본 연구는 건강신념모형의 주요 변수와 고지혈증 환자의 건강행태와의 관계를 파악하여 고지혈증 환자의 건강행태를 촉진하고 더 나아가 만성질환 보건사업 및 교육프로그램을 계획하는데 기초 자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 자료는 2009년 07월부터 2010년 9월까지 총콜레스테롤이 240mg/dl 이상이고, 중성지방이 200mg/dl 이상으로 고지혈증을 진단받은 20세 이상의 성인 남녀 146명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였으며, SPSS WIN(14.0 한글판) 프로그램을 이용하여 Chronbach's alpha의 신뢰성 분석, 요인분석, 단변량 및 다변량 분석을 시행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 본 연구에서는 LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, TG에 대한 인지수준 중 TG에 대한 인지가 가장 높았고, 3가지 모두를 인지한 경우는 28.08%였다. 또한 9가지 항목에 대한 고지혈증 지식수준은 9점 만점에 평균 6.51이었으며, 지식수준이 높을수록 건강행태수준도 높았다. 둘째, 요인분석을 통하여 10개의 건강행태를 2개 요인으로 재분류 하였다. 그 결과, 건강행태 요인 1은 '식이, 운동 습관 및 고지혈증 검사 및 관련 검사요인', 건강행태 요인 2는 '흡연, 음주 습관 및 고지혈증 치료 관련 요인'이었다. 건강행태 요인1에 유의한 관련성이 있는 건강신념변수는 심각성, 이득, 장애로 나타났고, 취약성은 상관 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 각 신념 요인들과 건강행태 간의 상관되는 순서는 이득(r =.455), 심각성 (r=.38), 장애(r=-.244) 순으로 나타나 고지혈증에 대한 이득 인식이 건강행태 요인1과 가장 관련성이 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나, 건강행태 요인2는 건강신념변수와 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 행동계기에 따른 건강행태의 관계를 살펴보면, 교육을 받았을 때 건강행태 요인1과 요인2에 모두 유의한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타나, 교육이 고지혈증 환자의 건강행태에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 보여 주었다. 넷째, 다중회귀분석 결과 고지혈증 건강행태 요인1에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 유의한 요인으로 인지된 심각성 및 이점 신념요인, 교육여부, 보건소 교육정도 이었다. 건강행태 요인2에서는 성별, 연령, 교육여부가 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 건강신념모형이 고지혈증 건강행태를 예측하는데 적합한 모형이라고 판단 할 수 있으며, 건강행태 요인 특성에 따라 건강신념변수 중 고지혈증 예방에 대한 이득을 높이 인식할 수 있도록 프로그램과 교육목표를 설정하면 보다 효과적인 교육이 될 것이라 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing health related quality of life(HRQOL) in patients with hypertension. Methods: This study carried out secondary analysis using the data from the $5^{th}$ Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subject samples who were selected are 1,240 hypertension patients. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, traditional classic regression, and quantile regression. Results: Restriction of activity, depressive mood, and subjective health status had only significant effects on HRQOL(p<.001). After quantile regression, depressive mood and subjective health status had only significant at 20%(p<.001), 40%(p<.001), and 60%(p<.01) of HRQOL. Perceived stress(p<.001) and regular exercise(p<.01) had only significant at 20% of HRQOL. Current drinking status had only significant at 20%(p<.001) and 80%(p<.01) of HRQOL. Conclusions: Quantile regression maybe a better statistical tool in understanding the heterogeneous effect of hypertension patient's HRQOL as health outcome. Therefore interventions are needed for patients with hypertension to manage each of the factors affecting the patient's perceived health status by each quantile.

This study was aimed to identify factors affecting the health related quality of life in elderly according to living type. This study used data from the 7th-3 Period Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The health related quality of life of living-alone elderly was lower than that of living-together elderly. The significant predictors of health related quality of life of living-alone elderly were depression, subjective health status, age, stress. The significant predictors of health related quality of life of living-together elderly were depression, subjective health status, age, gender. injury, stress. These results suggested that the living type affect the health related quality of life. The influencing factors should be reflected in the relevant program development.

This study examined the factors affecting abdominal obesity by sex among the Korean elderly focusing on health and health behavior related factors. The data utilized in this study were derived from the Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI-3) conducted from January to December 2015 by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The subjects of this study were 599 men and 793 women over the age of 65 for whom their waist circumference was known. The data were analyzed by a complex sampling design method applying weights using the SPSS 23.0 program. Korean elderly showed significant differences in demographic factors, health-related factors, and health behaviors according to gender. The abdominal obesity rate of elderly males was 38.3%, while that of elderly females was 50.5%. Among the factors related to health and health behavior, frequency of binge drinking among elderly male and subjective health status of elderly females were significant factors influencing abdominal obesity. Therefore, programs for abdominal obesity management of elderly Koreans should be planned with consideration of differences in health related factors and health behavior and influencing factors by sex.

The main purposes of the study were to identify factors affecting health-related quality of life of elderly stroke survivors, and to suggest social work interventions for improving their quality of life. The participants were 328 elderly stroke survivors over 55 years old recruited from 18 long-term care hospitals and 13 nursing care facilities in Chung-Nam Province, Korea. The data was collected through a direct survey method from Dec. 16, 2008 to Jan. 17, 2009. Statistical analysis revealed that the overall health-related quality of life among participants was relatively low, especially in the social relationships domain. As a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, depression emerged as the most significant predictor of elderly stroke survivors' health-related quality of life, followed by financial burden in future, activities of daily living, acceptance of disability, comorbidity, and major financial supporter(spouse). Health-related quality of life of elderly stroke survivors in long-term care facilities was affected by a variety of variables from disease-related factors to environmental ones. Particularly psychosocial variables were the most powerful factors to predict HRQOL of elderly stroke survivors. Based on the results, social work implications were discussed in the context of developing clinical strategies to alleviate elderly stroke survivors' health-related quality of life in long-term care facilities. Living with chronic illness and disability is a great challenge to the elderly. Most of all long-term residence in care facilities can cause deterioration of quality of life in old age. From now on, studies on health-related quality of life of elderly with chronic illness and disability should be activated in social work field.

The purpose of this study is to compare factors influencing the quality of life of osteoarthritis patients in urban and rural areas. The data were derived from the sixth Korea national health and nutrition examination survey in 2014 and analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 21.0 software package considering complex samples analysis. The subjects of study were 599 adults with osteoarthritis over 50 years. The results of the study show that the factors affecting the urban patients' quality of life are healthcare coverage types, knee joint pain, knee ankylosis, hip joint pain, low back pain, limited activities, and subjective health status. The rural patients' quality of life are influenced by knee joint pain, limited activities, and alcohol consumptions. Therefore, the government should create differentiating strategies and approaches, including community rehabilitation programs, to improve the quality of life of urban and rural patients with osteoarthritis.
