ABSTRACT
Regular health checkups allow early treatment when problems occur and prevent disease progression, but the rate of health checkups among young adults is low. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the intentions to receive health checkups among young adults in their 20s in Korea. The study design was a descriptive cross-sectional study and examined their intentions to receive health checkups, their health beliefs (perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, cue to action, self-efficacy), their attitude toward health checkups, and their knowledge of health checkups. The participants were 252 adults in their 20s in South Korea who were eligible for national health checkups. The intentions to receive check-ups model identified five variables, including sex, perceived sensitivity, cue to action, self-efficacy, and attitudes toward health checkups, were as significant influencing factors for the intentions to receive health checkups with 51.0% explanatory power (F = 53.18, p < 0.001). Different approaches must be adopted according to past experiences with health checkups when attempting to improve the intentions to receive health checkups in young adults.
