Abstract

The current study aims to examine whether dementia service utilization is associated with cognitive function and whether health literacy moderates the relationship between dementia service utilization and cognitive function. Data were drawn from the 2016 Dementia Literacy Survey collected by K University. The final analytic sample included 522 community-dwelling older Koreans aged 60 to 79. Results from multivariate regression analyses showed that both dementia service use and higher levels of health literacy were related to better cognitive function and that health literacy had significant moderating effects. When older adults used dementia service, those with higher levels of health literacy reported higher levels of cognitive function than those with lower levels of health literacy. Our findings suggest that health literacy plays an important role in determining the cognitive health benefits arising from dementia service utilization.

본 연구는 한국 성인 및 노인들을 대상으로 치매 서비스 이용 여부와 인지기능의 관계를 살펴보고, 건강정보이해능력이 두 변수 간의 관계에서 조절효과를 나타내는지 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 K대학교에서 전국 60~79세 지역사회 거주자를 대상으로 직접면접조사를 통해 수집한 2016년 치매이해능력 설문조사 자료를 활용하였으며, 최종분석대상자로는 522명이 선정되었다. 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 첫째, 치매 서비스 경험이 있는 노인일수록 인지기능이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 건강정보이해능력이 높을수록 인지기능이 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 치매 서비스 경험과 인지기능의 관계에서 건강정보이해능력이 조절효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 건강정보이해능력이 치매서비스 이용에 있어 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 실증적으로 발견하여 고령자의 치매 및 건강 관련 정책에 주요 시사점을 제시한다.
