초록

목적: 본 연구는 저소득층 분류에 따른 학동기 아동의 굴절력을 분석하였다. 방법: 영천지역 17개 초등학교 저소득층 112명과 보건복지부 산하 질병관리본부에서 시행한 2010 국민건강영양조사 자료의 -6.00 D 이하의 중등도 근시자 중 저소득층 아동을 대상으로 굴절력을 비교 분석하였으며, 설문을 통해 저소득층 단계에 따른 시력 분석과 만족도를 알아보았다. 결과: 전국 소득 최하위군 아동의 우안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.99 D, 좌안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.81 D, 전국 소득 최상위군 아동의 우안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.26 D, 좌안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.21 D, 영천지역 저소득층 가정의 아동 우안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.85 D, 좌안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.81 D로 조사되었다. 고아의 우안 등가구면 굴절력은 -2.75 D, 좌안 등가구면 굴절력은 -2.42 D, 한부모가정 아동의 우안 등가구면 굴절력은 -2.10 D, 좌안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.96 D, 두 부모가 모두 있는 가정의 아동 우안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.75 D, 좌안 등가구면 굴절력은 -1.73 D로 조사되었다. 결론: 학동기 아동의 시력에 대한 관심 부족은 근시유발의 한 요인으로 이어질 수 있으며, 이 시기의 부모와 선생님의 역할은 매우 크다. 그러나 저소득층은 부모의 역할이 제한적이므로 시력관리의 사각지대에 위치한 저소득층 아동의 시력 저하를 방지하기 위한 제도적 장치와 사회적 관심이 더욱 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: In this study, we analyzed refractive power of school children in low income family. Methods: We have done a comparative analysis with 112 subjects of low-income of 17 elementary schools in the Yeongcheon area and low-income children less than -6 D of refractive errors from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Report 2010. Results: Spherical equivalent (SE) with low-income group of nation was -1.99 D for right eye and -1.81 D for left eye, while high income group of nation showed -1.26 D and -1.21 D for right eye and left eye respectively. The SE with low income group in Yeongcheon area was -1.85 D for right eye and -1.81 D for left eye. The SE with orphan was -2.75 D and -2.42 D. Single parent family was -2.10 D and -1.96 D, and two parent family was -1.75 D and -1.73. Conclusions: The lack of attention to children eye care may be one of cause for myopia, so the role of the parents and teacher is very important. However, limited role of parents to children due to low income, it is necessary to provide an institutional strategy and social interest to prevent children vision' in low income family.
