초록

본 연구의 목적은 중장년층의 치매에 대한 지식, 태도 및 예방행위에 대하여 조사하고 관련 요인을 파악하는 것이다. 연구 대상자는 P시에 거주하는 중장년층 남녀 297명이며, 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였고, SPSS/WIN 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 치매에 대한 지식은 9.0점, 치매에 대한 태도는 2.98점, 치매 예방행위는 2.22점이었다. 치매에 대한 지식은 치매에 대한 예방행위와 치매에 대한 태도에 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 치매 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 흡연, 음주, 치매에 대한 지식, 월수입으로 나타났으며, 이러한 요인들은 치매 예방행위를 39% 설명하였다. 그러므로 중장년층의 치매에 대한 예방행위를 향상시키기 위해서는 금연 및 절주에 대한 교육 및 치매에 대한 지식을 높이기 위해 중장년층을 위한 맞춤형 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
