Abstract

This study examined the relationships among levels of knowledge, attitude and preventive behavior regarding tuberculosis in service workers. The survey period was 1 - 7 October, 2015 with service workers who work in large scale stores in Jeonnam. The collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients using the SPSS WIN 12.0 program. The mean score for knowledge about tuberculosis was $14.05{\pm}6.39$, the mean score of attitude toward tuberculosis was $29.87{\pm}4.89$ and the mean score of preventive behavior for tuberculosis was $31.44{\pm}4.86$. Preventive behavior was found to have significant relationships with gender, marital status, smoking, job satisfaction, and subjective health status. A slightly positive correlation was observed between the knowledge of tuberculosis and the attitudes toward tuberculosis. A positive correlation was noted between the attitude toward tuberculosis and preventive behavior for tuberculosis, while there was a negative correlation between the preventive behavior and age. Therefore, is necessary to consider the related factors for the development and implementation of systematic education programs that can encourage and promote preventive behavior for tuberculosis among service workers.

본 연구는 서비스직 종사자들의 결핵관련 지식, 태도 및 예방행위 정도를 파악하고 그 관계를 규명함으로써 서비스직 종사자를 위한 결핵예방교육 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 연구기간은 2015년 10월 1일부터 10월 7일까지 전남지역 대규모점포에 재직 중인 서비스직 종사자를 대상으로 실시하였다. 자료는 자기기입식 설문지로 수집되었으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS 12.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 독립표본 t-검정, 단변량 분산분석, 피어슨 상관관계를 적용하였다. 결핵에 대한 지식 정도는 평균 14.05점(30점 만점), 태도 정도는 평균 29.88점(60점 만점)으로 나타났으며, 결핵 예방행위 정도는 평균 31.44점(60점 만점) 이었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 결핵 예방행위는 성별, 결혼상태, 흡연형태, 직업 만족도, 주관적인 건강상태에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 결핵관련 지식, 태도 및 결핵 예방행위간의 관계는 정적 상관관계, 연령과 결핵 예방행위간의 관계는 부적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 서비스직 종사자의 결핵 예방행위를 높이기 위해서는 우선 결핵에 대한 정보 제공시 동기부여가 먼저 선행되어야 할 것이며, 단순한 결핵 예방행위를 위한 지식뿐 아니라 체계적이고 효율적인 건강증진을 위한 긍정적인 태도를 강화시킬 수 있는 전략이 요구된다.
