Abstract

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of navigator education program for cancer screening, which is designed for improvement in knowledge of cancer, perceived self efficacy and communication skill of the breast and cervical cancer screening for middle-aged and aged women in urban areas. Cancer screening navigator is lay health advisor who are educated for providing information, emotional support about cancer screening at the community. Methods: The subjects were 33 women at the age of 40-69 and educated for 12 hours through the education program. The control group subjects were 30 women. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics and paired t-test were used with SPSS WIN 14.0. Results: Contents of education program were case of cancer early detection, benefit of breast cancer screening, benefit of cervical cancer screening, health care system for cancer screening, role of cancer screening navigator, communication skill, transtheoretical model and role play. Knowledge of cancer(t=4.267, p=0.000) and communication skill(t=4.947, p=0.000) of the women increased significantly after implementing the 12 hours education program. Conclusion: The results suggest that navigator education for cancer screening has an effect in increasing knowledge of cancer, and communication skill scores.

이 연구는 중장년층 여성의 유방암과 자궁경부암 검진을 위한 지식, 인지된 자기효능감, 의사소통 기술을 향상시키기 위하여 디자인된 암 검진네비게이터 교육의 효과를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 암 검진 네비게이터는 건강에 대한 조언을 해주는 이웃으로 지역사회에서 필요한 정보를 제공하고 암 검진에 관한 정서적 지지를 해준다. 연구 대상자는 12시간의 교육을 받은 40-69세의 여성 33명과 대조군 30명이며, 자료 분석은 SPSS 14.0을 이용하여 기술 분석과 paired t-test를 실시하였다. 교육내용은 암 조기검진을 통한 조기치료 성공사례, 유방암 및 자궁경부암 조기검진의 이점, 암 검진을 위한 보건의료 서비스, 암 조기검진 지도자의 역할, 의사소통 기술, 변화단계 이론 및 역할극으로 구성되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 암 검진 네비게이터 교육 프로그램은 지역사회 자원을 활용하여 암수검률을 향상시키고자 하였고, 지역사회 주민의 암에 관한 지식과 의사소통 기술을 증진시키는데 효과가 있었다. 이는 지역사회 주민의 암 조기검진 수검률 향상을 위해 암 검진 네비게이터를 지속적으로 육성해야 함을 시사한다. 또한 유방암과 자궁경부암에 대한 조기검진 수검률이 낮은 것은 암에 대한 지식수준이 낮고 암 발생의 심각성, 암 검진의 편익에 대한 이해가 부족하므로 더 많은 홍보의 필요성을 시사하며 암 검진 네비게이터의 지속적인 활동이 이와 같은 문제를 해결하는데 일익을 담당할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 암으로 인한 사망률 감소를 위해서는 암 검진 수검률을 향상시켜야 하며 이를 위해서는 본 연구에서 개발된 암검진 네비게이터 교육 프로그램의 지속적인 확대와 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 다음과 같이 제언하는 바이다. 첫째, 본 연구 결과를 타 지역사회에 적용해 보는 반복 연구와, 둘째, 지역적, 문화적 특성 및 암종별 특성을 고려한 교육으로 암 검진 네비게이터 프로그램을 수정 보완한 연구를 제언한다.
