Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate using of diet therapy materials and the compliance of diet therapy by distribution of body weight in diabetic patients. The percentage of diabetic patients who was distributed by BMI was 18.5% in under weight group, 51.5% in normal weight group, 16.9% in over weight group and 13.1% in obesity group. Of 130 diabetic patients, 62.3% experienced weight loss after the diagnosis. 35.4% of the diabetic patients had ever been in the hospital. 38.5% of the diabetic patients had prevalence of the complications. Knowledge for diet therapy showed low score in over weight and obesity group, specially in the items on the amount of food that I have to consume or the method selecting foods using the food exchange list. Diet therapy practice was also lower in obesity group than the other groups. Most of diabetic patients thought the diet therapy was important and got diet therapy materials through dietitian or doctor. But using of diet therapy materials was 50.0% in under weight group, 41.8% in normal weight group. 22.7% in over weight group and 35.3% in obesity group. Food exchange list was diet therapy item considered as the most difficult for diabetic patients to understand. Diet therapy items considered as the most necessary by diabetic patients were to be attended to choose foods and how to make out menu. This study showed that the diabetic patients were different in using of diet therapy materials or diet therapy practice by distribution of body weight. Therefore it is suggested that the program composed of necessary contents by body weight distribution of diabetic patients need to be developed.

본 연구는 당뇨병 환자들의 체중분포별 식사요법 이행 및 자료의 활용 실태를 알아보기 위 해 부산 지역에 있는 보건소 및 종합병원을 방문하여 설문 조사하였다. 조사대상자의 체중분포는 BMI법에 의해 저체중군, 정상체중군, 과체중군, 비만군으로 나누었으며 저체중군이 18.5%, 정상체중군이 51.5%, 과체중군이 16.9%, 비만군이 13.1%이었다. 유병기간은 59.2%가5년 미만이었고, 당뇨 관리 기간중 체중이 감소한 환자가 62.3%, 당뇨병으로 입원한 경험이 있는 환자는 35.4%, 합병증이 있는 환자는 38.5%를 차지했다. 체중분포별로 식사요법 지식 정도를 살펴 본 결과 각 항목의 총점에서 비만군 및 과체중군이 낮았으며 특히 하루 열량 필요량과 식품교환표에 관한 항목의 지식정도가 낮았다. 식사요법 실천 정도 역시 비만군 및 과체중군이 낮았으며 특히 외식시 실천정도가 가장 낮아서 외식시 식사요법 실천 방안에 대한 교육이 필요하였다. 당뇨병 환자들의 대부분은 식사요법 자료를 전문인을 통해 얻었고 식사요법이 중요하다고 인식은 하고 있었으나, 실행하는데 문제가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 앞으로는 환자들에게 식사요법을 실천할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고 아울러 실천정도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 것이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 식사요법 자료의 활용은 저 체중군이 50.0%, 정상체중군이 41.8%, 과체중군이 22.7%, 비만군이 35.3%이었으며, 식품교환표를 이용하여 식사요법을 실천하는 환자는 더욱 적었다. 식사요법 자료에서 당뇨병 환자들이 이해하기 힘든 내용은 식품교환표, 실제 섭취할 식품의 양, 끼니별 교환단위수 배분, 1일 총 열량 계산법 등이었으며, 가장 필요로 하는 내용은 식단작성방법, 식품 선택시 유의사항, 외식시 메뉴 선택방법 등이었다. 이처럼 당뇨병 환자들은 식사요법 지식이나 실천정도, 자료의 활용실태, 필요로 하는 내용 등이 체중분포에 따라 각기 달랐기에, 앞으로 당뇨병 프로그램을 만들 때 이들이 필요로 하는 내용, 이해하기 어려워하는 내용 등을 충분히 고려한 후 당뇨병 환자들의 체중분포별로 쉽고 체계적인 교육자료를 개발하여야 할 것이다.
