Objectives: The workplace is an ideal place for encouraging health-promoting behaviors. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of an empowerment program on the health-promoting behaviors of women workers. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted with 80 women workers employed at a food packaging facility in 2020. The subjects were selected using convenience sampling and were classified into intervention and control groups using block randomization. An empowerment program for women workers was conducted across 6 sessions based on an empowerment model. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II, which participants completed both before the program and 8 weeks after the last session. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. Results: There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in various health-promoting behaviors before the program. However, the intervention group's scores for nutrition (34.92±1.09 vs. 27.87±4.23), physical activity (24.40±2.94 vs. 17.40±5.03), stress management (26.35±2.60 vs. 23.05±4.27), spiritual growth (34.02±3.00 vs. 30.22±5.40), interpersonal relationships (30.82±2.38 vs. 27.60±4.61), and health responsibility (31.60±2.71 vs. 28.22±4.59) were significantly higher than the control group's 8 weeks after the program had ended. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the total score of health-promoting behaviors for the intervention group compared to the control group (179.00±9.22 vs. 151.42±20.25, p=0.001). Conclusions: An empowerment program for women workers led to significant improvements in the health-promoting behaviors of the participants. Similar programs can ultimately improve women's health in the workplace.

연구배경: 중년기 여성은 젊은 여성에 비하여 과체중과 비만의 유병률이 높으며, 특히 여성이 남성에 비하여 비만과 관련된 건강관련 삶의 질이 나쁘다고 알려져 있다. 이에 건강관련 삶의 질에 취약한 과체중 중년 여성의 건강관련 삶의 질을 전략적으로 개선하는 것이 중요하겠다. 건강증진 행위는 건강관련 삶의 질과 밀접한 연관성이 있을 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 과체중 중년 여성이 정상체중의 중년 여성에 비하여 건강증진 행위와 건강관련 삶의 질이 낮은지를 조사하고, 과체중 중년 여성에서 건강증진 행위가 일반적(generic) 혹은 비만특이적(obesity-specific) 건강관련 삶의 질과 유의한 연관성이 있는지 밝히고자 한다. 방법: 본 연구는 횡단적 비교 연구이다. 서울시 성북구에 거주하는 30-49세 중년 여성 119명을 대상으로 하였으며, 과체중군은 63명이고 정상체중군은 56명이었다. 건강증진 행위는 Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) 도구를 사용하여 측정하였다. 일반적 건강관련 삶의 질은 World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief version(WHOQOL-BREF)을 사용하였으며, 비만특이적 건강관련 삶의 질은 Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite(IWQOL-Lite)를 사용하였다. 과체중군과 정상체중군 간의 건강증진 행위와 건강관련 삶의 질 차이를 분석하기 위하여 일반선형모델을 수행하였고, 과체중군 안에서 건강증진 행위와 건강관련 삶의 질과의 연관성은 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 과체중군은 정상체중군에 비하여 건강증진 행위의 스트레스 관리(P=0.029)를 포함하여 영양(P=0.004)과 신체활동(P=0.006)의 하부영역에서 유의하게 낮은 점수를 보였다. 또한 과체중군은 정상체중군에 비하여 일반적 건강관련 삶의 질 총점(P<0.001)과 비만특이적 건강관련 삶의 질 총점이 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.001). 더욱이, 과체중군에서 건강증진 행위 하부영역 중 스트레스 관리 점수가 높을수록 일반적 건강관련 삶의 질 총점이 높고(${\beta}=1.58$, P=0.003), 비만특이적 삶의 질 영역 중 자아존중감 점수가 유의하게 높았다(${\beta}=11.58$, P=0.034). 결론: 중년기 과체중 여성이 정상체중 여성과 비교하여 특히 건강증진 행위 중 스트레스 관리의 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이에, 지역사회 중년기 과체중 여성의 일반적 혹은 비만과 관련된 건강관련 삶의 질 개선을 위해서는 스트레스 관리의 전략적 접근이 무엇보다 중요하겠다.

The primary purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting health promoting lifestyles of college students on the basis of Pender's Health Promotion Model. The subjects were 1,159 students of one university in Seoul. These data were collected by self reporting questionnaire from April 19 to May 3, 1993. This study examined health promoting lifestyles, cognitive-percep-tual factors: perceived health status, perceived importance of health, health locus of control, and health conception, and modifying factors: sex, grade, major, residence type, and attendance at a health care course. The instruments used in this study were Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile by Walker et al. (1987), Health Value Scale by Wallston et al. (1976), Health Locus of Control by Wallston et al. (1978), and Health Conception Scale by Laffrey(1986). The data were analyzed by Cronbach's $\alpha$, mean, standard deviation, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Stepwise Multiple Regression with SPSS PC+ Program. The results were as follows : 1. The means of health promoting lifestyles revealed total 3.33, self actualization 3.74, health responsibility 2.72, exercise 2.80, nutrition 3.55, interpersonal surpport 3.76, and stress management 2.96. Interpersonal support showed the highest score and health responsibility showed the lowest score. 2. No significant differences between sex, grade, major, and residence type, and health promoting lifestyles Were founded(p>.05). Attendants at a health care course showed a significant higher score than nonattendants (p<.001). Male showed a significant higher score in exercise subscale, female showed significant higher scores in health responsibility, nutrition, interpersonal support, stress management subscales(p<.001), residence type showed a significant difference in nutrition subscale(p<.001). 3. No significant differences between perceived health status and sex, grade, major, residence type, and attendance at a health care course were founded(p>.05). Perceived importance of health showed no differences among sex, grade, major, and residence type(p>.05), showed only in attendance at a health care course (p<.001). Attendants at a health care course showed a significant higher score than nonattendants(p<.001). No significant differences between health conception and sex, grade, major, and residence type were founded (p>.05), only significant difference between health conception and attendance at a health care course was founded(p<.05). Nonattendants showed a significant higher score in clinical health conception, attendants showed a significant higher score in wellbeing health conception(p<.05). 4. A significant positive correlation between health promoting lifestyles and perceived health status was founded(r=.2415, p<.001). A significant positive correlation between health promoting lifestyles and perceived importance of health was founded (r=.1475, p<.001). The health promoting lifestyles revealed significant positive correlations in internal and powerful others locus of control (r=.3187, p<.001: r=.1475, p<.001), but revealed a significant negative correlation in chance locus of control(r=-.997, p<.001). A significant positive correlation between health promoting lifestyles and clinical health conception and wellbeing health conception were founded (r=.1241, p<.001 : r=.3047, p<.001). 5. Perceived health status was the highest factor predicting health promoting lifestyles of college students(R=.3415, $R^2=11.62$). Perceived health' status, perceived improtance of health, internal locus of control, wellbeing health conception, powerful others locus of control accounted for 28.19% in health promoting lifestyle patterns. In conclusion, college students who reported more helath promoting lifestyles evaluated their health positively, perceived importance of health highly, perceived their health as affected by theirselves, powerful others but not by chance or luck, and accepted health as high level wellness rather than merely the absence of illness. Those who attending at a health care course had healthier lifestyle patterns. And attendance at a health care course had significant. correlations in these cognitive-perceptual factors. Further studies are required to identify reasons of attending a health care course, and to compare health promoting lifestyles pre-post attending a course related to health care.
