Abstract

This study was to identify differences in mortality risk by living arrangements among older adults. We analyzed data from 3,827 older adults who took part in the 2014 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. Cox proportional hazards regression was used for data analysis. The significant factors associated with mortality risk in living with others were male, education level, self-rated health, limitation of instrumental activities of daily living, cognitive dysfunction, and depression. The significant factors associated with mortality risk in living alone were regular exercise, limitation of instrumental activities of daily living, and cognitive dysfunction. This study is significant in that it examined whether there are differences between mortality risk by living arrangements. According to the results of this study, nursing intervention should be developed to decrease mortality by living arrangements.

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 거주형태에 따라 사망 위험요인에 차이가 있는지 파악하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 2014년도 고령화연구패널조사를 이차 분석한 연구로 노인 3,827명을 2년간 추적조사한 종단연구이다. 자료 분석을 위해 콕스 비례 위험 회귀 분석으로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 동거노인은 성별, 교육수준, 주관적 건강 상태, IADL 제한, 인지기능 장애, 우울 증상이 사망에 영향을 주는 요인이었으며, 독거노인은 규칙적 운동 여부, IADL 제한, 인지기능 장애가 사망에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 거주형태에 따라 사망 위험요인 간에 차이가 있는지 규명하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 본 연구 결과에 따라 노인의 거주형태에 따라 사망률을 줄이기 위한 간호 중재를 개발해야 할 것이다.
