Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing health-related quality of life of urinary incontinent elderly women. The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) was used as baseline data to evaluate how activity limitation, depression experience and subjective health perception influence the health-related quality of life of urinary incontinent elderly women. The urinary incontinent elderly women differed significantly in terms of activity limitation, depression experience, subjective health perception influence and health-related quality of life compared to elderly women without incontinence. In contrast, income and education were not correlated with either of the aforementioned groups. The subjective health perception was identified as the only factor influencing the health-related quality of life of urinary incontinent elderly women. The results of this study will serve as basic data for positive treatment promotion and development of assessment programs for incontinence patients who recognize incontinence symptoms as part of the aging process and are therefore unwilling to receive care.

본 연구의 목적은 요실금 여성 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위함이다. 본 연구에서는 질병관리본부에서 수행하고 있는 국민건강영양자료를 이용하여 활동 제한, 우울 증상 경험, 주관적 건강 인식이 요실금 여성 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향 미치는 정도를 파악하였다. 요실금 여성 노인은 요실금이 이환되지 않은 여성 노인에 비해 활동 제한, 우울 경험, 주관적 건강 인식, 삶의 질에 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 반면 소득이나 교육은 요실금 여성 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질과 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 활동제한, 우울경험은 요실금 여성 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였으며, 주관적 건강 인식만이 건강관련 삶의 질에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통해 그동안 노화의 한 과정으로 생각해 진료나 치료를 꺼려왔던 요실금 여성 노인 대상자들을 위한 중재 프로그램 개발이나 적극적인 치료 홍보와 관련된 기초자료를 제공하는데 의의가 있다.
