Abstract

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effects of a health education program for the aged on knowledge about the warning signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Methods: Data from 337 elderly people (159 participated and 178 non-participated) at senior centers in Jeju-si were collected by 1 to 1 interview from January to March 2012, one year after the education program provided. Two stages of study were performed: Cross-sectional, case-control study on the level of knowledge about the warning signs and symptoms; and multivariate logistic regression to fine out predictors of optimal awareness. Results: No significant discrepancy of knowledge level between case and control group was found. The knowledge level as high as a surge was shown in both groups one year later. A surge of knowledge had been shown after the education provided in one month. The factors affecting the optimal level of knowledge were education (Odds ratio 3.01; Confidence Interval 1.72-5.26; P-value <0.001) and 7 days of watching TV news per week (2.97; 1.68-5.23; P<0.001). However, participation in the health education was not significant (1.60; 0.98-2.61; P=0.059). Conclusions: The effects of a targeted program in high-risk groups for cardio-cerebrovascular disease are only guaranteed in the enhancement by a population-based mass-media education campaign.

본 연구는 급성 심근경색과 뇌졸중의 고위험군인 노인들을 위하여 마련된 일개 권역심뇌혈관질환센터의 경로당노인 교육프로그램이 급성 심근경색과 뇌졸중 경고증상에 대한 지식수준을 높이는 데에 효과가 있었는지 교육프로그램 수행 1년이 경과시점에서 평가하였다. 2012년 제주특별자치도 제주시의 11개 경로당에서 337명을 편의표집 하였는데, 과거 2010년 해당 경로당에서 진행된 교육프로그램에 참여했었던 159명은 실험군으로 하였고, 교육에 참여하지 않은 178명은 대조군으로 하였다. 경고증상을 정확히 알고 있는지를 알아보고자 두 가지 질환 각각 3개 문항씩 총 6문항에 대하여 질환 별 증상이 맞는다고 생각하는지를 폐쇄형 질문으로 물어 명목형(정확한 인지 여부)으로 구분하였으며 빈도(백분율)로 나타내었다. 참여군과 비참여군 간에 경고증상에 대한 지식수준은 유의한 차이를 나타나지 않았고, 급성 심근경색과 뇌졸중 경고증상에 대한 지식이 최고 수준인 것(우수 인지수준, 경고증상 여섯 개 모두를 정확히 인지)과 경로당노인 교육프로그램 참여여부가 관련이 없는 것으로 나타나 교육 효과는 확인할 수 없었다. 다만 우수 인지수준이 될 오즈값은 교육수준이 초등학교 졸업 이상일 경우 초등학교 미졸업(무학 및 서당)에 대해서 3.01배 높았고(3.01; 1.72-5.26), 매일 빠지지 않고 TV뉴스를 시청할 경우 6일 이하로 시청하는 것에 대해서 2.97배 높게 나타났으며(2.97; 1.68-5.23), 이들은 통계적으로 유의하였다. 참여군에서 교육 참여 이후 높아진 지식수준이 교육 후 1년 시점까지 통계적으로 유의한 차이 없이 유지되었던 것과 비참여군에서 지식수준이 참여군 만큼 높은 수준이었던 것은 교육참여와 상관없는 어떠한 교육중재적 요인을 공유하고 있음을 시사하였다. 결론적으로 심뇌혈관질환의 고위험군인 노인을 표적 선택하여 실시하는 일회적 지역사회 방문교육 대신 대중매체를 활용한 반복적 지식 전달이 효과 있음을 알 수 있었다. 일회적 지역사회 방문교육의 효과는 지역사회 노인 전체를 대상으로 하는 대중매체 보건교육 캠페인이 잇달아 수반되어야만 그 효과를 장기적으로 유지할 수 있다.
