Abstract

This descriptive research investigates the knowledge of and attitude toward HIV/AIDS among individuals in their 20s to 40s. This study also analyzes the results of the 2011 and 2013 community health surveys to identify the factors influencing their knowledge and attitude. The study subjects were 20 to 49 years old, and the final analysis included 182,315 subjects. The collected data were analyzed through t-tests, ANOVA, correlational analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The survey results showed a high level of knowledge of HIV/AIDS, with 69.4% correct answers. Most individuals lacked knowledge regarding routes of infection, and those in their 20s had the lowest percentage of correct answers. As for attitude toward HIV/AIDS, 44.3% showed a negative attitude. The scores for knowledge and attitude toward HIV/AIDS were higher among males, unmarried individuals, individuals with a higher income, individuals with a higher level of education, individuals working in agriculture, forestry, or fishery, managers, professions that were not homemakers/unemployed, and professional soldiers. A positive correlation (r=0.27, p<0.001) was observed between knowledge and attitude. The factors influencing AIDS knowledge and attitude were gender, marital status, income level, occupation, and education level. This study confirmed that there is a difference by age group. As such, educational programs customized by age and other characteristics are expected to be more effective in enhancing knowledge and in developing a more positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS.

본 연구는 20-40대 HIV/AIDS의 지식 및 태도를 확인하고, 지식과 태도에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하기 위해 2011년, 2013년 지역사회건강조사 자료를 활용한 2차 자료 분석 연구이다. 연구대상자는 만 20세부터 만 49세로, 최종 분석 대상자는 182,315명이다. 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA, 상관관계분석, 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, HIV/AIDS의 지식은 정답률 69.4%로 높은 지식수준을 보이나, 개별 문항에서 감염경로에 대한 지식이 부족하며, 20대가 가장 낮은 정답율을 보였다. HIV/AIDS의 태도율은 44.3%로 부정적 태도수준을 나타났다. HIV/AIDS 지식 및 태도는 남성일수록, 미혼일수록, 소득이 높을수록 교육 수준이 높을수록, 직업이 농림어업, 주부/무직보다 관리자 및 전문가, 직업군인일수록 지식 및 태도의 점수가 높았다. 지식과 태도 사이에 양의 상관관계(r=0.27, p<.001)를 보였다. 에이즈 관련 지식 및 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로, 연령, 결혼상태, 소득수준, 직업, 교육수준이 있었으며 연령별로 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서, HIV/AIDS 지식수준 향상과 긍정적인 태도 구축을 위해서 일률적이고 획일적인 교육보다는 연령 및 특성별 맞춤형 교육프로그램이 필요하다.
