Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the factors related to the cancer preventive behaviors of middle aged women. The data was collected from October $1^{st}$ 2012 to February $10^{th}$ 2013 from 114 middle aged women in four churches in B city. As a result, there were significant differences in the cancer preventive behaviors according to cancer preventive education, concerns about cancer information and the utilization of cancer information. The cancer preventive behaviors were weakly related to the internal health locus of the control, chance health locus of the control and self-esteem. In addition, there was moderate correlation between the cancer preventive behaviors and the external health locus of the control. Meaningful variables that explain the cancer preventive behaviors were the external health locus of the control, self-esteem, cancer preventive education in that order. The total explanation power was 25.3% and the external health locus of the control has most explanation power. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop nursing intervention and health education for middle aged women to raise the internal health locus of the control and self-esteem, and encourage attending cancer preventive education to improve the preventive behaviors against cancer.

본 연구는 중년 여성의 암 예방행위와 관련요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 B광역시의 4개 교회에 출석 중인 중년여성 114명으로, 자료수집기간은 2012년 10월 1일부터 2013년 2월 10일까지였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 암 예방행위 정도는 암 예방교육 경험(t=2.778, p=.006)과 암 정보에 대한 관심(F=4.490, p=.013) 및 암에 관한 정보이용 정도(F=3.568, p=.031)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 암 예방행위 정도는 내적성향 통제위(r=.354, p<.001), 우연성향 통제위(r=.193, p=.040)와 자아존중감(r=.283, p=.002)에서는 약한 정도의, 외적성향 통제위(r=.403, p<.001)에서는 중간 정도의 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 암 예방행위를 설명하는 유의한 변수는 외적성향 통제위, 자아존중감, 암교육 수강 경험 여부의 순이었고, 전체 설명력은 25.3%였으며, 외적성향 통제위가 가장 설명력이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중년여성들의 암 예방행위를 높이기 위해서는 내적통제위와 자아존중감을 높이고 암 교육 수강을 독려하는 간호중재와 보건교육을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.
