Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if a geriatric injury would have a statistically significant relationship with the spatial safety within a specific region. To achieve the objectives of this study, an independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were performed to verify difference in mean value of regional safety grade, depending on the injury intentionality, injury location, activities at the time of injury, and injury mechanism, in 6,572 geriatric injury patients by combining the National Hospital Discharge Patients Injury Survey data and regional safety index data. The results of statistical validation suggested that there was no difference in the mean value of regional safety grade by sub-group with respect to the injury intentionality. However, a statistically significant difference was observed in terms of the mean value of regional safety grade in each sub-group with regard to the injury location, activities at the time of injury, and injury mechanism in connection with some areas of the regional safety index. Based on the results of such analysis, we derived and presented 3 implications related to policies and practice for the prevention of geriatric injury and a reduction of its occurrence rate in light of spatial safety after a discussion of the results through a comparison with previous studies that examined individual areas.

본 연구는 노인 손상의 발생이 특정 지역 내 공간의 안전성과 통계적으로 유의한 관계에 있는지를 실증하는 데 목적이 있다. 이러한 연구 목적 수행을 위해 퇴원손상심층조사와 지역안전지수 자료를 결합해 6,572명의 노인 손상환자를 대상으로 손상의도성, 손상발생장소, 손상 시 활동, 손상기전에 따라 지역안전등급의 평균 차이가 있는지를 독립표본 t-검정과 일원배치 분산분석을 통해 검증하였다. 통계 검증 결과 손상의도성의 하위집단별 지역안전등급의 평균 차이는 유의하지 않았으나, 손상발생장소는 화재(t=-2.513, p<.05), 교통(t=-2.387, p<.05), 안전사고(t=-3.627, p<.001), 자살(t=-3.364, p<.01)의 4개 분야에서 집단 간 평균 차이가 있었다. 손상 시 활동은 화재(F=5.972, p<.01), 자연재해(F=6.454, p<.01), 안전사고(F=11.726, p<.001)의 3개 분야에서 집단 간 평균 차이가 있었다. 손상기전은 화재(F=9.267, p<.001), 교통(F=7.759, p<.001), 안전사고(F=3.285, p<.05), 자살(F=8.973, p<.001), 감염병(F=3.109, p<.05)의 5개 분야에서 집단 간 평균 차이가 있었다. 이러한 분석 결과를 토대로 지역안전지수의 개별 분야를 연구 소재로 삼은 선행연구의 보고 내용과 비교해 논의한 후 공간의 안전성 차원에서 노인 손상의 발생을 사전에 예방하고 발생률을 억제하기 위한 3가지의 정책적 실천적 함의를 도출해 제시하였다.
