1인가구 장년 성인(50∼64세)의 인플루엔자 백신 접종률에 영향을 미치는 요인

초록

Purpose: Based on Anderson’s model of health service utilization, we investigated the factors that affect the influenza vaccination status in Korean adults aged 50–64 years, who live alone. Methods: Data of 194 Korean adults aged 50–64 years, who live alone were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 7th Edition (2016–2018). Descriptive statistics and a multiple logistic regression model were used for statistical analysis. Results: The influenza vaccination rate in the study population was 39.3%. Educational status and health behaviors such as smoking habits and regular medical check-up were associated with the influenza vaccination rate in Korean adults aged 50–64 years, who live alone. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that educational level lower than middle school graduation (odds ratio [OR] 2.02), non-smoking status (OR 1.98), and lack of regular medical check-up (OR 0.62) were significantly associated with the influenza vaccination rate in Korean adults aged 50–64 years, who live alone. Conclusion: The influenza vaccination rate in Korean adults aged 50–64 years, who live alone, is relatively low; therefore, policies should be implemented to improve the influenza vaccination rate in this population. Influenza vaccination in single households was affected by health promotion activities; therefore, interventions are warranted to encourage overall health promotion activities.
