  • 오늘날, 온라인 및 오프라인 상에서 무수히 많은 건강정보가 시시각각 쏟아지면서 대중들은 다양한 방법으로 건강에 대한 정보탐색이 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 만 0-3세 건강한 영유아들의 건강정보를 적극적으로 탐색하는 어머니들의 건강정보 탐색행동에 초점을 맞추었다. 24명의 미국인, 한국인, 미국에 거주하는 한인 이민자 어머니들과의 심층인터뷰를 통해, 그들이 아이에 대한 건강정보를 탐색할 때 어떠한 정보원들을 순차적으로 활용하는지 탐색경로를 시각적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 어머니들의 건강정보탐색 경로는 아이의 건강상태에 따라 사용하는 정보원과 탐색주제의 측면에서 눈에 띄는 차이가 나타났다. 예를 들어, 아이가 아플 때는 특정 질병이나 증상에 대한 정보를 중점적으로 먼저 탐색하지만, 아이가 아프지 않을 때는 성장, 발육, 식단, 육아 등 다양한 주제의 정보를 탐색하는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가, 활용되는 정보원과 관련하여, 아이가 아플 때보다 아프지 않을 때 더욱 다양한 건강정보원들(예컨대, 공공도서관, 정부기관, 어린이집 교사 등)이 활용되는 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라, 각 어머니들 그룹에 따라 활용되는 정보원의 차이가 나타났다. 이를 활용하여, 국내외 정보 전문가들은 어떠한 정보서비스를 기획하고 제공할 수 있을지 논의해본다.

  • This study attempted to uncover the characteristics of health information non-seekers among the United States foreign-born population and identify potential predictors of their non-seeking behavior. The trends of foreign-born health information nonseekers over the past twelve years were also examined. Statistical analysis was conducted with two sets of Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) data: HINTS 2 (2005) and HINTS 5 Cycle 1 (2017) datasets. It was found that foreign-born nonseekers differ from foreign-born seekers in terms of a variety of variables including education, income, English proficiency, the uses of Internet and social media, ownership of digital devices, ownership of health insurance, perceived health status, and level of trust in health information sources. Among them, education, Internet use, and trust in online health information were identified as predictors of the foreign-born population's non-seeking of health information. In addition, three variables - race/ethnicity, age, and place of accessing the Internet - which were significant factors in the 2005 dataset, were no longer significant in the 2017 dataset, implying the possible influence of smartphones that reduces Internet accessibility gaps among different racial/ethnic and age groups.

  • 선행연구들은 어머니들의 적극적인 건강정보 탐색자로서의 역할, 가족들의 건강을 돌보는 매니저로서의 역할에 주목해왔다. 그러나 미국 내에 거주하는 한인 이민자 어머니들의 건강정보 필요성이나 탐색 행동에 관한 연구는 미비하다. 본 연구는 커뮤니티를 기반으로 한 설문 연구로서, 한인 이민자 어머니들의 건강정보 필요성과 탐색에 대한 행동을 알아보고자 하였다. 만0세부터 10세의 한인 어머니들 사이에서 가장 중요하다고 여겨지는 건강 주제들은 예방접종, 치아건강, 육아, 영양/식단, 그리고 운동 등으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 특정 주제들에 한하여 아이들의 성별과 나이에 따라 어머니들의 건강 정보 필요성이 다르다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 미국뿐만 아니라 한국의 정보 전문가들이 건강 정보 서비스를 개발하는데 있어서 염두에 둬야 할 점들을 제시하고 있다.

  • 노인 당뇨병 환자들의 정보행태를 이해하기 위하여 선행연구 고찰을 통해 관련요인을 도출하고 측정도구를 설계하여, B병원에서 치료 중인 60세 이상 당뇨병 환자들을 대상으로 구조화된 면접조사를 수행하였다(N=543). 질환에 대한 인식, 건강정보이해능력, 정보요구, 정보추구, 정보이용, 정보원 이용 애로사항, 선호 정보서비스, 개인적 배경에 대한 기본통계량과 요인간의 관계를 분석하고 가설검증을 통하여 영향요인을 구명하였다. 노인 당뇨병 환자들은 질환에 대한 인식과 건강정보이해능력이 낮으며, 질환에 대한 인식은 정보요구도, 정보이용도와 상관관계가 있고, 건강정보이해능력은 정보이용도와 상관관계가 있다. 교육경험과 유병기간에 따라 정보요구도와 정보이용도에 차이가 있고, 정보환경, 성별, 나이, 학력에 따라 정보이용도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 질환인식 캠페인 전개, 정보지원시설 홍보활동, 집단별 정보제공과 서비스 방안 등을 제언하였다.

  • Purpose: With the development of media, the ways adolescents can obtain information related to sexual health have diversified. Prior quantitative research on adolescents' sexual health information seeking behaviors (HISB) has limitations in grasping the details, and sexual issues of adolescents have tended to be underreported in quantitative studies. It is necessary to explore sexual HISB through an integrative review of qualitative research. The aim of the study was to analyze the literature on sexual HISB among adolescents, focusing on qualitative research. Methods: An integrative review was undertaken to explore the studies conducted between 2009 and 2018 that addressed sexual HISB such as source preferences, perceived trustworthiness, and tendency according to age and gender among adolescents. Results: Seven studies met the selection criteria and were analyzed according different sexual HISB. It was identified that adolescents preferred trustworthy sources and had a pattern of reviewing and comparing the content among diverse sources to confirm the quality of the information. Female adolescents valued privacy and confidentiality, while male adolescents would like to earn information along with their peers and perceived it as an opportunity to exchange their experiences and thoughts. Late adolescents preferred to seek sexual health information from peers and on the internet such as websites and social platforms compared to early adolescents. Conclusion: This study is significant in that it provides evidence that can be applied when developing programs for promoting sexual health in adolescents. It is suggested that programs should focus on building trustworthiness and consider differences in age and gender to improve the use of sexual health information among adolescents.

  • This study classified respondents by degree of obesity using Body Mass Index(BMI) and investigated the differences in self-esteem, food lifestyle, social-cultural attitudes towards appearance, and diet-related attitude and behavior such as trial number of diet, exercise time and period, use of diet information, interest in weight control, diet motivation, and dietetic therapy. A survey was conducted with 258 adults between the ages of 20 and 29 who lived in Daegu and Uijeongbu from November $17^{th}$ to December $14^{th}$ 2014. Data collected from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factor analyses, analyses of variance and chi-square tests. This study divided the respondents into three groups (the underweight, the normal weight, the overweight) according to Body Mass Index. The results showed that there were significant differences in food lifestyle (health-conscious, popularity-seeking, taste-seeking), social-cultural attitudes towards appearance, exercise time and period, use of diet information, interest in weight control, diet motivation, and dietetic therapy among groups classified by degree of obesity. However, there were no differences in self-esteem, convenience-seeking, and trial number of diet among them.

  • This study aims to investigate whether information awareness, search purpose, and search expectations influence information avoidance among university students. The data were collected by using a self-completion questionnaire with convenience sampling of students from one university. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using R 4.2.3. The main results are as follows: First, both search purpose and search expectations exhibited a significant inverse correlation with all information avoidance dependent variables. Second, there was a significant difference in the mean of search expectations across majors, such that science majors had higher search expectations than humanities majors. Third, there were significant differences in the means of the information avoidance-system and information avoidance variables by major, such that both variables had lower means for the science than the humanities group. Fourth, among the independent variables, search expectation had a significant effect on information avoidance-personal: the higher the search expectation variable, the lower the information avoidance-personal variable. This study confirmed that information avoidance should not only consider the psychological, emotional, and affective aspects of information seekers, but also that information seekers' information search purpose and search expectations are predictors of information avoidance.

  • In this study, we examined changes in the food consumption patterns of Korean adults due to COVID-19 using the results of the 2019 and 2021 adult household member food consumption behavior surveys. In the weight and BMI analysis results, both men and women showed a significant increase in 2021 compared to 2019 (male; p<0.01 female; p<0.001). The frequency of breakfast skipping was found to increase with none and over 5 times. As for interest in domestic agricultural products, the proportion of 'not interested' and 'average' responses decreased, while the proportion of those who responded 'interested' increased (p<0.01). The rate of eating out was found to have significantly decreased in 2021 compared to 2019. As a result of the eating lifestyle analysis, the taste seeking type, quality safety seeking type, and health seeking type also showed an increase in 2021 compared to 2019, and a significant level was confirmed. In the purchasing competency index, the use of labeling for agricultural products, use of agricultural food information, and agricultural food purchasing environment items all showed significantly improved results in 2021 compared to 2019, and the eating competency index showed a significant increase in healthy eating and traditional eating habits. Through this study, we aim to suggest directions for establishing food marketing strategies and dietary education for adults in the event of a future pandemic.

  • 본 연구는 건강캠페인을 위해 제작된 공익광고 영상 메시지에 대한 공감 반응 효과를 살펴보는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 공감반응척도를 바탕으로 금연, 결핵, 자살을 주제로 한 9개의 건강캠페인 영상에 대한 공감반응이 건강 위험에 대한 공포심 유발과 건강행위(정보추구, 예방행동)에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 공감 반응요인 중 메시지 크리에이티브의 현실성, 영상 속 등장인물에 대한 감정일치, 동일시가 각각 공포심을 높이는 역할을 하였으며, 건강캠페인 영상을 통해 건강 문제를 일으키는 상황을 논리적으로 이해하는 것은 오히려 공포나 건강정보추구 행위를 줄이는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 건강캠페인에 대한 공감반응요인 중 영상 속 등장인물에 대한 동정과 같은 관심도가 높아질수록 건강 위험을 줄이기 위한 예방 행동의도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.
