Abstract

Purpose: Patients with pulmonary disease are more vulnerable to Particulate Matter (PM). It is important to promotehealth behaviors to minimize negative effects. This study aims to investigate risk perception, knowledge, andPM-related health behaviors in patients with pulmonary disease and identify the factors affecting PM-related healthbehaviors.
Methods: Participants were 201 patients with pulmonary disease who visited the outpatient clinic in ahospital. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and medical records from December 2019to February 2020. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-wayANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: The average score ofPM-related health behaviors was 22.79±4.43. In multiple regression analysis, factors affecting PM-related healthbehaviors were participants with higher risk perception of PM (p<.001) and with longer pulmonary disease (p=.006). Moreover, participants who smoked previously but not currently (p<.001) and had never smoked (p=.001) hadhigher level of health behaviors than those who smoke.
Conclusion: Patients with pulmonary disease reported tohave high level of overall PM-related health behaviors, but their performance on health behaviors that requiredknowledge was reported to be insufficient. Therefore, a patient-tailored educational program is needed to improvePM-related health behaviors by emphasizing risk perception related to PM. Special attention should be given tosmokers and patients who experience a short disease period to improve PM-related health behaviors.
