Abstract

The purpose of this study is to look into how elderly people's health promoting behaviors influence their successful aging, to realize how their perception of successful aging and their life satisfaction have the mediating effect on the path from health promotion behaviors to successful aging, and to find the significant influence of successful aging perception and life satisfaction on successful aging. This researcher conducted a questionnaire survey with elderly people using a senior welfare center in Gyeonggio-do, and analyzed 250 copies that. For data analysis, SPSS Win 25 was applied to conduct frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Mediating effect analysis was made to verify the causal relations between health promoting behaviors and successful aging, and to validate the mediating effect of successful aging perception and life satisfaction on the causal relations. As a result, elderly people's health promoting behaviors influenced their perception of successful aging, their life satisfaction, and their successful aging. Their perception of successful aging had the mediating effect on health promotional behaviors and successful aging, but life satisfaction did not so. This study has the following implications: it is necessary to train persons specializing in support for health promoting, to develop an efficient health promotional model and program, and to provide an opportunity of education. It is necessary to come up with a support policy in consideration of tangible or intangible factors. It is necessary to establish a policy in line with economic levels and health conditions of elderly people.

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 건강증진행위가 성공적 노후에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 건강증진행위가 성공적 노후로 가는 경로에 성공적 노화 인식과 생활만족도가 어떠한 매개역할을 하는지를 구체화하고 성공적 노화 인식과 생활만족도가 성공적 노후에 유의미한 영향에 관해 알아보고자 하는 것이었다. 경기도 노인복지관을 이용하는 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 최종 250부를 분석에 사용하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS Win 25를 활용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, t-test와 일원배치 분산분석, 상관분석을 실시하였다. 매개효과분석을 통해 건강증진행위와 성공적 노후 간에 설정한 인과 관계를 검증하고 나아가 성공적 노화 인식과 생활만족도가 이러한 인과관계에 매개효과가 있는지를 검증하였다. 연구 결과 노인들의 건강증진행위는 성공적 노화인식, 생활만족도, 성공적 노후에 영향을 주었고, 노인들의 성공적 노화 인식은 건강증진행위와 성공적 노후 간에 매개 역할을 하였으나 생활만족도는 건강증진행위와 성공적 노후 간에 매개 역할을 하지 못했다. 함의는 건강증진 지원 전문가, 모델 및 프로그램 개발, 홍보 및 교육기회 제공이 필요하다. 노인의 다양한 유·무형적 요인을 고려한 지원이 필요하고, 경제 및 현재 건강 수준에 맞게 정책이 마련되어야 한다.
