Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out preschool children's health status and their mothers' health management in the vulnerable classes. Methods: The assessment tool was developed, taken into consideration existing studies, materials produced by the customized visiting health care system, and review of visiting nurses of health centers and related experts. Data were collected January to February 2010 from 259 mothers by visiting nurses, and analyzed using SAS program for descriptive statistics. Results: Body weight less than 3 percentile was found for 5.0% children and over 97 percentile for 7.7%. Atopy was found in 17.8% children, no hand-washing after toileting and before meal in 30.9% and 36.7% respectively, no breakfast in 15.8%, and irregular meal in 32.0%. Sex education was made by 45.7% mothers, regular dental check by 56.6%, and hearing and eyesight test by 61.1% and 66.8% respectively. Home environment for upbringing is 34.3 in the scale of 41, and accident prevention 17.5 in the scale of 22. Conclusion: It is necessary to make an intervention on children's weight, personal sanitation and meal time in the vulnerable classes. Mothers need to be educated for appropriate health care, and home environments to improve upbringing and accident prevention.

목적 본 연구는 취약계층 학령전기 아동의 건강상태와 어머니의 아동 건강관리실태를 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 방법 대상자는 259명의 취약계층 가정의 어머니이며, 연구도구는 선행 연구를 기반으로 연구자가 구성한 설문지이다. 자료는 2010년 1월부터 2월까지 경상남도 20개 보건소의 방문간호사가 가정방문을 통해 수집하였으며, SAS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과 비만 아동이 6.5%, 저체중 아동이 19.3%였으며, 건강문제는 아토피가 14.7%였다. 손 씻기 수행율은 화장실 사용 후 69.1%, 식사 전 63.3%였으며, 아침 결식 아동이 15.8%, 규칙적으로 식사하지 않는 아동이 32.0%였다. 어머니의 아동 성교육률은 45.7%, 정기적인 치과검진율은 56.3%였고, 시력검사와 청력검사를 하는 경우가 각각 66.8%와 61.1%였다. 성장발달 촉진을 위한 가정환경은 41점 중 34.3점이었고, 질병유무와 어머니의 연령과 학력에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 사고예방을 위한 가정환경은 22점 중 17.5점이었고, 유치원 등원 여부에 따라 차이가 있었다. 결론 비만 아동과 저체중 아동의 비율이 높고, 기본적인 개인위생 습관과 식습관이 적절하지 못한 아동의 비율이 높았으며, 어머니의 아동건강관리실태는 기초적인 건강관리와 아동의 성장발달 증진과 사고예방을 위한 가정환경의 조성이 미흡한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 가정방문 간호사들이 취약가정 학령전기 아동의 건강과 성장발달을 증진시킬 수 있는 가정방문용 간호중재 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있는 것으로 생각된다.
