Abstract

It's now time for adopting u-Health according to development of internet. It is judged that it needs to research on effect of using internet health information targeting University students who are the most sensitive of internet health information. So we analyzed effect of using internet health information according to internal and external health control materials with 300 University students. As a result, If a rate of investment to the health is high, an effect of internet health information also increases as B=.004, rate of internal health control is high, it decreases as B=-.027 and rate of external health control is high, it increases as B=.037. For a University student who has steady faith about health and can control their internal health more easily, the effect of using internet health information has decreased. And for a University student who has high inclination of external dependence about health and can control their external health more easily, the effect of using internet health information has increased. So it needs to raise credibility, accuracy and accessibility of internet health information.

인터넷이 발달해가며 u-Health의 도입단계시기에 인터넷 건강정보의 가장 민감한 세대인 대학생들을 대상으로 인터넷 건강정보 이용효과에 관한 연구가 필요하다고 판단되어 대학생 300명을 대상으로 내 외적 건강컨트롤 소재에 따른 인터넷 건강정보 이용효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 인터넷 건강정보의 이용효과가 건강에 대한 투자비용의 비율이 높을수록 B=.004로 증가, 내적 건강컨트롤이 높을수록 B=-.027로 감소, 외적 건강컨트롤이 높을수록 B=.037로 증가하였다. 건강에 대한 신념이 높은 내적 건강컨트롤이 높은 대학생일수록 인터넷 건강정보 이용효과가 감소하였고, 건강에 대해 외부 의존성향이 강한 외적 건강컨트롤이 높은 대학생일수록 인터넷 건강정보 이용효과가 증가하였다. 그러므로 인터넷 건강정보에 대한 신뢰성과 정확성 및 접근성을 높일 필요가 있다.
