Abstract

This study aimed to assess the levels of depression, social support, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being in the elderly, and to identify factors influencing psychological well-being. To identify factors that affect the psychological well-being of the elderly, the data that responded that they had problems such as diseases, disabilities, and economic difficulties that negatively affect retirement life were selected and were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 program. Research results showed that psychological well-being was correlated with depression, social support, and self-efficacy. Education level, monthly pocket money, depression, social support, and self-efficacy were variables that significantly predicted psychological well-being, and the explanatory power of these variables was 51.8%. This suggests that in order to improve the psychological well-being of the elderly, it is necessary to develop and apply programs that reduce depression and strengthen social support and self-efficacy.

본 연구는 노인의 우울, 사회적 지지, 자기효능감, 심리적 안녕감 정도를 확인하고, 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구는 2차 분석 연구로, 노인의 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 노후생활에서 부정적인 영향 주는 질환, 장애, 경제적 어려움 등의 문제를 가지고 있다고 응답한 자료를 선택하였고 IBM SPSS Statistics 23 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 심리적 안녕감은 우울, 사회적 지지, 자기효능감과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 학력, 월 용돈, 우울, 사회적 지지, 자기효능감이 심리적 안녕감을 유의하게 예측하는 변수였으며, 이들 변수의 설명력은 51.8%이었다. 노인의 심리적 안녕감 증진을 위해 우울을 낮추고, 사회적지지와 자기효능감을 강화시키는 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요함을 시사한다.
