p<0.01). In conclusion, the levels of knowledge, attitude, and actual skin care were high among those girls having no older sisters, and among those girls who were interested in health. Therefore, it is suggested that education of skin health is needed with health education at school. Since there were many subjects who obtained information about skin care management through the mass media, education of skin health is needed at school to deliver correct skin care information and to let the students practice proper skin care.
