Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the health behaviors of North Korean refugee women according to their health cognition level. The tools were selected through focus group interviews of researchers and respondents to carry out the purpose of the study while being as brief as possible, and to secure content validity by the expert group. Based on this, the health cognition level was divided into three stages and organized into groups, and health behavior was composed of nutrition, exercise, and sleep as three factors to help actual behavior change. For data analysis, one-way ANOVA was used to compare health behaviors according to each health cognition level, and the following conclusions were obtained. First, there was a significant difference in nutrition and sleep of health behavior according to the level of physical health awareness, but there was no significant difference in exercise. Second, there were significant differences in nutrition, exercise, and sleep of health behavior according to psychological health cognitive level. Third, there was a significant difference in nutrition and sleep of health behavior according to social health cognitive level, and there was no significant difference in exercise.

본 연구는 북한이탈여성의 건강인지 수준에 따른 건강행동에 대한 비교를 목적으로 진행하였다. 검사 도구는 최대한 간략하면서도 연구의 목적을 수행할 수 있도록 연구자와 응답자의 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 통해 선정하였으며, 전문가 집단에 의한 내용적 타당도를 확보하고자 하였다. 이를 바탕으로 건강인지 수준을 3단계 구분하여 집단을 구성하였으며, 건강행동은 3가지 요인으로 영양, 운동, 수면으로 구성하였다. 자료 분석은 각 건강인지 수준에 따른 건강행동을 비교하기 위해 one-way ANOVA로 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 건강인지 중 신체적 수준에 따른 건강행동의 영양, 수면에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 운동에서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 둘째, 건강인지 중 심리적 수준에 따른 건강행동의 영양, 운동, 수면에서 모두 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 건강인지 중 사회적 수준에 따른 건강행동의 영양, 수면에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 운동에서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다.
