본 연구는 국가건강검진에 대한 현 상황을 제시하여 수검률을 높이기 위한 방안을 찾는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 인구적 요인(성별, 연령, 소득수준, 교육수준), 건강 요인(흡연, 음주, 비만, 주관적 건강상태)을 각각 선정하고, 선정된 요인이 집단별 차이가 있는지 여부와, 병원 수·소득수준에 따른 수검자를 시각화했다. 그 결과 주관적 건강상태를 제외한 건강 요인, 인구적 요인, 병원 개수 모두 검진 여부와 관련이 있었다. 또한 인구적 요인의 연령 중 20대와 소득수준이 낮은 집단과, 건강적 요인의 비만여부 중 저체중이 미수검률이 높았다. 따라서 이러한 집단들의 미수검자에 대한 홍보와 지원, 교육 등이 필요하다고 여겨진다.

Authors studied the workers' knowledge about the health problems detected through the previous workers' periodic health examination, content of follow-up management ana actions taken for their health problem detected on previous health examination. From June to September 1992, workers' periodic health examination was peformed on workers employed in 10 companies located in 2 middle-sized Korean cities. A questionnaire survey was done far 150 workers who reported to have $D_2$ result of either hypertension or liver disorder at the previous workers' periodic health examination done in 1991. The results are as follows; 1. Of 160 workers who had $D_2$ result of either hypertension or liver disorder in previous examination one year before, only 85 workers(51.3%, 43 workers with hypertension, 38 workers with live disorder) responded that they have such disorders. The other 65 workers responded to questionnaire were all those with C results. Respondents' knowledge about their diagnoses was relatively precise (95.2% in hypertension group, 94.6% in liver disorder group) but knowledge about classification of diseases was poor. 2. The main efforts to solve the health problem nab self management (20 spells, 55.3%), visiting clinic or hospital(6 spells, 12.8%), use of herb medicine (2 spells, 4.3%) and use of drug store(2 spells, 4.3%) in hypertension group. In liver disorder group, 30 spells (71.4%) relied on self management,6 spells (14.3%) on hospital or clinic and 9 spells (21.4%) had no effort to improve the health problem. Content of self management was low salt diet, quit smoking, regular exercise and quit alcohol drinking in order. Avoidance of salt in diet was high in hypertension group and quitting alcohol drinking was high in liver disorder group. In those with self management, 80.7% of hypertension group and 83.3% of liver disorder group continued previous effort. Those, however, who utilized clinic or hospital, only 16.7% and 50.0% were still visiting hospital or clinic. 3. Fifty seven percent of hypertension group and 64.3% of liver disorder group was presently smoking,8.5% and 11.9% reduced smoking and 21.3% and 14.3% stopped smoking. Forty nine percent of hypertension group and 28.6% of liver disorder group was presently drinking. Reduced alcohol intake was reported in 29.8% and 40.5%, 12.8ole and 23.8% stopped alcohol drinking. Sixty six percent of hypertension group and 73.8% of liver disorder group did no regular exercise, but 12.8% and 11.9% of each group increased their physical exercise far last one year. Forty three percent of hypertension group and 38.l% of liver disorder group was overweight (defined by bodymass index greater or equal than 25). Reduced body Weight was reported in 17.2% and 16.7% of each group. Reduced dietary salt intake was high in hypertension group (51.5%). The study results suggest that follow-up management after workers' periodic health examination is not satisfactory. In order to improve this situation, adequate information on the result of the workers' periodic health examination should be distributed to each worker group with health education and counselling.

연 업종별 보건관리 대행기관에 의해 근로자의 보건 관리를 하고 있는 5개 연 축전지 회사의 전체 근로자들 중 1995년에 일반 건강진단 및 특수 건강진단을 동시에 시행한 전체 1,919명의 근로자 중에서 C(건강관리 상 계속 관찰이 필요한자)와 D(유소견자)의 판정을 받은 365명의 근로자들을 대상으로 하여 이들 중 퇴직자 35명, 조사 기간중 출장, 휴직 및 야간 근무자 8명, 그리고 조사에 응하지 않은 근로자 29명 등 총 72명을 제외한 293명을 대상으로 설문 및 1995년도 일반 및 특수 건강진단 결과표를 통하여 건강진단 결과에 따른 사후관리 조치실태 및 관련 요인들을 조사하였다. 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 요주의자 이상근로자의 86%가 건강진단결과표를 받았으나 이에 대한 교육설명이 제대로 이루어지지 않았고, 자신의 건강진단 결과를 잘 알고 있지 못하였다. 2. 사후관리 조치가 있었던 근로자는 23%로 낮았으며, 사후관리조치의 내용은 단순한 추적관찰이 가장 많았다. 3. 조사대상 근로자들은 현재의 건강진단은 필요하지만 형식적이라고 하였다. 4.사후관리 조치의 유무를 피설명변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 유의한 설명 변수는 건강진단 결과에 대한 설명의 유무뿐이었다.
