Abstract

This study is a qualitative study that conducted one-on-one in-depth interviews and focus group interviews to understand the meaning of the experience of participating in a cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention management program using a mobile app for middle-aged female workers. The subjects of this study were 26 female workers over 50 years of age who participated in a cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention program using a mobile app in a department store. Participating experience derived from the research result were 'Pleasure of getting to know', 'Activation of mutually friendly relations', 'health concerns take care of me ', 'Accepting an unfamiliar culture', 'Convenience as if receiving counseling anywhere. Through these results, it was shown that the mobile app improves the will to practice health behavior, and it is suggested that a standard to guarantee that the mobile app is a safe program is necessary to reduce anxiety about unfamiliar programs when installing the mobile app.

본 연구는 중년여성 근로자를 대상으로 모바일 앱을 활용한 심뇌혈관질환 예방관리 프로그램 참여 경험에 대한 의미를 파악하기 위해 일대일 심층면담 및 포커스 그룹 인터뷰(Focus Group Interview, FGI)를 실시한 질적 연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 일 백화점에서 모바일 앱을 활용하여 심뇌혈관질환 예방프로그램에 참여하고 있는 50세 이상의 여성 근로자 26명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 도출된 참여경험은 '알아가는 것에 대한 즐거움', '상호 우호적 관계의 활성화', '건강에 대한 관심이 나를 관리하게 함', '익숙하지 않은 문화를 받아들임', '어디서나 상담을 받는 듯한 편리함'의 주제가 도출되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 모바일 앱이 건강행위 실천의지를 향상시키는 것으로 나타났고, 모바일 앱을 설치 시 낯선 프로그램에 대한 불안을 감소하기 위해 안전한 프로그램임을 보증할 수 있는 인증기준이 필요함을 제언한다.
