Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of a health promotion program on the health condition of rural elderly women implemented at primary health care posts using Korean Frailty Index. Methods: The research was designed a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest setting. The participants in this study were 50 residents (intervention group: 25, control group: 25) selected from 4 villages 2 primary health care posts in J city Gyeongsangnam-do. The health promotion program was conducted at the primary health care posts twice a week for 12 weeks. This program consisted of basic exercises(Gukseondo + Theraband muscle strength training) and additional activities(including modified Theraband activity, rubber ball exercise, ball massage, nutrition class, singing class). Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS 21.0. Results: Results of the health promotion program showed that the health conditions(measured by perceived health status, frailty score, upper/lower flexibility, maximum grip strength, dynamic balance test Timed Up and Go) of the experimental group(25) all statistical significantly improved. Conclusion: Study findings indicate that the health promotion program implemented at primary health care posts on rural elderly women is effective and can contribute to a developed health promotion program for local residents in the future.

이 연구는 J시 일부 보건진료소에서 실시한 건강증진프로그램이 농촌여성노인 노쇠정도 확인을 위한 건강상태(지각된 건강상태, 노쇠 점수, 상 하체 유연성, 최대악력, 동적평형검사 Timed Up and Go)에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위함으로 대한노인병학회에서 개발한 한국형 노쇠측정도구 8개 항목을 통해 보건진료소 관할지역 노인들의 노쇠수준을 파악하고, 농촌 여성노인들의 노쇠수준에 맞는 12주 건강증진프로그램을 적용하였다. 건강증진프로그램(프로그램명: ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$보건진료소와 주민이 함께 만드는 하하호호 백세건강마을 만들기)은 J시 보건진료소 특성화 사업의 한 부분으로 연구자인 보건진료전담공무원이 전문가의 자문을 얻어 농촌여성 노인들에게 적합하도록 수정 보완하여 실시하였다. 연구 결과 노쇠측정도구 8개 항목을 통한 노쇠점수도 실험군이 대조군에 비해서 유의한 차이를 보였는데, 8개 항목 중 주관적인 현재 건강상태와 우울한 감정의 개선이 노쇠점수가 향상에 특히 도움이 되었다. 건강상태 변화로 왼쪽 상체유연성은 실험군이 약 2배(+17cm), 오른쪽 상체유연성은 +11cm, 하체유연성은 실험군이 +6cm 증가하였고, 대조군은 거의 변화가 없어 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 노인의 근력평가로 최대악력은 실험군이 약+4kg 증가하였고, 동적 균형 검사(Timed Up and Go test)는 실험군이 3초 빨라지고 대조군은 거의 변화가 없어 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 이 연구에서 실시한 건강증진프로그램이 상 하체 유연성 및 근력, 민첩성 등 운동능력을 향상하는 데 도움이 되었다고 볼 수 있다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 의료취약지역 보건 진료소 관할 인구의 평균수명 연장과 고령화로 노쇠한 농촌 노인들의 특성을 반영한 근력강화 및 유연성 운동과 인지개선 활동 등 다양한 건강증진프로그램의 지속적인 개발과 프로그램의 표준화를 통한 확대 적용이 필요하다.
