Abstract

Objectives: We identified factors associated with any participation and with "good participation" (as assessed by frequency of attendance) in health promotion programs at a public health center in Korea. Methods: The subjects included 199 women who attended a baseline examination of health promotion programs during the first half of 2009. We collected data by structured interviews and physical examinations. Participation status was quantified by the frequency of attendance to the program. We classified the subjects as non-participants (0) and participants (1+ times), and as poor participants (0-29 times) and good participants (30+ times). Results: Of the 199 subjects, there were 57 (28.6%) non-participants, while 56 (28.1%) were classified as good participants. The factors that significantly affected participation status, as identified by univariate analysis, were personal factors (age, educational level, marital status, religion, living with someone, monthly income), environmental factors (method of access, accessibility of other facilities), body mass index, hypertension, perceived barriers to health, emotional salience, affectionate domain of social support, and depression. Multiple logistic regression analyses indicated that method of access was the most significant factor affecting participation in the health promotion program, and that the factors most highly associated with good participation were emotional salience, hypertension and body mass index. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that specific factors determine and enhance participation in health promotion programs offered by public health centers. These factors should be considered during the design and evaluation of health promotion programs that are offered by public health centers.

본 연구는 지역 주민을 대상으로 하여 보건소에서 시행하는 건강증진 프로그램 참여와 관련된 요인을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 대상은 2009년 상반기에 시행된 일개 보건소의 지역특화 건강증진 프로그램에 신청하여 기초 조사를 받은 여자 199명을 대상으로 하였으며, 이들의 건강증진 프로그램의 출석 횟수를 파악하여 참여 정도를 분류하였다. 출석 횟수에 근거하여 총 36회의 프로그램 기간 동안 전혀 참여하지 않은 비참여군과 1회 이상 출석한 참여군, 30회 미만 출석한 참여 실패군과, 30회 이상 출석한 참여 성공군등으로 분류하여 건강증진 프로그램의 참여여부와 참여 성공과 관련된 특성을 파악하였다. 건강증진 프로그램 신청자의 참여 정도를 보면, 비참여군은 28.6%이었고, 1회 이상 참여한 경우는 71.4%, 이중 30회 이상 성공적으로 참여한 경우가 28.1%였다. 보건소 시행 건강증진 프로그램참여 여부와 관련이 있었던 특성은 연령, 배우자 유무, 교육수준, 독거 여부, 월평균 소득, 프로그램장소로의 접근 방법과 동반 참여자, 평소 운동시설에의 접근성, 만성질환 이환여부와 건강생활에 대한 인지된 장애와 호감도 등이었다. 다중로지스틱 회귀분석 시행결과 건강증진 프로그램 참여 여부와는 프로그램 시행 장소로 접근 방법이 다른 교통수단을 이용한 것에 비해 도보로 접근하는 경우 교차비(95% 신뢰구간)가 4.72(1.80-12.36)로 통계적으로 유의하였고, 프로그램의 참여 성공과 관련된 특성으로는 건강생활에 대한 호감도의 교차비(95% 신뢰구간)는 1.26(1.01-1.57), 고혈압 이환 여부는 2.37(1.03-5.44), 체질량지수는 1.18(1.03-1.35)등이었다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 지역 주민이 보건소에서 제공하는 건강증진 프로그램에 참여를 결정하는 데는 프로그램이 진행되는 장소에서의 접근 방법이, 성공적으로 참여하는 데는 대상자의 건강상태와 건강생활에 대한 인식 등이 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 향후 보건소에서 시행하는 건강증진 프로그램을 진행하는데 있어서 참여자 관리 및 새로운 프로그램의 개설 등에 활용할 수 있을 것이고, 또한 향후 프로그램이 구성과 내용에 관한 정보를 고려하여 주민의 건강증진 프로그램 참여를 높일 수 있는 다양한 연구의 진행이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
