Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the factors for the development of the Gangwon's Health-Plus Community Program into the health community organization. Methods: Participants of the study consisted of a total of 8 individuals, including trainers, residents, and public health center officials. Data were collected through in-depth interviews from August to October 2022. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Results: According to the results, the factors that enabled the Gangwon's Health-Plus Community Program to develop into a health community organization are as follows. First, participants believed that residents could do well by themselves, Second, participants met with residents rather than existing leaders. Third, education that encouraged residents to speak and positive assessment was implemented. Fourth, projects were started based on what residents wanted to do. Fifth, participants waited for residents to take action. Sixth, participants engaged with residents instead of just observing. Seventh, participants did not demand short-term outcomes. Conclusions: This study will contribute to the progression of community participatory health promotion programs towards a health community organization aimed at community empowerment.

이 연구는 강원도 건강플러스 마을사업이 건강주민운동으로의 발전 과정과 강원도 건강플러스 마을사업의 시기별 특징을 분석하고 건강주민운동으로 발전할 수 있었던 요인을 도출하기 위하여 주민, 보건소 담당자, 트레이너들에 대한 심층 면담으로 자료를 수집하여 주제분석 방법으로 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 강원도 건강플러스 마을사업이 건강주민운동으로 발전할 수 있었던 요인은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주민 스스로 할 수 있다고 믿었다. 둘째, 이·통장이 아닌 일반 주민을 만났다. 셋째, 주민이 말하게 하는 교육과 긍정적 평가를 시행하였다. 넷째, 주민이 하고 싶은 사업에서 시작했다. 다섯째, 주민이 행동할 때까지 기다렸다. 여섯째, 기다린다는 것은 방관이 아니라 지속적인 동화 과정이다. 일곱째, 단기적 성과를 요구하지 않았다. 주민참여형 건강증진사업이 건강주민운동으로 나아가기 위해서는 이 연구에서 도출된 발전요인을 참고한다면 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
