Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of social support and health promotion behavior on aging anxiety among middle aged women. The sample for this study consisted of 160 women aged 40 to 60 living in C city in Korea. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23.0. It was found that: (a) aging anxiety had a negative correlation with health promoting behavior(r=-.614, <.001), spousal support(r=-.411, <.001), whereas health promotion behavior had a positive correlation with spousal support(r=.429, <.001) (b) Factors influencing aging anxiety were identified as following; nutrition, stress management, menopause, spousal support with 44.7% explanatory power. In this study, it was found that nutrition, stress management, spouse support, and menopause awareness among middle-aged women lowered aging anxiety. Further research is needed to develop programs that include these variables and to verify their effects.

이 연구는 중년여성의 노화불안에 사회적지지, 건강증진행위가 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 C시에 거주하는 40세에서 60세까지의 중년여성 160명이었다. 자료는 SPSS 23.0으로 기술통계, t-test, One-way ANOVA, 상관관계, 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과 (a) 노화불안은 사회적 지지(r=-.411, p<.001), 건강증진행위(r=-.614, p〈.001)와 음의 상관이 있었고, 사회적 지지(r=.429, p<.001)와 건강증진행위는 양의 상관이 있었다. (b) 중년여성의 노화불안에 영향을 미치는 변수는 건강증진행위의 하부요인인 영양(${\beta}=-0.329$, p<.001)과 스트레스 관리(${\beta}=-0.325$, p<.001), 폐경상태(${\beta}=0.214$, p<.001), 배우자지지(${\beta}=-0.160$, p=.011)였으며 이들의 설명력은 44.7% 이었다(F=33.12, p<.001). 이 연구에서 중년여성의 영양과 스트레스 관리, 배우자지지, 폐경 인식은 노화불안을 낮추는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 추후 이들 변수를 포함하는 프로그램 개발과 그 효과를 확인할 연구가 필요하다.
