This study measured levels of health literacy, drug knowledge, and drug misuse behavior and analyzed the relationship among major variables related to 137 North Korean refugees who could only receive limited medical benefits owing to cultural and linguistic barriers.
The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient using SPSS.
The subjects' health literacy and drug knowledge levels were low; however, drug misuse behavior was not high. The drug dosage was significant considering the health literacy of the subjects; notably, the functional health literacy of women was high. However, many drug misuse cases were identified among women in their 40s. Health literacy and drug knowledge levels showed a significant relationship.
It is necessary to provide community-based information to vulnerable groups to ensure safe use of medications and to develop a level-based and tailored educational program considering North Korean refugees' literacy levels and cultural characteristics.
本研究测量了健康素养、药物知识和药物滥用行为水平，并分析了137名因文化和语言障碍只能获得有限医疗福利的朝鲜难民相关主要变量之间的关系。
使用SPSS对数据进行描述性统计、t检验和Pearson相关系数分析。
受试者的健康素养和药物知识水平较低；然而，药物滥用行为并不严重。考虑到受试者的健康素养，药物剂量具有显著性；值得注意的是，女性的功能性健康素养较高。然而，40多岁的女性中发现了许多药物滥用案例。健康素养和药物知识水平显示出显著关系。
有必要向弱势群体提供基于社区的信息，以确保安全用药，并根据朝鲜难民的识字水平和文化特征制定分级和量身定制的教育计划。
