본 연구의 목적은 무용수들의 섭식장애를 유발시키는 비정상적인 체중조절 방법과 식사습관 등을 한국 무용수(n=192)들과 미국 무용수(n=190)들을 비교 조사 및 분석하여 무용공연 향상과 건강증진에 악영향을 미치는 섭식장애의 원인 규명과 예방책을 위한 자료를 제공하는데 있다. 연구에 사용된 설문지는 Burckes-Millier와 Black(1998)가 개발한 “Eating Patterns of Athletes(EPA)"를 변형하여 사용하였으며 Body Image, Coach/Dancer Communications, Reasons for Participation in Dance, Thoughts about Food and Weight 등의 24개 문항으로 구성하였다. 실험결과의 자료의 SPSS 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 Chi-Squared Test를 적용하여 분석하였으며 이때 유의수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 섭식장애의 문제는 무용수들 특히 한국 여자 무용수들 사이에서 광범위하게 확산되는 경향이 있으며, 그들 중 상당수가 식사제한, 체중감량 및 섭식장애에 관하여 전문적인 도움이 필요하다고 느끼고 있다. 따라서 섭식장애와 관련된 문제들의 위험성을 모든 무용수들과 지도자들에게 각종 연수회나 세미나 등을 통하여 개선하는 제도적인 대책이 시급한 것으로 사료된다.
This study investigated the use of aberrant weight control procedures and eating patterns among 382 dancers(Korean : 192, American : 190). An eating patterns survey(modified Eating Patterns of Athletes) was administered to dancers participating on a variety of team dance with a response rate of 95%. Dancers' perceptions of their weight was almost a mirrored image of their actual weight. Dancers reported that their coaches rarely spoke to them about weight control, in spite of several types of pathogenic weight control methods : Korean(28%) and American(34%) dancers indicated use if at least one pathogenic weight method. The overwhelming reason reported for their dance participation was to have fun(Korean : 71%, American : 54%). Body image and pathogenic weight control methods related to the finding discussed as an exigent problem for the dance community.
