Purpose : The purpose of this study is to identify satisfaction of adults who participate in healthy life practicing programs which are being provided by public health care centers.
Method : Data were drawn from 129 adults who have utilized healthy life practicing programs regarding exercise, nutrition, and non-smoking offered by 2 public health centers in Seoul, using a structured questionnaire from 18th, October 2013 to 19th, November 2013. Descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA with Scheffe’s test were applied for data analyses using SPSS Statistics 21.0.
Results : There were significant differences in satisfaction with healthy life practicing programs according to sex(F=6.848, p=.010), education level(F=5.289, p=.023), and age(F=5.950, p=.003). Also, satisfaction with healthy life practicing programs was significantly associated with degree of muscle strength exercise(F=4.881, p=.009). Satisfaction with exercise program was higher than satisfaction with nutrition healthy life practicing programs(t=5.997, p=.003).
Conclusion : The degree of satisfaction with healthy life practicing programs was different according to participants’ socio-demographic characteristics. Therefore, providers of healthy life practicing programs need to consider sex, age, and educational level of program participants to improve satisfaction with healthy life practicing programs.
