Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the Happy Village Convergence Program on the depression, meaning of life and suicidal ideation in rural elderly women. The participants of this study were 25 elderly women aged 65 years or older in G province (12 experimental group and 13 control group). The data collected from January 10, 2019 to March 14, 2019. The experimental group participated in the 10-session program, once a week for 60 minutes. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2-test$, and t-test. There were significant differences in depression (t = -2.195, p <.05) and meaning of life (t = 2.757, p <.05) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Therefore, the program was effective in rural women. We propose further study to confirm the usefulness of the program by expanding the gender and area.

본 연구는 행복마을 융복합 프로그램이 농촌 여성노인의 우울, 삶의 의미와 자살생각에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 G군의 마을회관을 이용하는 65세 이상의 여성노인 25명(실험군=12명, 대조군=13명)이다. 자료수집기간은 2019년 1월 10일에서 3월 14일까지였다. 실험군은 주 1회 60분씩 총 10회기 행복마을 융복합 프로그램에 참여하였고, 대조군은 사전조사와 사후조사 후 1회 40분씩 총 2회의 건강교육을 받았다. 수집된 자료는 서술통계, ${\chi}^2-test$, t-test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 실험군은 대조군에 비해 우울(t=-2.195, p<.05)과 삶의 의미(t=2.757, p<.05)가 통계적으로 유의하게 향상되었다. 그러므로 본 연구의 프로그램이 농촌여성의 우울과 삶의 의미를 향상시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 추후 성별과 지역을 확대한 연구를 통해 프로그램의 유용성 확인을 제언하였다.
