본 연구에서는 한국 제칠일안식일예수재림교인들의 건강행동, A유형행동, 대처방식 및 신체증상이 일반인의 그것과 차이가 있는지를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 참여자는 30세 미만의 남녀 대학생 346명(재림교인 129명, 비재림교인 217명)과 30세 이상의 성인 335명(재림교인 158명, 비재림교인 177명)이다. 본 연구에서 사용된 도구는 Framingham A행동유형 검사, AUDIT(Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), 다차원 대처 척도, 및 전겸구의 신체증상척도이다. 분석 결과, 재림교인은 일반인과 다른 식생활 양식을 보였고 음주와 흡연을 덜 하는 것으로 나타났다. 재림교인의 대처방식은 일반인과 달랐지만, A행동유형과 보고된 신체증상에서는 두 집단 간에 차이가 없었다. 단계적 회귀분석에서는 A행동유형이 대상자의 신체증상을 예언하는 가장 유의한 예언변인으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 재림교인의 건강에 관한 서양의 선행연구들과 비교하며 논의하였다.
This study examined the differences in health behavior, type A behavior patterns, coping styles, physical symptoms between Korean Adventists and non-Adventists. The participants were 346 college students (129 Adventists and 217 non-Adventists) and 335 adults over 30 years old (158 Adventists and 177 non-Adventists). The instruments utilized in the present study were the Framingham Tape A Behavior Pattern Scale, AUDIT(Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), the Multidimensional Coping Scale, and Chon's Physical Symptom Questionnaire. Results indicated that Adventists' dietary styles were significantly different from non-Adventists' dietary styles, and Adventists consumed less alcoholic beverage and cigarette than non-Adventists did. Although Adventist's coping styles were different from non-Adventist's coping styles, there were no differences in level of type A behavior pattern and reported physical symptoms between those two groups. A forward stepwise regression analysis revealed that type A behavior patterns accounted for most variance of physical symptoms. Results of this study were discussed with antecedent studies on Adventist's health in United States and other countries.
