초록

본 연구는 전기노인과 후기노인 간 일반적인 특성, 상실경험, 노후불안, 우울에 있어서의 차이를 분석하고, 상실경험이 노후불안과 우울에 미치는 영향에 있어서 전기노인과 후기노인 간 차이를 밝히고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 서울과 경기지역에 거주하는 65세 이상의 노인으로 편의표집하여 설문조사를 하였으며, 최종적으로 206명의 자료를 통계분석에 사용하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일반적인 특성에 있어서는 전기노인이 후기노인에 비해 배우자가 있는 경우가 더 많았으며, 다른 변인에 있어서는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 후기노인이 전기노인에 비해 건강, 관계, 경제, 역할에 있어서의 상실경험이 더 크게 나타났으며, 노후불안은 더 크고, 우울은 더 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 전기노인의 경우 건강, 경제, 역할상실이 클수록 우울이 높게 나타났으며, 후기노인의 경우 역할상실과 경제상실 경험이 클수록 노후불안이 컸으며, 역할상실이 클수록 우울이 높았다. 본 연구는 노년기를 세분화하여 노년 전기와 후기에 적합한 상실경험 보완 정책 및 제도 마련을 위한 기초자료로써 의의가 있다.
