Abstract

This study was to investigate the effects of workers' attitudes to internet health information(AIHI), e-health literacy(eHL) on internet health information seeking behavior(IHISB) and health-related behavioral intention(HBI). 152 workers conducted the structured questionnaires from May to July 2017. Data analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Factors affecting IHISB were identified to be eHL (${\beta}=.33$, p<.011), and perceived usefulness for internet health information(PU)(${\beta}=.28$, p=.002), and factors affecting HBI were identified to be PU(${\beta}=.33$, p=.001), information utilization(IU)(${\beta}=.24$, p=.003), and eHL(${\beta}=.18$, p=.002). As above results, considering the eHL of workers, it is necessary to build an internet health information system and develop education program that increase IU.

본 연구의 목적은 직장인의 인터넷 건강정보에 대한 태도, e-헬스 리터러시가 건강정보 추구행동과 건강관련 행위의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위함이다. 서울, 경기도, 충청도 거주하고 있는 직장인 152명에게 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 자료는 t-test, ANOVA, 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 건강정보 추구행동 영향요인으로는 e-헬스 리터러시(${\beta}=.33$, p<.011)와 인터넷 건강정보에 대한 지각된 유용성(${\beta}=.28$, p=.002)이, 건강관련 행위의도 영향요인으로는 인터넷 건강정보에 대한 지각된 유용성(${\beta}=.33$, p=.001)과 정보활용도(${\beta}=.24$, p=.003), e-헬스리터러시(${\beta}=.18$, p=.002)가 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 직장인의 e-헬스 리터러시를 고려하여 정보활용도를 높이는 인터넷 건강정보의 전달시스템 구축과 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
