Abstract

The purpose of this study is to observe the influencing factors of elderly users of senior citizen centers' life satisfaction from an integrative perspecrive. In order to do so, 25 senior citizen centers located in the city of Seoul were selected as a sample on which a direct survey was conducted. A total of 448 were chosen as the final study subjects. The following are the study results. Firstly, although program satisfaction did not affect the life satisfaction of elderly users of senior citizen centers, senior citizen center user satisfaction and service quality had a positive influence on life satisfaction. Secondly, welfare satisfaction and self-worth had a positive influence on life satisfaction. Thirdly, existentiality, certainty and responsiveness had a positive influence on life satisfaction. In conclusion, this study aims to contribute to discussions for policies and the development of active programs that can improve the self-worth of elderly users by fulfillling leisure welfare satisfaction and achieving facility expansion, as well as vitalizing communication among elderly users.

본 연구의 목적은 경로당 이용 노인의 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향 요인을 융복합적 측면에서 설펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울특별시 소재 25개구 경로당을 표본으로 선정하여 직접조사를 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 최종 448명으로 하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 프로그램만족도는 경로당 이용 노인 삶의 만족도에 영향을 주지 않았지만, 경로당이용만족도 및 서비스 질은 삶의 만족도에 정적인 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 복지만족도, 자아존중감은 삶의 만족도에 정적인 영항을 주었다. 셋째, 실존성, 확신성 및 대응성은 삶의 만족도에 정적인 영향을 주었다. 따라서 경로당 이용 노인 삶의 만족도를 향상시키기 위해 이용만족도 충족과 시설확충, 경로당 이용 노인간 소통 활성화 등을 통해 자존감을 높여줄 수 있는 실천적 방안 마련 및 정책적 논의가 긴요하며 이에 보탬이 되고자 한다.
