Abstract

This study investigated the effects of meaning of life and depression on the health-promoting behaviors of community-dwelling elderly people, as well as the effects of community programs on their depression, meaning of life, and health-promoting behaviors. Collected data were analyzed by ANOVA, paired t-test through SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The demographic characteristics, depression, meaning of life, and health-promoting behaviors of the participants were analyzed using descriptive statistics that calculated real numbers and percentages. The participating in community programs resulted in a decrease in depression(t=2.379, p=.010) and significant increase in meaning of life(t=2.421, p=.009) and health-promoting behaviors(t=2.316, p=.012) and recognized the importance of community role for healthy old age. Based on this, we propose active participation of the community for the health of elderly people and development of programs suitable for the subjects.

본 연구는 대상자의 우울과 생의 의미가 건강 증진 행위에 미치는 효과를 조사하고 지역사회 건강 프로그램의 참여가 대상자의 우울, 생의 의미, 건강 증진 행위에 미치는 영향을 보기 위한 설문 조사 연구이다. 연구를 위해 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN(ver 18.0) 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였으며 ANOVA, paired t-test로 검증하였다. 조사 대상자의 인구 사회학적 특성과 우울, 건강 증진 행위, 생의 의미는 실수와 백분율을 산출하는 기술통계를 사용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 지역사회 건강 프로그램에 참여한 노인의 우울이 유의하게 감소하였고(t=2.379, p=.010), 생의 의미(t=2.421, p=.009)와 건강 증진 행위(t=2.316, p=.012)도 유의하게 상승하였으며 이를 통하여 대상자의 건강한 노후를 위한 지역사회 역할의 중요성을 인지하게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 바탕으로 노인의 건강을 위하여 지역사회의 적극적인 개입이 필요하며 대상자에 맞는 프로그램의 개발을 제언한다.
