The unprecedented pandemic caused by the COVID-19 has led to a massive global public health campaign to slow the spread of the virus. Thus, this study examines the importance of individual's prevention behavior intention by adapting health belief model(HBM). In addition, we added social variables to understand the prevention behavior better considering the situation in which collective behaviors are important. The online survey results(N=298) showed that higher level of perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived peril, perceived social norms and lower level of perceived responsibility led to higher prevention behavior intention. Peril was the most influential factor among all the variables. In addition, perceived severity and social norms followed after that. Additional analysis also implied that socio-HBM model we proposed better explained the prevention behavior intention than traditional HBM.

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.
