Abstract

The purpose of this study was a descriptive research that identified the levels of health-promoting behaviors, previous related behavior, perceived benefits/barriers, self-efficacy, and social support. In addition, it was to establish the relations among the variables, and determine the factors affecting the health-promoting behaviors. Study participants were 311 middle aged between 55-64 in urban areas, and the data were collected through self-reported structured questionnair. According to the results, the mean score for the levels of health-promoting behaviors of the late middle aged was 2.64. Also, among the variables related to health-promoting behaviors, perceived benefits were the highest score (30.7), and perceived barriers were the lowest one (2.08). Meaningful positive correlations were found among health-promoting behaviors and previous related behavior, social support, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy, but perceived barriers showed weakly negative correlations. In addition, the factors affecting health promoting behaviors were revealed in order as following: Previous health related behavior(${\beta}$=.35, p<.001), perceived benefits(${\beta}$=.32, p<.001), social support(${\beta}$=.28, p<.001), and life satisfaction(${\beta}$=.13, p<.001), and this model's explanatory power was 68.8%(F=166.71, p<.001). Based on the findings from the study, in order for the late middle aged to have a well-being old age, an health promoting education program including exercises and stress management should be provided to maintain and improve proper health promoting behaviors. The network with the same age groups also should be supported to share useful information and back up one another.

본 연구는 중년후기 성인의 건강증진행위, 과거 건강관련 행위, 지각된 유익성 및 장애성, 자기효능감, 사회적 지지의 수준을 파악하고, 건강증진행위 및 제 변수들 간의 관련성을 확인하기 위한 목적으로 시도된 서술적 조사 연구이다. 연구대상자는 도시지역에 거주하는 55~64세 중년후기 성인 311명이며, 자료 조사는 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 자가보고식으로 이루어졌다. 연구결과에 따르면, 중년후기 성인의 건강증진행위 수준은 평균 2.64점이며, 건강증진행위 관련 변인 중 지각된 유익성이 3.07점으로 가장 높았고, 지각된 장애성이 2.08점으로 가장 낮았다. 건강증진행위와 관련 변인들간의 관계를 살펴보면, 건강증진행위와 과거 건강관련 행위, 사회적 지지, 지각된 유익성, 자기효능감은 유의한 순상관관계를 보였고, 지각된 장애성은 미약한 역상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 과거 건강관련 행위(${\beta}$=.35, p<.001), 지각된 유익성(${\beta}$=.32, p<.001), 사회적 지지(${\beta}$=.28, p<.001), 생활만족도(${\beta}$=.13, p<.001) 순으로 나타났으며, 전체 모형의 설명력은 68.8%였다(F=166.71, p<.001). 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 중년후기 성인이 건강한 노년기를 보내기 위해서는 운동과 스트레스 관리를 포함한 건강증진 교육프로그램을 제공하고, 동년배간 네트워크를 구축하여 유용한 정보를 공유하며 서로 지지할 수 있도록 지원해야 할 것이다.
