Also, this study examined the effects of knowledge of TB on TB preventivebehavior, and the mediating effect of optimistic bias. A total of 228 army soldiers participated in this study. Datacollection was collected from November 28 to December 26, 2016 using a questionnaire. Data analysis was performedby SPSS/WIN 23.0 using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, three-step mediated regression, and multipleregression. As a result, It was founded that the army soldiers recognized low level of knowledge of TB(13.00±5.39),there was an optimistic bias(2.68±1.41) and moderate mean level of TB preventive behavior(42.44±5.54). Knowledgeof TB had significant positive correlations with TB preventive behavior(r=.222, p=.001) and optimistic bias(r=.143,p=.031). There was no mediating effect of optimistic bias on tuberculosis prevention behavior. The factors influencingTB preventive behavior were current smoking(β=-.261), knowledge of tuberculosis(β=.144), and experience of tuberculosiseducation(β=.136), and explanatory power was 17.2%. Based on the result, it is necessary to develop a strategyto promote prevention of TB by developing and applying a smoking cessation management and customized tuberculosiseducation program for Army soldiers.
