Abstract

This study is a retrospective and descriptive research to identify the factors affecting development of spontaneous abortion in women of childbearing age. The subjects totaled 198 females aged 20~45 who had experienced childbirth or spontaneous abortion at least once, and data was collected for one month since July 2019 through self-reporting questionnaires. The results showed that the factors affecting development of spontaneous abortion were use of panty liners (daily: reference, 1~2 times a week: B=-1.74, no: B=-0.77) and antimicrobials (often or a lot: reference, small or normal: B=-0.71, no: B=0.79), occupational groups (inoccupation: reference, service industry employee: B=0.73, white collar: B=1.22, professional: B=0.63, manager: B=1.54), and exposure-risk behavior toward endocrine-disrupting chemicals (B=0.81) during pregnancy, and their explanatory power for development of spontaneous abortion was 24.4% (R2=.24). As a result, it is necessary to prevent endocrine-disrupting chemicals exposure and pay attention to the occupational environment during pregnancy in order to reduce the development of spontaneous abortion.

본 연구는 가임기 여성의 자연 유산 발생에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위한 후향적 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 출산 또는 자연 유산의 임신 결과를 1회 이상 경험한 적이 있는 만 20~45세의 여성 198명이었으며, 구조화된 자가보고형 설문지를 이용하여 2019년 7월부터 한 달 동안 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과, 자연 유산 발생에 영향을 미치는 요인은 임신 중 팬티라이너(매일: 기준, 주 1~2회: B=-1.74, 사용하지 않음: B=-0.77)와 항균제 사용 양상(자주 또는 많이: 기준, 소량 또는 보통: B=-0.71, 사용하지 않음: B=0.79), 직업군(무직: 기준, 서비스 종사자: B=0.73, 사무직: B=1.22, 전문직: B=0.63, 관리자: B=1.54) 및 환경호르몬 노출 위험행위(B=0.81)였으며, 이들의 설명력은 24.4%(R2=.24)였다. 이러한 결과에 따라 자연 유산 발생을 감소시키기 위하여 임신 중 환경호르몬 노출을 예방하고 직업환경에 유의하는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.
