Abstract

This study aimed to identify the moderating effect of public health service utilization rate between public health resources and community mental health. The subjects included 144 local communities, from the data of 6th Community Health Plan and the 2015 Community Health Survey. Public health resources were measured by public health budget, public mental health budget and public mental health personnel; and mental health was measured by rate of perceived stress, rate of depressive mood and suicide rate. The hierarchical regression analysis was used to identify the moderating effects. The results were as followed. First, the effect of public mental health budget on rate of depressive mood was moderated by public health service utilization rate. Second, the effect of public mental health personnel on rate of depressive mood was moderated by public health service utilization rate. Third, the effect of public mental health personnel on suicide rate was also moderated by public health service utilization rate. Fourth, the effect of public health resources on mental health differed between the groups with high and low public health service utilization rate. In improving community mental health, the measures to improve the public health service utilization rate should be considered to ensure that reinforcing public health resources leads to the improvement of community mental health.

본 연구는 공공보건자원이 지역사회의 정신건강수준에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 공공보건서비스 이용률이 조절 역할을 하는 지를 확인하고자 수행되었다. 연구대상은 144개의 지역사회이며, 자료는 제6기 지역보건의료계획과 2015년 지역사회 건강조사에서 확보하였다. 연구변수 중 공공보건자원은 공공보건예산, 공공정신보건예산 및 공공정신보건인력으로 구성하였으며, 정신건강수준은 스트레스 인지율, 우울감 경험률 및 자살률로 하였다. 조절효과 분석에 사용된 방법은 위계적 회귀분석이었다. 연구결과는 첫째, 공공보건서비스 이용률은 공공정신보건예산이 우울감 경험률에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 조절변수로 작용하고 있었다. 둘째, 공공정신보건인력이 우울감 경험률에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 공공보건서비스 이용률은 조절효과를 나타냈다. 셋째, 공공정신보건인력이 자살률에 영향을 미치는 과정에서도 공공보건서비스 이용률은 조절효과를 나타냈다. 넷째, 공공보건자원의 정신건강수준에 대한 영향이 공공보건서비스 이용률이 높은 집단과 낮은 집단에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 결론적으로 공공보건자원 강화가 지역사회 정신건강수준의 향상으로 이어지도록 하기 위해 지역사회 정신건강증진 방안에 공공보건서비스 이용률 개선을 위한 내용을 포함시킬 필요가 있을 것이다.
