This study aimed to analyze health management awareness among South Korean elementary school students in COVID-19 endemic areas.
Using convenience sampling, 675 South Korean elementary school students (age 11-12 years old) were selected as participants in July 2023. Data for the study were collected via online and offline surveys between July and August 2023. The collected data were subjected to frequency, reliability, and multicollinearity analyses, independent sample -tests, and importance-performance analysis (IPA).
The findings indicated the following: (1) There was no significant difference in health management performance between male and female children. (2) Children who had not experienced COVID-19 infection, had a higher level of "hygiene management" performance. (3) Among children who did not wear masks during physical activity, "mental health management" and "physical activity management" performance were higher, while "hygiene management" performance was lower. (4) The IPA matrix analysis revealed that, compared to the COVID-19 pandemic period, "physical activity management", "dietary habit management", and "sleep management" still required improvement, while "hygiene management" and "disease management" appeared to have decreased due to the relaxation of epidemic control efforts.
As per the study's findings, schools, local communities, and families should make efforts to develop and implement preventive and individualized health management programs that consider the individual characteristics of their children.
本研究旨在分析新冠疫情流行地区韩国小学生的健康管理意识。
采用便利抽样法，于2023年7月选取675名韩国小学生（11 - 12岁）作为研究对象。2023年7月至8月期间通过线上和线下调查收集研究数据。对收集到的数据进行频率、信度和多重共线性分析、独立样本检验以及重要性 - 绩效分析（IPA）。
研究结果表明：（1）男童和女童在健康管理绩效方面无显著差异。（2）未感染过新冠病毒的儿童，其“卫生管理”绩效水平更高。（3）在体育活动期间未佩戴口罩的儿童中，“心理健康管理”和“体育活动管理”绩效较高，而“卫生管理”绩效较低。（4）IPA矩阵分析显示，与新冠疫情期间相比，“体育活动管理”“饮食习惯管理”和“睡眠管理”仍需改进，而“卫生管理”和“疾病管理”似乎因疫情防控措施的放松而有所下降。
根据研究结果，学校、当地社区和家庭应努力制定并实施考虑儿童个体特征的预防性和个性化健康管理计划。
