Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the differences in health promotion behaviors by the use of complementary alternative therapy(CAT) in elderly women with osteoarthritis. A total of 621 elderly women with osteoarthritis from public health centers and their branches at a city of C state were enrolled. This study analyzed the frequency and percentage of complementary alternative therapy utilization; a Chi-square test was used for utilization analysis according to subjects' general characteristics and disease features. Degree of health promotion behaviors according to CAT utilization was analyzed by a t-test and ANOVA. The study found that the CAT utilization rate for the total of 621 people was 61.7 %. For health promotion behaviors according to CAT utilization, statistically significant differences were found in exercise (p<0.001), health responsibility (p<0.001) and self-realization (p=0.016) from the domains. This study demonstrated the differences of health promotion behaviors based on CAT utilization. Due to the results of this study it is notable to mention that counseling, instruction for CAT utilization, and strategy development for health promotion are necessary for elderly women with osteoarthritis.

본 연구의 목적은 퇴행성관절염 여성노인들의 보완대체요법 이용 유무에 따른 건강증진행위의 차이를 비교하는 것이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 총 621명으로 C도 1개 도시 보건소와 보건지소에 등록된 퇴행성관절염 여성노인이다. 자료 분석 방법은 보완대체요법 이용률은 빈도와 백분율로, 대상자의 일반적 특성 및 질병관련 특성에 따른 보완대체요법 이용차이는 ${\chi}^2$ 검정, 보완대체요법 이용유무에 따른 건강증진행위 정도는 t-test, ANOVA로 분석하였다. 연구결과 전체 대상자 621명의 보완대체요법 사용률은 61.7%였으며 보완대체요법 이용유무에 따른 두 집단간 건강증진행위 영역에서 운동(p<.001), 건강책임(p<.001), 자아실현(p=.016)은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 퇴행성관절염 여성노인들의 보완대체요법 이용 유무에 따른 건강증진행위가 차이가 있으므로 보완대체요법의 안전하고 올바른 사용에 대한 상담 및 지도가 필요하고 건강증진 전략행위 개발이 필요함을 알 수 있다.
