Abstract

This study was to explore factors determining school-based student health screening participation. Participants were six health coordinators in West Virginia, the United States. They have responsibilities in the student health screening and conducted a phone interview. The results are as follows. First, opt-in of health screening came from the interest in students' health, peer pressure, and free screening. Second, opt-out of health screening came from the indifference to a school newsletter, anxiety about an information disclosure, and the fear of drawing blood. Third, the advantage of health screening was provided for free. Fourth, the primary decision-maker was parents, but sometimes was children. Fifth, non-family members also influenced on the participation in the health screening. Therefore, a school newsletter, parents and teachers education, and free screening may be required to improve the participation rate.

본 연구는 학교를 기반으로 하는 학생 건강 검진 참여를 결정하는 요인들이 무엇인지를 밝히는 연구이다. 연구대상은 미국 웨스트버지니아주의 건강 관리사 6명이며, 자료 수집은 전화 인터뷰를 활용하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자녀 건강에 대한 관심과 외부적인 압박, 그리고 무료 검진에 의해 동의하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 건강 검진에 대한 지식 부족, 가정 통신문에 대한 무관심, 그리고 자녀의 정보 노출에 대한 불안감, 피를 뽑아야 하는 두려움이 동의를 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 건강 검진의 장점으로 모든 절차가 무료로 진행된다는 점이었다. 넷째, 학부모가 동의를 결정하는 주된 결정권자이지만 때로는 자녀에게 그 결정권이 존재하고 있었다. 다섯째, 학생 주변에 존재하는 교사, 동료학생, 학교 모두 참여를 결정지을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 그러므로 가정 통신문 개선, 학부모 및 교사 교육, 무료 검사가 필요할 것이다.
