Abstract

Purpose: This study is to verify and analyze the influencing factors of successful aging with social support, self-efficacy, community environment and subjective health status on middle and old aged men. Methods: The survey was performed to the men between the ages of 50 and 79 in Seoul and Kyunggi province, Korea. 144 questionnaires were collected and analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program. Stepwise multiple regression was used to identify significant predictors of successful aging. Results: The most influencing factor for successful aging was social support, the second was self-efficacy, the third and the fourth was community environment and subjective health status. This regression model explained 56.7% of the variance in successful aging. Conclusion: The result shows that these variables should be considered in intervention and program of successful aging for middle and old aged men. It can be an important consideration in enhancing promoting care and welfare for the successful aging.

목적: 본 연구는 중 노년층 남성을 대상으로 주관적 건강, 사회적지지, 지역사회 환경, 자기효능감 등 성공적 노화의 영향요인을 분석하고 검증하는 것이다. 방법: 서울과 경기 지역의 50~79세의 144명을 대상으로 설문조사하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0으로 분석하였고, 성공적 노화의 영향요인을 파악하기 위하여 단계적 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 성공적 노화에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 사회적지지였으며, 다음은 자기효능감, 지역사회 환경, 주관적 건강의 순이었다. 이들 변인들이 중 노년층 남성의 성공적 노화를 49.5% 설명하였다. 결론: 중 노년층 남성들의 성공적인 노후를 위한 프로그램과 중재에 이들 변인들을 고려하는 것이 필요하며, 추후 성공적 노화를 위한 복지와 건강증진을 강화하는데 중요한 요인으로 고려할 수 있다.
