Objective : This study attempted to analyze the perception of dementia disease according to demographic characteristics. This can be used as basic data for dementia awareness education
Methods : In order to analyze the awareness of dementia diseases according to demographic and sociological char
acteristics, data from KSDC's 2021 Public Perception Survey on Dementia Terms were used.
1,200 people participated, and the survey period was eight days from May 18 to May 28, 2021, and data were collected through a telephone interview survey method. The general characteristics of the subjects were analyzed with frequency. The recognition of dementia diseases according to gender, marital status, educational background, dementia family status, and cohabitation was independently tested, and Pearson's correlation was analyzed for recognition of dementia diseases according to age and education. The statistical significance level was 0.05.
Results : The awareness of dementia disease showed a significant difference according to gender and marital status, and there was no significant difference in the presence or absence of dementia families and whether they lived together with dementia families. The perception of dementia disease, age, and education level all showed negative (-) correlations.
Conclusion : It was conducted to find out the difference and correlation between dementia disease awareness and various demographic variables, and it was intended to provide basic data to establish policy directions for preventing and managing dementia.
