초록

본 연구는 중고령자의 디지털헬스기기에 대한 자기효능감과 이용의도 간의 관계를 중장년층과 노년층 집단별로 살펴보고자 하였다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 『2019 한국 중·고령자 기술수용도 조사』를 이용하여, 빈도분석과 T-test 분석, 선형회귀분석을 시행하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중장년층과 노년층의 디지털헬스기기 이용의도를 비교한 결과, 중장년층의 이용의도(5.07점)는 노년층(4.86점)에 비해 상당히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중장년층의 자기효능감(7.74점) 역시 노년층(6.21점)보다 높게 나타났지만 두 연령집단 모두 절반보다 높게 나타나 상당히 높은 자기효능감을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 연령집단별 자기효능감과 이용의도 간 관계를 살펴본 결과, 중장년층의 경우 자기효능감과 이용의도 간의 관계가 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났으나 노년층의 경우에는 자기효능감과 이용의도 간의 관계가 정적인 방향으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 노년층의 경우에는 디지털기기에 대한 자기효능감이 높을수록 디지털헬스기기 이용의도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 통해 중고령자의 디지털헬스기기 활용 증진을 위해서는 자기효능감을 증진시킬 수 있는 교육프로그램이 선제적으로 도입될 필요가 있으며, 중장년층과 노년층의 연령집단 특성에 따라 차별화된 전략이 필요함을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 연령집단에 따른 디지털헬스기기 이용의도 연구의 기초연구가 될 것으로 기대하며 후속연구로서 유용성, 편의성, 불안 등이 포함된 연구를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the self-efficacy and intention to use for digital health devices by middle-aged and aged groups. We conducted the frequency analysis, T-test analysis, and linear regression analysis using the 2019 Korean Senior Technology Acceptance Survey. The analysis results are as follows. First, the group of the middle-aged had higher score of the intention to use for digital health devices than the group of the elderly. Second, the group of the middle-aged group also had higher self-efficacy than the group of the elderly. Lastly, it was found that the relationship between the self-efficacy and intention to use was not significant in the middle-aged group. However, the relationship between the self-efficacy and intention to use in the elderly group had a positive influence. We suggested that the differentiated strategy is needed to promote the utilization of digital health devices for middle-aged and aged. This study is expected to be a fundamental study of digital health devices and suggest the research model including the usefulness, ease of use, and anxiety.
