As the importance of safety during sports activities continues to gain emphasis socially, the interest in creating a culture of safety and safety education to support this is also increasing. However, no study has examined the willingness of adolescents to complete safety education voluntarily. To identify methods of building a culture of sports safety among adolescents, this study investigated the structural relationship among three related variables: sports activity habits, intention to complete safety education, and sports safety awareness of Korean adolescents.
Data on 3928 adolescents aged 13-18 years old from the 2019 Sports Safety Accident Survey conducted by the Korea Sports Safety Foundation were analyzed. This encompassed frequency analysis, scale reliability, validity verification, descriptive statistics analysis, path analysis, and mediating effect verification.
The results indicated that sports activity habits among these adolescents had a positive effect on their sports safety awareness and on their intention to complete safety education; further, their sports safety awareness had a positive effect on their intention to complete safety education. The results also showed that sports safety awareness had a partial mediating effect between sports activity habits and intention to complete safety education. The willingness of adolescents to voluntarily complete safety education is particularly important, as adolescence is a critical period when lifelong safety habits can be formed.
Based on the results, discussions on creating safe sports activity habits for adolescents and continuous education on sports safety awareness are needed. Ultimately, we need to improve sports safety awareness by paying attention to the development and implementation of sports safety education programs for adolescents as a national policy and, through this, increase their willingness to complete safety education.
随着体育活动安全在社会上的重要性不断得到强调，创建支持这一点的安全文化和安全教育的兴趣也在增加。然而，尚无研究考察青少年自愿完成安全教育的意愿。为了确定在青少年中建立体育安全文化的方法，本研究调查了三个相关变量之间的结构关系：韩国青少年的体育活动习惯、完成安全教育的意愿和体育安全意识。
对韩国体育安全基金会2019年进行的体育安全事故调查中3928名13 - 18岁青少年的数据进行了分析。这包括频率分析、量表信度、效度验证、描述性统计分析、路径分析和中介效应验证。
结果表明，这些青少年的体育活动习惯对他们的体育安全意识和完成安全教育的意愿有积极影响；此外，他们的体育安全意识对他们完成安全教育的意愿有积极影响。结果还表明，体育安全意识在体育活动习惯和完成安全教育的意愿之间具有部分中介作用。青少年自愿完成安全教育的意愿尤为重要，因为青春期是可以形成终身安全习惯的关键时期。
基于这些结果，需要讨论为青少年创造安全的体育活动习惯以及持续开展体育安全意识教育。最终，我们需要作为一项国家政策关注青少年体育安全教育计划的制定和实施，以此提高体育安全意识，并通过这一点提高他们完成安全教育的意愿。
