Abstract

The Purpose of this paper was to explore the effect of hearing impairment on HRQOL in Korean elders. We carry out a cross-sectional analysis using nationally representative data from the KNHANES, 2016-2018. The survey was conducted on 4,754 elders who responded to questions about hearing impairment. Quality of life was compared between hearing impaired elders and elders with no hearing impairment using the t-test and chi-square test, and factors related to quality of life were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression using SPSS version 22.0. There was significant difference in quality of life between hearing impaired elders and elders with no hearing impairment. Walking exercise were identified as factors related to quality of life in elders with hearing impairment, while marriage status, walking exercise and limited movement were found to be related to quality of life among elders with no hearing impairment. In order to improve the HRQOL of elders with hearing impairment, multidisciplinary efforts and development of educational programs are required.

본 연구는 청각저하 여부에 따른 노인의 삶의 질 관련 요인을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 제 7기 국민건강영양조사 자료를(KNHANES 2016-2018) 활용하여 65세 이상 노인을 청각저하 여부에 따라 분류하여 최종적으로 4,754명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 인구사회학적 특성, 건강 행태, 신체적 건강과 심리사회적 건강 특성(주관적 건강상태, 스트레스, 우울, 걷기운동, 근력운동, 활동제한, 의료 미충족 요구)을 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS ver. 22.0를 이용하여 복합 표본 분석하였다. 청각저하 여부에 따라 노인의 삶의 질은 인구사회학적 특성, 건강 행태, 신체적 건강과 심리사회적 건강에 따라 차이가 있었다. 다중로지스틱회귀분석 결과, 청력저하가 없는 노인의 경우 결혼상태, 활동제한과 걷기운동이 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 청력저하가 있는 노인의 경우에는 걷기운동이 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 청력저하 노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 환경, 신체, 심리적 건강관리 및 운동이 포함된 다학제적 협력과 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
