Abstract

Objectives: This research aimed to identify the level of perception, knowledge, preventive behavior, and factors affecting preventive behavior of patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease against particulate matter. Methods: This research was a descriptive survey research, and the subjects were chronic pulmonary disease patients over the age of 19 and under 80 who visited a university hospital in Daegu City. Data was collected by convenience sampling through structured self-administered questionnaire survey from December 2019 to January 2020, and a total of 212 copies were used for analysis. Results: Out of 212 total subjects, 112 were asthma patients (52.8%) and 100 were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients (47.2%). The average score (out of 10) of perception, knowledge and preventive behavior of patients with asthma for particulate matter was 7.92, 6.99, and 7.10, respectively, while those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease scored 7.72, 6.24, and 6.80, respectively. The knowledge score was significantly higher in patients with asthma than those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p=0.007). Factors affecting particulate matter preventive behavior were perception score, knowledge score, and age for asthma patients, and perception score for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Conclusions: As a result of the above, the factors relate to the preventive behavior of patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were perception score, knowledge score, and age for asthma, and perception score for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Raising the level of particulate matter preventive behavior can prevent the deterioration of chronic pulmonary diseases caused by particulate matter, so the development of arbitration programs considering the characteristics of the patients according to the disease and continuous and repetitive education are required.

이 연구의 목적은 천식과 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자들의 미세먼지에 대한 인식, 지식, 예방행위 수준과, 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위한 것이다. 이 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 연구대상은 대구광역시 소재 일개 대학병원 호흡기전문질환센터를 방문한 만 19세 이상, 만 80세 이하의 만성호흡기질환자를 편의표본추출하였고, 2019년 12월부터 2020년 1월까지 구조화된 자기기입식 설문조사로 자료를 수집하여, 총 212부의 자료를 분석 대상으로 하였다. 연구대상자는 212명이었으며, 이중 천식 112명(52.8%), 만성폐쇄성폐질환 100명(47.2%)이었다. 미세먼지에 대한 인식, 지식, 예방행위의 평균 점수(10점 만점)는 천식 환자는 각각 7.92점, 6.99점, 7.10점이었고, 만성폐쇄성폐질환자는 각각 7.72점, 6.24점, 6.80점 이었다.미세먼지 지식 점수는 천식환자가 만성폐쇄성폐질환자보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.007). 미세먼지 예방행위 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인은 천식은 인식 점수, 지식 점수, 연령이며, 만성폐쇄성폐질환은 인식 점수가 유의한 요인이었다. 이상의 결과 천식과 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자의 예방행위에 영향을 주는 요인은 천식은 인식 점수, 지식 점수, 연령이며, 만성폐쇄성폐질환은 인식점수였다. 미세먼지 예방행위 수준을 높이는 것은 미세먼지로 인한 만성호흡기질환의 악화를 막을 수 있으므로, 질환에 따른 대상자의 특성을 고려한 중재 프로그램의 개발과 지속적이고 반복적인 교육이 요구된다.
