Abstract
This study was attempted to identify factors related to the health habit practice in stroke patients of some area. Data was surveyed using interview and questionnaires by 142 stroke patients who visited a general hospital which was located in Seoul from May 3 to June 3, 2010. The results were as follows ; First, there was significantly negative correlation between health information and unpredictability(r=-0.264, p<0.01), and positive correlation between uncertainty and stress(r=0.582, p<0.01). Secondly, as a result of multiple regression analysis,, health habit practice of stroke patients was significantly influenced by age($R^2$=0.62, p=0.000), unpredictability($R^2$=0.096, p=0.006), health information($R^2$=0.055, p=0.005), sex($R^2$=0.068, p=0.003), the usage of stroke therapy($R^2$=0.041, p=0.017). In conclusion, strategies for enhancing health information and reducing uncertainty are needed to promote health habit practice in patients with stroke.
본 연구는 일부지역 뇌혈관질환 환자들의 건강습관 실천과 관련된 요인을 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 2010년 5월 3일부터 6월 3일까지 서울에 소재한 종합병원에 내원한 뇌혈관질환 환자 142명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사를 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 뇌혈관질환 환자는 건강정보는 불예측성과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였고 (r=-0.264, p<0.01), 불예측성과 스트레스는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다(r=0.582, p<0.01). 둘째, 다중회귀분석 결과, 뇌혈관질환 환자의 건강습관 실천의 영향요인은 연령($R^2$=0.62, p=0.000), 불예측성($R^2$=0.096, p=0.006), 건강정보($R^2$=0.055, p=0.005), 성별($R^2$=0.068, p=0.003), 약물 복용여부($R^2$=0.041, p=0.017)인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 뇌혈관질환 환자들의 건강습관 실천을 증진시키기 위해서는 건강정보를 높이고 불확실성을 낮춰 줄 수 있는 의학 중재가 필요하다.
