초록

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 강원특별자치도 춘천 지역에 거주하는 노인을 대상으로 연하장애의 유병률을 조사하고, 연하장애와 관련된 삶의 질과 교육 요구도를 확인하는 것이다. 연구방법 : 2023년 8월 1일부터 15일까지 강원특별자치도 춘천 지역에 위치한 3개 노인복지관에서 지역사회 거주 노인 207명을 대상으로 단면조사를 실시하였다. 일반적인 특성, Korean-version of Eating Assessment Tool (K-EAT-10), Korean-version of Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (K-SWAL- QOL), 연하장애 관련 교육 요구도를 확인하고, K-EAT-10 3점을 기준으로 연하장애 정상군과 위험군을 나누었다. 카이제곱과 독립표본 t검정을 이용하여 두 그룹 간 차이를 분석하였다. 결과 : K-EAT-10 총점 3점 이상인 연하장애 위험군의 유병률은 41.5% (86명)였다. 자신에게 연하장애 증상이 있음을 인지한 92명 중 64명(69.6%)이 연하장애 위험군에 속하였다. 정상군과 위험군 간 삶의 질에는 유의미한 차이가 있었으며, 독거노인과 의치 사용 불편한 노인에서 위험도가 높았다. 교육 요구도는 단단한 음식을 잘 먹는 능력 교육을 가장 선호(Mean = 4.27점)하였으며, 연하장애 정상군보다 위험군에서 높게 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통해 지역사회 거주 노인의 연하장애 유병률, 삶의질, 교육 요구도를 확인하였다. 이에 따라, 연하장애 유병률이 높은 노인을 대상으로 한 예방 프로그램 개발과 조기 발견 및 예방을 위한 홍보 및 교육 프로그램의 필요성을 강조한다. 이러한 프로그램은 연하 재활 전문가의 중요성을 강조하며, 지역사회에서 적극적인 협력을 통해 노인의 건강한 노후를 지원하는 정책과 프로그램이 필요할 것이다.

Abstract

Objective : This study investigated the prevalence of dysphagia in older adults in Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province and its impact on Quality of Life (QoL) and educational needs. Methods : A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 1 to 15, 2023, with 207 cognitively normal older adults from three senior welfare centers. Data included general characteristics, Korean-version of the Eating Assessment Tool (K-EAT-10), Swallowing-QoL, and educational needs related to swallowing disorders. Dysphagia was defined by a K-EAT-10 score of 3 or higher. Participants were divided into normal and risk groups for analysis using chi-square and Independent t-test. Results : The prevalence of dysphagia risk (K-EAT-10 score of 3 or higher) was 41.5% (86 individuals). Among the 92 individuals reporting dysphagia symptoms, 64 (69.6%) were at risk. QoL was significantly lower in the risk group, especially among those living alone or with denture discomfort. The most preferred educational need was training in eating solid foods (Mean = 4.27), with higher needs in the dysphagia risk group. Conclusion : This study underscores the prevalence of dysphagia, its impact on QoL, and the need for educational programs. Emphasizing prevention, public awareness, and early detection, along with the role of dysphagia rehabilitation experts and community collaboration, is essential for supporting healthy aging.
