초록

본 연구는 충 남북 지역에 거주하는 노인 252명을 조사대상자로 하여 정보 활용과 삶의 질과의 관계를 분석하였다. 이 과정에서 독거노인과 일반노인 집단으로 나누어 비교분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 자료분석을 위하여 PASW Statistics 18.0을 이용하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사대상자들의 정보 활용은 일반노인 집단이 유의미하게 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 삶의 질 하위영역에서 '정신 심리적 건강' 및 '사회적 관계' 영역은 일반노인 집단이 유의미하게 더 높은 것으로 나타났으며, '환경' 영역은 집단별로 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 삶의 질에 미치는 영향 요인은 하위영역별로 두 집단이 동일한 것으로 나타났으나, 그 요인의 영향력은 집단별로 다른 것으로 나타났다. 두 집단에서 경제적 상태가 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 정보 활용, 교육수준, 거주 지역 등은 집단에 따라 영향력이 다른 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 두 집단 모두 '정신 심리적 건강' 영역에서 정보 활용의 영향력이 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 본 연구는 노인들의 가구 특성을 고려한 실증적 분석을 진행함으로써 고령화 및 정보화 사회에 맞추어 노인들의 정보 접근을 강화하고 삶의 질 향상을 위한 구체적인 실천전략을 제시하였다는데 연구의 의의가 있다.

This study surveyed 252 senior citizens in the Chungnam and Chungbuk regions to review the effects that information use has on quality of life. Participants were divided into two sub-groups based on household types. Data was analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0. Major findings are as follows: First, information use, mental and psychological health, as well a&s social relationships found in study subjects were significantly higher among seniors not living alone. Second, factors that influence the quality of life were found to be same for each group, but significantly different for their influence of each group. Factors that influence the quality of life were found to be economic status, information use, and education level. Factors that influence the quality of life in elderly living alone were found to be economic status, education level, information use. Based on these findings, the study presents practical and integrated measures to help the original objective of this research to be achieved.
