Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out impact of level of awareness about old age, knowledge of the elderly and preparing for later life on college students in Korea. The study was composed of 133 students who were studying in 4-year system at colleges. Data were collected from October 1st to November 31st, 2019. Data analysis included an independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression using the SPSS 19.0 program. As a result of this study, factors influencing the subject's preparing for later life included knowledge of the elderly (β = 0.21, p = .012), men (β = 0.28, p = .001), and level of awareness about old age (β = 0.23, p =. 005), and the accounting power of these factors was 18% in total (F=9.14, p<.001). The results of this study suggest that understanding of the elderly must be improved in order to effectively prepare for later life and gender should be taken into account when planning for intervention.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 대학생의 노후인식, 노인에 대한 지식 및 노후준비간의 관련성을 파악하고, 노후인식 및 노인에 대한 지식이 노후준비에 미치는 영향 정도를 규명하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 2019년 10월 1일에서 11월 30일까지 B시 소재 4년제 대학에 재학 중인 남녀 대학생 133명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/WIN 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도 및 백분율, 평균 및 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, 상관관계 및 단계적 다중 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 대상자의 노후인식 및 노인에 대한 지식은 노후준비와 의미 있는 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 대상자의 노후준비에 미치는 영향요인으로는 노인에 대한 지식(β=0.21, p=.012), 남성인 경우(β=0.28, p=.001), 노후인식수준(β=0.23, p=.005) 순이었으며, 이들 영향요인은 대상자의 노후준비 정도를 17.5% 설명하는 것으로 나타났다(F=9.14, p<.001). 본 연구의 결과는 대학생의 노후준비를 효과적으로 증진시키기 위해서는 노인에 대한 이해도가 높아져야 함을 의미하며, 중재안 구성 시에 성별을 고려하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.
