Abstract

Purpose : This study attempted to observe the correlation between the activity levels and interpersonal relationships of elderly people. Method : This study implemented the Relationship Change Scale (RCS) and the Korean Activity Card Sort (K-ACS) on elderly people who use community welfare centers in the Busan and Ulsan areas from May 28, 2015 to August 26, 2015. Results : Total ACS scores and sensitivity showed a high correlation with .326. Next, instrumental activities of daily living and sensitivity showed a high correlation of .287, and instrumental activities of daily living and sense of satisfaction showed a high correlation of .277. However, social activities showed no correlation with the subcategories of interpersonal relationships. Conclusion : People who adequately carry out their roles in daily living and enjoy leisure activities showed high scores in interpersonal relationship satisfaction, understandability, sensitivity, and openness. This shows that it is necessary for elderly people to have interest in successful aging such as participation in activities that exceed welfare through simple medical support or interpersonal relationships and in demands related to the quality of life.

목적 : 본 연구는 노인의 성공적인 노화와 관련된 요소인 활동수준과 대인관계의 상관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 2015년 5월 28일부터 2015년 8월 26일까지 부산 및 울산 지역에서 복지관을 이용하는 노인 74명을 대상으로 대인관계 변화척도(Relationship Change Scale, RCS), 한국형 활동분류카드(Korean Activity Card Sort, K-ACS)를 실시하였다. 결과 : ACS 총점과 민감성은 .326로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 수단적 일상생활활동과 민감성이 .287, 수단적 일상생활활동과 만족감이 .277으로 다음으로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 그러나 사회활동은 대인관계의 하위항목과 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 결론 : 일상생활의 역할을 적절히 수행하고 여가활동을 즐기는 사람일수록 대인관계의 만족감, 이해성, 민감성, 개방성의 점수가 높게 나타났다. 이를 통해 노인 인구는 단순한 의료의 지원을 통한 복지 이상의 활동 참여이나 대인관계와 같은 노인의 성공적인 노화와 삶의 질과 관련된 요구에 관심을 가질 필요가 있다.
