초록

노년기의 정보이용 능력은 노인의 건강과 삶의 질 향상과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 그러나 노년기는 정보화 적응에 어려움을 겪는 시기로, 특히 노인 취약계층의 정보화 격차 문제가 중요한 사회적 이슈이다. 본 연구는 서울시 거주 고령자를 대상으로 정보화 이용의 관련 요인을 사회경제적 격차 및 건강 차이에 주목하여 살펴보고자 한다. 연구 자료는 "2015년, 2016년 고령자 건강수준과 기능평가" 설문 자료의 60세-89세 1,605명을 대상으로 한다. 정보화 이용에 관한 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 연령, 성별, 교육수준, 활동제한과 건강수준이 유의한 독립적 영향 요인이었다. 이 결과는 서울시 고령자의 정보화 이용에서 격차 및 불평등의 관련요인을 밝히고 있다. 본 연구결과는 고령자에서 인구사회학적 특성뿐만 아니라 건강상태를 고려한 정보소외계층에 대한 관심과 관련 정책의 필요성을 제시한다.

The use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) is closely related to the improvement of health and quality of life in later life. The elderly in general, however, face difficulty in adapting to ICT. The purpose of this study is to examine the social disparities and determinants in the use of information of the elderly residing in seoul. The data is based on the "2015-2016 Seoul Survey on Elderly Health and Functional Assessment", which include a total of 1,605 people aged 60 to 89. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the older, women, the lower educated, and those with restricted activity or poorer health were found to be the significant determinants of the digital poverty among older people. The results call for special attention to disparity within the older group to solve digital divide issues.
