Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to compare the demographic characteristics, health and quality of life between general adults and adults living with dementia. Method : The data were collected using raw data of the 2016 community health survey and compared between 2,592 adults living with dementia patients and 225,840 general adults. health were assessed for sleep time, stress level, depression, and subjective health status, and quality of life was measured by EQ-5D. Result : In comparison of demographic characteristics, age and family number of adults living with dementia patients were significantly higher than general adults (p<.001), income and eduation levels were low (p<.001), and marital status was higher rate of living with spouse (p<.05). In comparison of health status, adults living with dementia patients were significantly longer in sleep time than the general adults (p<.001), and stress level was higher (p<.001), the percentage of experience of depression was higher (p<.001), and the subjective health status was worse (p<.001). Adults living with dementia patients were significantly lower in quality of life total score and all sub-domain than general adults (p<.001). Conclusion : Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to seek ways to improve the health and quality of life of dementia patients' families.

목적 본 연구는 치매 환자와 함께 거주하는 성인과 일반 성인 사이의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강 및 삶의 질을 비교하고자 하였다. 연구방법 자료수집은 2016년 지역사회건강조사 원시자료를 이용하였으며, 치매진단을 받은 환자와 함께 거주하는 성인 2,592명과 일반 성인 225,840명을 비교분석하였다. 건강은 수면시간, 스트레스 수준, 우울감 여부, 주관적 건강수준이 평가되었으며, 삶의 질은 EQ-5D로 측정하였다. 연구결과 인구사회학적 특성 비교에서 치매 환자와 함께 거주하는 성인은 일반 성인보다 나이와 가구원수가 유의하게 많았으며(p<.001), 소득과 교육수준이 낮았고(p<.001), 혼인상태는 배우자와 함께 거주하는 비율이 더 높았다(p<.05). 건강에 대한 비교에서 치매 환자와 함께 거주하는 성인은 일반 성인보다 수면시간이 길었고(p<.001), 스트레스 수준이 높았으며(p<.001), 우울감 경험의 비율이 높았고(p<.001), 주관적 건강수준이 나빴다(p<.001). 치매 환자와 함께 거주하는 성인은 일반 성인보다 삶의 질 총점과 모든 하위영역이 유의하게 낮았다(p<.001). 결론 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 치매 환자 가족의 건강 및 삶의 질 향상을 위한 방안을 모색해야 할 것이다.
