Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relation between social support and the knowledge of drug which affects drug abuse in elderly by using structure equation model(SEM). The samples included 177 elderly who lived in 'D' city was selected. Data were collected and analyzed using questionnaires for 13 days from May 13 to May 25, 2013. 3 factors of research models had a significant model fit and correlation. The key research findings are as follows. First, the more social support they have, the more knowledge of drug they tend to have(${\beta}$=.515, p=.005). Second, direct effect that social support led to drug abuse was significant.(${\beta}$=-.769, p=.002) However the indirect effect was not significant(${\beta}$=.036, p=.671). Third, the indirect effect that social support led to drug abuse was not significant, which means it has no mediating effect. Social support turned out to be very important factor in this research, but other preceding research mentioned that knowledge of drug is an important factor which could reduce drug abuse. Research needs to be analyzed repeatedly for verification of effects.

본 연구는 재가노인의 약물오남용행위에 영향을 주는 약물지식과 사회적지지의 관계구조를 구조방정식모형을 사용하여 검증하였다. D시에 거주하는 재가노인 177명을 대상으로 2013년 5월 13일부터 5월 25일까지 13일 간 설문지를 이용한 자료수집과 분석을 하였다. 연구모형의 3요인간의 모형접합도와 상관관계는 유의하게 나타났다. 첫째, 사회적지지가 약물지식에 미치는 효과는 ${\beta}$=.515(p=.005)로 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났으며, 둘째, 사회적지지가 약물 오남용행위에 미치는 효과는 ${\beta}$=-.769(p=.002)로 유의하였으나 간접효과는 ${\beta}$=.036(p=.671)로 유의하지 않았다. 셋째, 사회적지지에서 약물오남용에 간접효과가 유의하지 않게 나옴으로 약물지식이 오남용에 대한 매개효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 사회적지지가 중요한 인자로 나왔지만 선행연구들에서는 약물지식이 약물오남용행위를 감소시키는 중요요인으로 언급되고 있어 효과검증을 위한 반복연구가 요구된다.
