○Background: Students are vulnerable to contagious diseases. To prevent these diseases, washing hands is the most effective intervention at the personal level. This study analyzed personal hygiene behaviors using data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS, 2009). ○Methods: The KYRBS was conducted on a nationally representative sample of middle and high school students. 75,066 students in 800 sampled schools completed the anonymous self-administered web-based questionnaire. Data were weighted to provide national estimates using SAS software to account for the complex sampling design. ○Results: The percentage of students who washed hands with only water before having meal at school was 68.0% (95% CI=67.1-68.9) but 77.8% (95% CI=77.3-78.4) at home. Students who washed hands with soap before having meal at school were 56.5% but 72.4% at home. The percentage of students who washed hands with only water at school (92.0%) was higher than at home (88.3%) after using toilet. However students who washed hands with soap at school were 72.3% but 79.1% at home. 38.0% (95% CI=36.5-39.5) brushed teeth after lunch at school. 61.3% regarded bringing toothbrush and toothpaste to school as a trouble, and 8.4% complained to the lack of sink facilities among students who did not brush teeth at school. ○Conclusion: Compared to 2008, because of H1N1, personal hygiene behaviors at school were dramatically promoted. Nevertheless students still had problems and felt inconvenient with using school facilities. As a result, overall personal hygiene behaviors were worse at school than home. Improving facilities, putting soap near sink, and setting toothbrush and toothpaste storage would lead to continuous good personal hygiene behaviors at school. |
