이 연구는 기후변화에 대한 예방 행동을 예측하여 기후변화 예방 행동 위험 커뮤니케이션 을 수행하는 과정에서 고려해야 할 점과 기후변화 예방 행동의 설명력을 높이기 위한 실질적인 대안을 제공하고자 하였다. 이에, 친환경 행동에 적용이 가능한 계획된 행동 이론을 적용했으며 또한 계획된 행동 이론의 추가 변인을 검토하여 계획된 행동 이론의 확장형 모델을 제안했다. 이를 위해 332명을 대상으로 기후변화 예방 행동 관련 개인 심리적 변수들을 측정하고자 온라인 조사를 진행했다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 기후변화 예방 행동에 대한 태도, 기후변화 예방 행동에 대한 주관적 규범, 자아효능감은 기후변화 예방 행동 의도에 양의 방향으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 기후변화 예방 행동 의도의 매개적 효과도 2개 설명변수에서 나타났다. 둘째, 자아효능감은 예방 행동에 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 직접 효과를 추가한 모델 보다 추가하지 않는 것이 본 자료에 더욱 부합하다는 분석 결과를 얻었다. 셋째, 계획된 행동 이론의 확장형 모델로 기후변화 관련 지식을 추가해 분석하였는데, 기후변화 지식은 기후변화 예방 행동 의도 및 예방 행동에 정적으로 영향을 미쳤으며 지식변수를 추가한 확장형 모델이 자료에 가장 부합한 모델로 밝혀졌다. 이 연구를 통해 계획된 행동 이론 모델의 설명력을 높일 수 있는 추가적인 변인을 발견할 수 있었으며 분석 결과를 통해 기후변화 예방 행동에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대하여 보다 구체적인 실무적 대안을 제시할 수 있었다.

This study was to predict preventive behavior against climate change and provide practical alternatives to increase the explanatory power of behaviors to prevent climate change and the points to be considered in the process of conducting risk communication to prevent climate change. Accordingly, the theory of planned behavior that can be applied to eco-friendly behavior was applied, and an extended model of the theory of planned behavior was proposed by examining additional variables of the theory of planned behavior. An online survey was conducted to measure individual psychological variables related to climate change preventive behavior of 332 people. As a result of the analysis, first, attitudes toward climate change preventive behavior, social norms on climate change preventive behavior, and self-efficacy were found to have positive effects on climate change preventive behavior intentions, The mediating effect of 'behavior intention to prevent climate change' was also found in two explanatory variables. Second, it was found that self-efficacy did not directly affect preventive behavior. It was found that the model without the direct effect was more suitable for this data than the model with the added effect. Third, as an extended model of the planned behavior theory, knowledge related to climate change was added and analyzed, and the knowledge of climate change had a positive effect on the intention and preventive behavior of climate change. The expansion model was found to be the best fit model for the data. Through this study, it was possible to discover additional variables that can enhance the explanatory power of the planned behavioral model, and to suggest more specific practical alternatives to factors influencing behaviors to prevent climate change.

This paper studied the influence of media use, social circumstances and optimistic bias on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. The hypotheses of the paper consist of three parts. First, the paper investigated the effects of media use on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. Second, the effects of social circumstances on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention were analyzed. Finally, the effect of optimistic bias on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention was analyzed. Those hypotheses were verified using a survey of 1000 adults in Korea conducted by the Korea Press Foundation. The results showed that women and older people were more likely to show preventive behavior intention. The uses of internet portal services and the government home page were positively related to but face-to-face communication was negatively related to COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. The evaluations of medical center response, and others response were positively related to COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. Finally, optimistic bias was negatively related to COVID-19 preventive behavior intention.

환경 개선을 위한 행동의 종류와 요구되는 수준이 다양화되면서 효과적 환경 메시지 개발의 필요성도 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구는 요구 수준이 다른 유형의 행동에 적합한 메시지를 개발하기 위해 메시지 특성인 메시지 프레이밍과 가치지향성을 활용하여 2(메시지 프레이밍: 이익/손실) × 2(가치지향성: 개인/사회) × 2(예방 행동 요구 수준: 높음/낮음) 실험을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 프레이밍과 행동 요구 수준은 메시지 태도와 행동의도에 주효과를 보였다. 손실 프레이밍보다 이익 프레이밍에서 호의적인 효과가 나타났고, 행동 요구 수준이 낮을 경우 높은 설득 효과가 나타났다. 상호작용 분석 결과, 개인지향 메시지에서는 이익 프레이밍의 행동 의도가 높았고, 사회지향 메시지에서는 프레이밍 간의 차이가 없었다. 또, 행동 요구 수준이 낮을 경우, 개인지향 메시지에서 이익 프레이밍의 메시지 태도가 손실 프레이밍보다 호의적으로 나타났다. 반면 행동 요구 수준이 높을 경우, 사회지향 메시지에서 이익 프레이밍의 메시지 태도가 손실 프레이밍보다 호의적으로 나타났다. 행동 요구 수준에 따른 상호작용 형태의 차이는 있었으나, 개인지향 이익 프레이밍 메시지가 가장 효과적으로 나타났다.

As the types of actions and the magnitude of the required actions for environmental improvement get diversified, the necessity to develop effective messages is increasing. This research tries to develop proper messages with message characteristics of message framing and value orientation per different types of behaviors using a 2(message framing: gain/loss) × 2(value orientation: individual/social) × 2(magnitude of the requested behaviors: high/low). The results showed that framing and the magnitude of the requested behaviors had main effects on message attitudes and behavioral intentions. The gain framing showed more favorable effects than the loss framing, and the low magnitude of the requested behaviors showed better persuasive effects. According to the results of interaction effects, the gain framing showed higher behavioral intentions than the loss framing in the individual-oriented message, and there were no differences between the frames in the social-oriented message. When the magnitude of the requested behavior was high, the gain framing in the individual-oriented message was more favorable than the loss framing. On the other hand, when the magnitude of the requested behavior was low, the gain framing in the social-oriented message was more favorable. Although there were differences in the form of interactions by the magnitude of the requested behaviors, the individual-oriented gain framing message was found to be the most effective.

This study was designed to identify the relationship between preventive behavior and health belief about Hepatitis A among young adults. Methods: The sample consisted of 197 participants between the ages of twenty and forty. The data were collected from May 3 to May 30 2011 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test,x^2 test, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Preventive Behavior's Scale about Hepatitis A and Health Belief's Scale about Hepatitis A were used for data collection. Results: The mean scores of health behavior (2.97±0.34)and preventive behavior (2.46±0.30) about Hepatitis A were about average degree. The participant's characteristics with preventive behavior were significantly different according to type of residence (x^2=4.74, p =.040),experience of obtained knowledge about Hepatitis A (x^2=5.68 p =.018) and attitude about Hepatitis A (x^2=15.20,p<.001). Significant correlations were found between health behavior and preventive behavior with Hepatitis A (r=.20, p =.005). The preventive behavior had a significant positive correlation with susceptibility (r=.22, p =.001),severity (r=.17, p =.015), and benefit (r=.32, p<.001) towards Hepatitis A as the details of the health belief. Conclusion: These findings indicate that health belief may be necessary to improve compliance with preventive behavior on Hepatitis A among young adults. It is necessary to develop the strategy of reinforcing health belief in complying with preventive behavior for preventing the occurrence of Hepatitis A.

코로나19의 대유행이 지속되며 감염병 확산 방지를 위해 개인들의 생활 속 예방 수칙 준수를 강조하는 다양한 헬스 캠페인이 실시되고 있다. 본 연구는 코로나19 확산 방지를 위해서 개인의 감염 예방행동 의도가 중요함을 인식하고 이를 건강신념 모델의 적용을 통해 알아보았다. 또한, 공동체 행동이 요구되는 상황임을 고려하여 건강신념모델에 사회적 변인을 추가한 사회적 건강신념모델을 제시하고자 한다. 온라인 설문을 통해(N=298), 각 변인의 영향력을 검증한 결과 지각된 심각성, 지각된 취약성, 지각된 이익, 위험, 사회적 규범이 높을수록, 책임이 낮을수록 예방 행동 의도가 유의미하게 높아지는 것을 확인했다. 이 중 위험이 가장 큰 상대적 영향력을 보였고 지각된 심각성과 사회적 규범이 그 뒤를 이었다. 기존 건강신념모델과 본 연구에서 제안한 사회적 건강신념모델의 예방행동 의도 설명력을 비교한 결과 사회적 건강신념모델이 더 높은 설명력을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

The unprecedented pandemic caused by the COVID-19 has led to a massive global public health campaign to slow the spread of the virus. Thus, this study examines the importance of individual's prevention behavior intention by adapting health belief model(HBM). In addition, we added social variables to understand the prevention behavior better considering the situation in which collective behaviors are important. The online survey results(N=298) showed that higher level of perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived peril, perceived social norms and lower level of perceived responsibility led to higher prevention behavior intention. Peril was the most influential factor among all the variables. In addition, perceived severity and social norms followed after that. Additional analysis also implied that socio-HBM model we proposed better explained the prevention behavior intention than traditional HBM.

본 연구는 미세먼지에 대한 위험인식태도와 불안이 미세먼지 예방행동의도에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것을 목적 으로 했다. 또한, 위험인식태도모델(RPA)의 적용대상과 범위를 확장하기 위해서 불안 변인을 추가하였다. 570명의 대 학생을 대상으로 진행한 설문조사를 진행하였으며, 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 상관관계분석 및 일원배치분산분석, 삼원변 량분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 미세먼지에 대한 지각된 위험과 효능감이 예방행동의도와 정보추구의도에 통계적으로 유의미 한 것으로 나타났다. 불안도 예방행동의도와 정보추구에 유의미하게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. RPA 모델의 4 태도집단으로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 각 집단별로 예방행동의도와 정보추구의도에서 유의미한 차이를 보였으며, 불안 요인이 일부 태도집단에 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 미세먼지 예방캠페인에서 태도집단에 맞는 메시지의 계획과 실행이 필요함을 시사한다. 후속 연구에서 사회심리학 변인 등의 영향을 고려한다면, 미세먼지 관련 건강행동을 파악하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

본 연구는 미세먼지 예방행동의도에 영향을 미치는 결정요인을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 했다. 280명의 대학생들 을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과, 미세먼지에 대한 지각된 민감성과 지각된 장애는 예방행동의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 그러나 미세먼지에 대한 지각된 심각성과 지각된 이익, 주관적 규범과 자기효능감은 예방행동 의도에 통계적으로 유의한 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 대학생들의 미세먼지 예방행동 의도를 높이기 위해서는 지각된 심각성과 지각된 이익, 주관적 규범과 자기효능감을 높일 수 있는 커뮤니케이션 전략이 요구되며, 향후 미세먼지와 같은 환경위험에 대한 예방행동을 설명하는데 있어 일정 부분 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of preventive behavior intention to the particulate matter. The results based on the survey of 280 university students showed that the perceived susceptibility and barriers to the particulate matter do not have statistically significant effects on the preventive behavior intention. However, perceived severity and benefits, subjective norm, and self-efficacy to the particulate matter had statistically significant positive effects on the preventive behavior intention. The results of this study suggested that communication strategies to increase perceived severity and benefits, subjective norm and self-efficacy should be required to improve the degree of preventive behavior intention to the particulate matter of college students. It is expected to contribute explaining preventive actions against environmental hazards such as air pollution in the future.

2019년말 처음으로 코로나19가 보고된 이래로 2년 이상 동안 전세계는 팬데믹으로 고통을 받고 있다. 우리나라 정부는 주도적으로 코로나19 방어를 위해 다양한 예방정책을 펼쳤다. 일부 예방정책은 국민에게 고통과 불편을 다소 초래했다. 이러한 맥락에서 어떠한 요소들이 한국인들의 사회적 거리두기 동참에 영향을 미쳤는지를 이해하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 본 연구는 116명의 대학생을 대상으로 편의적 표집방법을 통해 구글의 온라인 서베이도구(Google Form)을 활용하여 조사를 실시하였다. 조사는 2020년 12월 30일부터 2021년 1월 8일까지 10일간에 걸쳐 이루어졌다. 본 연구는 지각된 취약성, 지각된 심각성, 지각된 건강상태, 관여수준 및 정부정책에 대한 신뢰를 단계적 방법(stepwise method)으로 다중회귀방정식에 투입하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 최종모델에서 지각된 취약성, 관여수준, 및 정부정책에 대한 신뢰가 사회적 거리두기 의도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과는 사람들이 코로나19에 대해 취약하다고 인식할수록, 또 사람들의 코로나19에 대한 관여수준이 높을수록, 그리고 사람들이 정부정책에 대해 신뢰할수록, 거리두기 실천에 더 동의한다는 것을 의미한다.

For over two years, after COVID-19 was first reported in the last quarter of 2019, the world has suffered from the pandemic. The Korean government has taken an initiative and has implemented a variety of policies to protect people from COVID-19. These policies have resulted in some suffering and inconvenience for people. In this context, we aim to find out what factors influence Korean college students' intention to social distance. We surveyed with Google's online survey tool(Google Form) for 116 Korean college students using a convenient sampling from December 30, 2020, to January 8, 2021. We put perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived health status, level of involvement, and trust in the policy as independent variables into a multiple regression equation using the stepwise method. We found that intention to social distance was predicted by perceived susceptibility, level of involvement, and trust in the policy in the final model. The findings mean that the more people perceive themselves susceptible to COVID-19, and the more they get involved with COVID-19, and the more they trust their governmental policies on COVID-19, the more they agree on social distancing.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing dementia preventive behavior intention of the elderly people based on the Health Belief Model. Methods: The participants included 113 elderly people who met the eligibility criteria. Demographic variables, variables of the Health Belief Model (perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, cues to action, general health motivation, and self efficacy), dementia fear and behavioral intention of dementia prevention were examined using structured self-report questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed by stepwise multiple regression using SPSS for Windows version 21. Results: Self efficacy, alcohol drinking, perceived barrier and education level were significant factors, which explained 32% of the variance in dementia preventive behavior intention. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that a powerful predictor of dementia preventive behavior intention of the elderly was self efficacy. Conclusion: Developing nursing intervention to enhance self efficacy toward improvement of dementia preventive behavior among elderly people would be recommended.

Purpose: This study was aimed to identify the influencing factors associated with respiratory infectious disease prevention behaviors of adolescents by examining the relationships >among knowledge, attitude, and practice. Methods: The study included 147 middle and high school students in G provinces. The data were collected from November to December 2023. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions regarding the knowledge of respiratory infection preventive behaviors, 11 questions on attitude of respiratory infection preventive behaviors, and 14 questions on practice of respiratory infection preventive behaviors. The collected data were analyzed in multiple regression analysis. Results: The participants’ knowledge of respiratory infection preventive behaviors was 10.47±2.06, attitude of those preventive behaviors 3.71±0.39 and practice of those behaviors 3.38±0.45. Factors affecting practice of respiratory infection preventive behaviors were attitude of respiratory infection preventive behaviors (β=.63, p<.001), and taking health education for infectious disease (β=.24, p<.001). Conclusion: Findings of the study can be used as essential data for developing strategies respiratory infection preventing behavior practice promoting school health. It is necessary to develop various intervention measures based on the causal relationship and structural model related to the practice of respiratory infectious disease prevention behaviors and the practice of respiratory infectious disease prevention behaviors to induce positive attitudes.

Purpose: The research aimed to investigate the factors affecting cancer preventive behavior among patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods: Data were collected from 126 patients who underwent ESD for EGC and who were recruited from a single university affiliated hospital, Seoul, Korea. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The average score of cancer preventive behavior was 66.87±10.36 out of 90. Correlations between attitude toward cancer and preventive behavior regarding cancer were positive (r=.26, p=.004). Also, the regression analyses revealed that factors affecting cancer preventive behavior included perception of cancer screening, attitude toward cancer, and age. A history of drinking alcohol on the other hand was negatively related to cancer preventive behavior. The regression analyses explained 31% of variance (F=6.50, p=.037). Conclusion: These results suggest that nurses should develop a program for risk groups (people who drink alcohol regularly, are under the age of 65 and who have poor self-health care after ESD). And such a program should include interventions to improve attitudes toward cancer and perception of cancer screening, and encourage physical activity.
