Abstract
Purpose: In this study, potential demographic, social, and economic factors causing tuberculosis were identified, and eight cities in South Chungcheong Province were compared and analyzed with the IPA method. Method: The factors potentially affecting the prevalence of tuberculosis were categorized demographically, socially, and economically, and selected through brainstorming. Furthermore, potential factors affecting tuberculosis were derived using the revised IPA. Based on this analysis, areas with a potential risk of tuberculosis were classified, and the following policy implications were suggested. Result: The analysis found the three cities of Nonsan, Boryeong, and Gongju to have the highest potential risk of tuberculosis, and the frequency of potential risk factors in the above three cities to be 6 or more. Thus, an urgent policy response to prevent tuberculosis in these regions is required. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is necessary to take potential risk factors into account when promoting tuberculosis prevention policies and projects in South Chungcheong Province.
연구목적: 본 연구에서는 결핵에 걸릴 수 있는 잠재적인 인구, 사회, 경제적 영향요인들을 도출하고, IPA분석을 활용하여 충청남도 8개 시를 비교·분석하였다. 연구방법: 결핵에 잠재적으로 영향을 미치는 요인들을 인구, 사회, 경제측면에서 분류하고, 브레인 스토밍을 통하여 선정하였다. 그리고, 응용된 IPA분석을 통하여 결핵에 영향을 미치는 잠재적 요인을 도출하였다, 분석된 결과를 토대로 잠재적으로 결핵발생에 위험한 지역을 구분하고, 그에 따른 정책적 시사점을 제시한다. 연구결과: 분석결과, 논산시·보령시·공주시가 결핵과 관련된 잠재적 위험도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 잠재적 위험요인에 대한 빈도수는 논산시·보령시·공주시가 6개 이상인 것으로 도출되었으며, 이 지역에 대한 적극적인 결핵 예방정책 및 사업이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 향후 충청남도 결핵 관련 예방정책 및 사업 추진시 잠재적 위험도에 대한 고려가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
