Abstract

Purpose : This study aimed to analyze the relationship between local residents' experience of public health education on smoking, drinking, and nutrition and their perceptions of health and happiness, thereby providing data for improving the levels of residents' perceptions of health and happiness through the expansion of public health education. Methods : This study used 2017 data on the health of local communities in Gyeongsangnam-do. SPSS (version 25.0) was employed for the statistical analysis. A t-test and an analysis of variance were conducted in order to examine the levels of local residents' perceptions of health and happiness according to their general characteristics and whether or not they had received public health education on smoking, drinking, and nutrition. Results : Those who resided in a city, were younger, earned money, had high educational background, and had high income level had much experience on smoking, drinking, and nutrition education. Those who lived in a county, were males, were younger, had a high level of education, earned money, and had high income level felt a high level of subjective happiness. Residents who had experienced smoking, drinking, and nutrition education had a high level of subjective perception of general health and oral health. The subjects' experience of public health education was positively correlated with their levels of perception of their health and happiness. Conclusion : Education on smoking, drinking, and nutrition for local residents does not merely provide them with knowledge but also it is conductive to improving their quality of life. Therefore, more opportunities for a larger number of people to receive public health education on diverse topics should be given to increase their levels of happiness.
