Abstract

This study explored relationships between health perception and behavior of Korean relevant to particulate matter(PM) as PM in the atmosphere getting worse. To investigate the relationship in the personal hygiene dimension, we analysed the structural relationships among multi-dimensional health locus of control, perceived susceptibility and severity, and health behavior intention. Except internal among three tendencies of multi-dimensional health locus of control, chance and powerful other had an effect on perceived susceptibility and severity, respectively. Perceived susceptibility and severity also had a positive effect on the intention. Thus, to facilitate PM-related disease prevention, timely and reliable information should be supplied with the solution for lessening damage from PM, and then training for internalizing locus of control should be encouraged through eliminating fear and uncertainty. Finally, we discussed suggestions for future study.

본 연구는 심각해지는 대기 중 미세먼지 현실에 따라 우리나라 사람들의 미세먼지 관련 건강 인식과 행동에 대해 탐색하였다. 개인 위생적 차원에서 미세먼지에 대한 우리나라 사람들의 인식과 건강행동 사이의 관계를 탐색하기 위해 개인의 건강 인식과 관련 있는 다차원 건강통제소재, 질병에 대한 취약성과 심각성 지각 및 건강행동의도 사이의 구조적 관계를 분석하였다. 다차원 건강통제소재의 3가지 성향 중 내적 성향을 제외한 우연성향과 타인의존성향이 취약성과 심각성 지각에 영향을 미치고 있었고, 두 변인은 다시 미세먼지로 인한 질병 예방행동의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이러한 결과에 따라 미세먼지 관련 질병 예방행동을 장려하기 위해 정확한 정보를 시의성 있게 제공하고 피해 최소화를 위한 방안을 제안하여 미세먼지에 대한 막연한 공포감이나 불확실성을 제거하고 이를 통해 내적 통제소재화를 자극할 수 있도록 독려할 필요가 있다. 끝으로 후속연구를 위한 제언을 제안했다.
