Development of Customized Hygiene Management Manual for Bucheon Children Meal Supply Organization and Evaluation of Effects

Abstract

This study developed Bucheon customized children meal hygiene central control point (CCP) to promote practical hygiene and safety management in a children meal supply organization in Bucheon. Education was administered to 54 organizations using the developed CCP, and the study evaluated kitchen hygiene management improvement effects. When the effects of hygiene education in eight categories (CCP 1∼8) were examined, total scores increased by 9.31 from 22.36±5.039 before education to 31.67±3.262 with a statistically significant difference (p＜0.001). After CCP education, personal hygiene management, food material management, cooking management, serving management, facility and equipment management improved significantly. The result demonstrates that CCP education was effective for kitchen hygiene management. Using CCP education, overall CCP education items were significantly improved, but there was almost no significant increase in the non-relevant item of CCP education. As there was an average difference in the non-relevant item of CCP education after follow-up evaluation, CCP education had an overall effect on hygiene and safety improvement. Based on the above result, the effect could be potentiated if CCP is complemented, if a systematic hygiene management manual is developed for the nationwide children meal supply organization, and if CCP education media is continually developed along with education.
