Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influencing mental health literacy. Methods : We obtained data on 2016 general population from the Korean Mental Health Literacy Survey (2021) conducted by Ministry of Health and Welfare. Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations between sociodemographic characteristics and the score of questionnaire items in Korean Mental Health Literacy Survey. Results : Among the factors, female (p<0.001), higher age (p=0.005), higher income level (p<0.001) were significantly correlated with higher score of questionnaire items. Awareness of mental health center & community addiction management center (p=0.002), awareness of mental health hotline service (p<0.001) were also significantly associated with higher response score. Conclusions : The factors affecting mental health literacy could be considered when providing community mental health services.

연구목적 정신건강 지식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 이 연구를 수행하였다. 방 법 2021년 만 15세 이상 69세 이하 일반인구 2016명으로 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 연구는 보건복지부에서 시행한 2021년 '대국민 정신건강 지식 및 태도 조사'의 데이터를 이용하였으며, 인구사회학적 특성, 거주지별 특성, 정신건강 상태, 정신건강 문제 수준, 자원 인지를 조사하였으며, 32문항의 정신건강 지식 설문을 이용하여 정신건강 지식을 측정하였다. 결 과 다중회귀분석 결과 여성(p<0.001), 높은 연령(p=0.005), 높은 소득 수준(p<0.001)이 통계학적으로 유의하게 정신건강 지식과 상관관계가 있었으며, 지역사회정신보건기관 인지(p=0.002), 정신건강상담전화 인지(p<0.001)도 통계학적으로 유의하게 정신건강 지식과 상관관계가 있었다. 결 론 지역사회 진료나 정신건강 사업에 있어 정신건강 지식에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 고려한 접근이 필요하다.
