Abstract

This study attempted to provide basic data to develop a nursing intervention for managing communicable diseases in the elderly by identifying the relationship between COVID-19 stress and self-management efficacy perceived by elderly individuals. Data were collected from 133 participants using a structured questionnaire on general characteristics, COVID-19 stress, and self-management efficacy. Data analysis included a t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. The results revealed that COVID-19 stress differed according to occupation, educational attainment, economic status, and subjective health status, while self-management efficacy differed according to subjective health status. COVID-19 stress correlated positively with self-management efficacy, and there was a positive correlation in the prevention and home-management areas, among the lower areas. Therefore, appropriate COVID-19 stress among elderly individuals can act as a factor to increase the efficacy of prevention and home-management. As the pandemic continues, repeated studies should expand the range of participants and changes by period.

본 연구는 재가노인이 인지하는 COVID-19 스트레스와 자기관리 효능감 간의 관계를 파악하여 노인의 감염병 관리 간호중재 개발을 위한 기초자료 활용을 위해 시도되었다. 133명을 대상으로 일반적 특성, COVID-19 스트레스 및 자기관리 효능감에 대한 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 자료수집 하였다. 자료분석을 위해 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients를 시행하였다. 연구결과, COVID-19 스트레스는 직업, 교육정도, 경제상태, 주관적 건강상태에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 자기관리 효능감은 주관적 건강상태에 따라 차이가 있었다. COVID-19 스트레스는 자기관리 효능감과 정 상관관계가 있었으며, 하부영역 중 예방 및 가정관리 영역에서 정 상관관계가 있었다. 결과를 통해 재가노인들의 적절한 COVID-19 스트레스는 예방 및 가정관리 효능감을 높이는 요인으로 작용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. COVID-19 대유행이 지속됨에 따라 시기별 변화와 대상자의 범위를 확대한 반복 연구가 필요하다.
