Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare urban-rural differences on influencing factors of health related quality of life(HRQoL) of the elderly in senior center. Methods: The subjects were 902 older adults (571 from urban areas, 331 from rural areas). Data were collected using a questionnaire from 20 July to 31 August, 2011. The SPSS/WIN program was used for data analysis. Results: For older adults of urban areas, the influencing factors of HRQoL were depression, age, subjective health, drinking, number of chronic disease, and smoking. On the other hand, the influencing factors of HRQoL of older adults of rural areas were depression, subjective health, number of chronic disease, and educational level. The significant factors of HRQoL were depression, subjective, and number of chronic disease in both urban and rural areas. Conclusion: Public health nurses should consider urban-rural differences when designing HRQoL enhancing program for the elderly in senior center.

본 연구의 목적은 경로당을 이용하는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 건강관련 삶의 질 정도와 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도시와 농촌의 지역별로 비교분석하는 것이다. 조사 대상은 902명(도시: 571명, 농촌: 331명)의 노인으로 구성하였다. 2011년 7월 20일부터 8월 31일까지 자료를 수집하였고, SPSS/WIN 21.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과는 도시 경로당 이용 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질이 농촌에 비해 유의하게 낮았고, 도시와 농촌에 따라 건강관련 삶의 질의 영향요인에 차이가 있었다. 도시의 경우는 우울, 연령, 주관적 건강상태, 음주, 만성질환 수, 흡연이 영향요인이었고, 농촌의 경우는 우울, 주관적 건강상태, 만성질환 수, 교육수준이 영향요인이었다. 결론적으로 도시와 농촌 모두 우울과 주관적 건강상태, 만성질환 수는 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질에 주 영향요인임을 확인할 수 있었으며, 도 농간 건강관련 삶의 질의 영향요인에 차이가 있었으므로 경로당 이용 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질 향상 프로그램을 개발하는데 이러한 지역별 차이를 고려되어야 할 것이다.
