Abstract

Purpose: Although the number of cancer survivors is increasing because of early diagnosis and better treatment, they are worried about relapses and metastasis. This study examined the dietary safety management awareness, capacity, and behavior of cancer survivors. Methods: Data were collected from 233 cancer survivors in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas using a self-administered 5-Likert questionnaire from March to May 2018. Frequency analysis, one-way analysis of variance, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis were analyzed using the SPSS. Results: The average score for each factor was as follows: importance of weight management (3.83), education requirement (3.79), unhealthy diet (reverse, 3.64), food safety anxiety (3.34), lack of awareness of over and malnutrition (reverse, 3.26), obsession (3.23), cooking capacity (3.16), health-function pursuit (3.04), balanced diet (2.93), and chronic disease anxiety (2.64). The average dietary safety competency factors were significantly lower among the male survivors, aged 60-80 years, lower economic condition, and less nutritional supplement intake. Female survivors comprised the highest proportion with high health management and cooking capacity, while men had the lowest of all the factors (p < 0.001). The group that was low in all three capacity factors had a significantly lower average score of difficulty in acquiring knowledge (reverse), lack of awareness of over- and malnutrition (reverse), importance of weight management, education requirement, knowledge, balanced diet, and health-functional pursuit compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: To effectively manage health, dietary safety management education should be differentiated and actively conducted according to sex, age, cancer diagnosis time, economic status, nutritional supplement intake, and the capacity cluster of cancer survivors.

본 연구는 암 진단을 받고 치료 중이거나 치료가 완료되어 관리를 하고 있는 대구·경북 지역 30대 이상 암 생존자 233명을 대상으로 식생활 안전관리 인식과 역량, 행동을 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 체중관리의 중요성 인식 요인의 평균점수가 3.83/5.00점으로 가장 높았고, 다음으로 교육 요구 (3.79점), 건강하지 않은 식생활 (역, 3.64점) 순으로 높은 반면, 지식 습득의 어려움 (역, 2.30점) 요인의 평균점수가 가장 낮았고, 만성질환 불안 (2.64점), 지식 인식(2.74점), 균형식 (2.93점) 순으로 낮았다. 둘째, 남성, 60대, 경제적 상태와 영양보충제 섭취가 상대적으로 낮은 암 생존자의 식생활 안전관리 평균점수가 낮았고, 50대와 암 진단 3-5년 된 생존자의 식생활 안전에 관한 강박관념과 건강기능성 추구 요인이 유의적으로 높았다. 셋째, 식생활 안전관리 역량 중 건강관리 및 조리 역량이 높은 집단은 균형식과 건강기능성 추구 요인의 평균점수가 유의적으로 높았으나, 세 역량이 모두 낮은 집단은 이들 요인들이 평균점수가 낮았다. 넷째, 균형식 요인은 건강하지 않은 식생활(역) 요인을 제외한 모든 요인과 유의적인 상관관계를 보였고, 건강관리 역량 요인은 만성질환 불안, 식품안전 불안, 건강하지 않은 식생활(역) 요인을 제외한 요인과 유의적인 상관관계를 보였다. 본 연구는 암 재활 및 재발방지를 위해 암 생존자의 식생활 안전관리 유형과 인식, 및 행동을 살펴보았다. 현재의 암을 치료하고, 미래의 재발과 전이, 만성질환을 예방하여 지속가능한 건강관리를 위한 식생활 관리를 위해 암 생존자들을 대상으로 보다 적극적인 식생활 안전관리 역량 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
