Abstract |
Purpose This study was conducted in order to survey the needs of health education among Chinese students in Korea. Methods: The subjects of this study were 206 Chinese students in Korea who were attending one of three universities in Chungcheong-do and Seoul. Data were collected from April 1 to October 27, 2011. Results: The subjects' need of health education was 131.53 out of 176. By area, the score was highest in safety accident prevention and emergency care (3.25 out of 4), which was followed by personal hygiene and healthy habits (3.22), family health care management and medical examination (3.15), prevention and management of disease (2.94), environmental health (2.81), moderation in drinking and smoking cessation (2.81), psychiatric and mental health (2.79), and sexual education (2.68). When the need of health education was examined according to the subjects' characteristics, the need of health education was significantly higher in female students. Conclusion: Need of health education among Chinese students studying in Korea was high. To meet Chinese students' need of health education, it is necessary to provide an on-line health education program which is written in bilingual languages (Korean and Chinese) for effective learning. |
