Abstract

This study is a narrative research study to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and preventive behaviors of middle-aged adults with dementia and to identify related factors. The study subjects were a total of 230 middle-aged adults living in K and P cities, and data were collected from March 2018 to July 2019 using a structured questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS / WIN 23.0 program. As a result of the study, the knowledge of dementia was 9.97 out of 15, the attitude of dementia was 47.45 out of 60, and the prevention of dementia was 27.75 out of 36. Knowledge of dementia had a positive correlation with dementia attitude (r=.122, p=.050) and dementia prevention behavior (r=.122, p<.05). Factors affecting dementia prevention behavior include marital status (β=.129, p<.05), education level (β=.219, p<.000), and type of disease (β=-.108, p<.000), presence of religion (β =-. 219, p <.000), interest in dementia (β=.237, p<.000), presence of drinking (β=.317, p<.000), smokingPresence or absence (β=.235, p<.000) and knowledge of dementia β=.316, p<.000) were found to have a significant effect. Therefore, in order to improve dementia prevention behavior of middle-aged adults, it is necessary to develop customized education programs for middle-aged adults to practice knowledge of dementia, positive attitudes, and good lifestyle.

본 연구는 중년기성인의 치매에 대한 지식, 태도 및 예방행위에 대하여 조사하고 관련 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 K시와 P시에 거주하는 중년기성인으로 총230명이며, 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 2019년 3월부터 2019년 7월 까지 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 23.0 프로그램을 이용해 서술적 통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Multiple linear regression analysis로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 치매에 대한 지식은 15점 만점에 9.97점, 치매대한 태도는 60점 만점에 47.45점, 치매예방행위는 36점 만점에 27.75점으로 나타났다. 치매에 대한 지식은 치매에 태도(r=.122, p=.050)와 치매 예방행위(r=.122, p<.05)는 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 치매예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 결혼상태(β=.129, p<.05), 교육정도(β=.219, p<.000), 질병의 종류(β=-.108, p<.000), 종교의 유무(β=-.219, p<.000), 치매에 대한 관심(β=.237, p<.000), 음주유무(β=.317, p<.000), 흡연유무(β=.235, p<.000), 치매에 대한 지식(β=.316, p<.000)이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중년기성인의 치매예방행위를 향상시키기 위해서는 치매에 대한 지식, 긍정적인 태도 및 좋은생활습관을 실천하기 위한 중년기성인에 맞춤형 교육프로그램의 개발이 요구된다.
