Abstract

In the context of COVID-19, the economic downturn affects health as well as concerns about economic damage to individuals. In this study, among a total of 15,047 people who were economically active during the community health survey for those aged 19 and over, health behaviors related to the impact of changes in daily life due to the demographic and social and economic characteristics of COVID-19 were concerned about economic damage. was analyzed to determine whether it had an effect on Factors affecting the fear of economic damage were gender, education level, monthly income level, status, subjective health level, physical activity, and smoking, which had more influence on the fear of economic damage than other characteristics. In this study, males(p=0.024), high school graduates(p<0.001), monthly income level of 1,000,001 to 3,000,000won(p-=0.002), wage workers(p<0.001), subjects who responded that their subjective health level was 'similar'(p=0.009), subjects who responded 'similar' in physical activity(p<0.001), and smoked 'similar'(p=0.016) Those who answered high were more concerned about economic damage. Considering that COVID-19 is highly likely to be prolonged and social distancing cannot be ruled out, which affects health care due to economic damage, it is necessary to reflect it in health program development and economic-related fiscal policies.

COVID-19 상황에서 경제적 침체는 개인의 경제적 피해 염려와 더불어 건강에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 만 19세 이상을 대상으로 한 지역사회건강조사 중 경제적 활동을 하고 있는 총 15,047명을 대상으로 인구사회적, 경제적 특성과 COVID-19로 인한 일상생활변화 영향과 관련된 건강행태가 경제적피해 염려에 영향을 주는지 분석하였다. 경제적 피해 염려에 영향을 주는 요인은 성별, 교육수준, 월 소득수준, 지위, 주관적 건강수준, 신체활동, 흡연으로 다른 특성보다도 경제적 피해염려에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 본 연구에서 남성(p=0.024) 고등학교 졸업자(p<0.001), 월 소득수준 101-300만원(p-=0.002), 임금근로자(p<0.001), 주관적 건강수준이 '비슷하다'고 응답한 대상자(p=0.009), 신체활동이 '감소하다'고 응답한 대상자(p<0.001), 흡연이 '비슷하다'고 응답한 대상자(p=0.016)에서 경제적 피해 염려가 높았다. COVID-19가 장기화될 가능성이 높고 사회적 거리두기가 상향될 가능성도 배제할 수 없어 경제적 피해로 인한 건강관리에 영향을 미치는 점을 고려하여 건강프로그램 개발 및 경제관련 재정 정책에 반영할 필요가 있다.
