Abstract

This study was attempted to identify the effect of thyroid cancer on ultrasonographic intention. Data was surveyed using interview and questionnaires by 205 subjects in a general hospital who was located in Seoul from December 13, 2010 to January 31, 2011. The results were as follows ; First, in the good self-conscious health status, 85.5% of the subjects had an intention for thyroid cancer ultrasonography according health habit was significantly higher than 70.0% of the subjects didn't have an intention for thyroid cancer ultrasonography($X^2$=6.73 p<.01). Secondly, the odds ratio of subjects with a good self-conscious health status was 2.53, had a higher intention to participate in thyroid ultrasonography than subjects with a poor self-conscious health status(95% Cl=1.39-12.7). In conclusion, we need to provide education to subjects in poorer health so that they will also participate in thyroid cancer ultrasonography. Active promotion should also be performed to elevate knowledge about the prevention of thyroid cancer.

본 연구는 갑상선암 초음파검사이행 의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하기 위해 시도하였다. 자료는 2010년 12월 13일부터 2011년 1월 31일까지 서울에 소재한 한 종합병원에 내원한 검진자 205명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사로 도출하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 건강습관에 따른 갑상선암 초음파검사이행 의도는 본인의 건강이 양호하다는 경우 수검의도가 있는 응답자가 85.5%로 수검의도가 없는 응답자의 70.0%보다 유의하게 높았다($X^2$=6.73 p<.01). 둘째 갑상선암 초음파검사이행 의도의 영향요인은 본인이 건강하다는 사람이 그렇지 않은 사람에 비해 2.53배 수검의도가 유의하게 높았다(95% Cl=1.39-12.7). 결론적으로 건강행태를 실천하지 않는 사람들의 갑상선암 초음파검사이행 의도를 높이기 위한 교육적 접근이 필요하다. 갑상선암 예방에 대한 지식을 높일 수 있는 적극적인 홍보도 수행되어야 할 것이다.
