본 연구는 당뇨노인의 질병과 관련한 행동과 정서에 초점을 두고, 바람직한 생활행동양식으로 제시되는 건강증진행위와 부정적 감정상태인 우울이 당뇨노인의 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구자료는 2006년 전국조사를 통해 수집된 한국 고령화 연구 패널조사(KLoSA : Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing)를 이용하였으며, 연구대상자는 전문의에게 당뇨병 진단을 받았다고 응답한 60세 이상의 노인 685명이다. 연구방법은 대상자의 특성을 살펴보기 위한 빈도분석과 변인 간 가설검증을 위한 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 당뇨노인의 건강증진행위는 삶의 만족도에 정적인 영향을 미치며 우울에 부적인 영향을 미치고 있음이 검증되었고, 당뇨노인의 건강증진행위와 삶의 만족도에서 우울변인은 부분매개효과가 있음이 검증되었다. 우울 변인의 부분매개효과 검증은, 당뇨노인에게 건강증진행위를 통해 삶의 만족도가 향상될 수 있다는 직접적인 경로와 함께, 건강증진행위가 우울이라는 부정적 정서를 감소시키고, 우울의 감소를 통해 삶의 만족도를 향상시킬 수 있다는 간접적 경로를 검증해 주는 것이다. 이러한 결과는 당뇨노인의 삶의 질을 설명함에 있어서 질병과 관련된 신체 행위, 또는 심리적 접근이라는 단선적 관계를 벗어나 질병관리와 정서를 함께 고려함으로써 당뇨노인에 대해 개입하는 다양한 건강전문가들에게 통합적 개입의 중요성을 제시한다는데 의의를 가진다.

본 연구는 노인들이 지각한 사회적 지지의 정도를 확인하고 노인의 일상생활활동과 상관관계를 분석함으로써 노인의 삶의 지을 향상시킬 수 있는 간호중재방안의 모색에 유용한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 시도하였다. 본 연구는 대구와 경북에 거주하는 65세 이상의 재가노인으로 대구지역 120명과 경북지역 119명이며 자료수집 기간은 1998년 7월 20일부터 8월 30일 까지 이다. 연구도구로는 송미순(1991)의 지각된 사회적 지지 척도로서 정보적 지지 6문항, 물질적 지지 5문항, 감정적 지지 5문항, 자존감 지지 4문항으로 구성된 총 20문항과 Lawton과 Bordy(1971)의 수단적 일상생활활동(Instrumental Activities of Daily Living: IADL) 측정도구 8문항을 사용하였다. 자료 분석 방법은 SAS 프로그램을 이용하여 실수와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation으로 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 노인이 지각한 사회적 지지가 전체 평균점수 2.36점 이었으며, 이 중 물질적 지지가 2.52점으로 가장 높았고 자존감 지지가 2.18점으로 가장 낮았다. 2) 노인의 일상생활활동중에서 물건구입 평균점수 2.89점, 자신의 투약에 대한 책임 2.62점, 수송양식 2.22점 순으로 높았으며, 세탁일 평균점수 1.24점, 음식 준비 능력 1.58점 순으로 낮았다. 3) 노인이 지각한 사회적지지 중 자존감 지지(r=.58, p=.013), 정보적지지(r=.54, p=.048), 감정적지지(r=.41, p=.000), 그리고 물질적지지(r=.32, p=.000) 순으로 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 4) 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 사회적지지 정도의 차이를 검증한 결과 유의한 차이를 보인 것은 연령(F=4.61, p=.004), 교육정도(F=4.04, p=.002), 배우자 유무(t=3.37, p=.000) 한달 용돈 정도(F=3.51, p=.032), 용돈에 대한 만족도(F=5.12, p=.007) 등으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 사회적 지지가 노인의 일상생활활동에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인이 되므로 특히 사회교육으로부터의 정보적지지, 용돈 등으로 부터의 물질적지지, 배우자나 사회망으로부터의 정서적 지지와 자존감 지지가 효과적인 지지가 되므로 노인을 중심심으로 한 사회망으로부터 사회적 지지를 고취시키고 우리나라 노인에게 알맞는 지지간호 중재 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구의 결과를 기초로 하여 다음의 제언을 하고 자 한다. 1)노인의 일상생활활동을 증진시키는 사회적지지 간호중재 프로그램의 개발에 대한 추후 연구가 필요하다. 2) 노인의 사회적 지지가 노인의 일상생활활동에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 유사실험연구를 시도할 것을 제언한다.

본 연구는 아파트 경비원들을 중심으로 실시되고 있는 ICT직무교육과정을 개발하고 실제로 적용한 결과를 분석하였다. 아파트 민간경비종사자의 대다수가 노인인 점을 고려하여 노인의 컴퓨터에 대한 태도, 노인의 신체적 인지적 특성을 분석하여 노인교육을 위한 ICT직무 코스웨어를 설계하고 교육콘텐츠를 개발하였다. 교육프로그램을 실험집단에 적용하여 사전 사후 검사결과를 통해 만족도와 교육적 효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 교육프로그램의 만족도는 전체적으로 평균 4.00점대 이상의 높은 만족도를 보였으며, 노인정보화 교육프로그램 정성적 평가 검사 도구를 활용해 교육프로그램 투입 전 후로 실험집단의 인터넷 자기 효능감, 인터넷 활용능력 향상, 인터넷 이용용도 인지, 개인정보화 의지, 생활교정, 세대 간 갈등해소, 자신감, 인터넷 스트레스 등이 통계적으로 유의미하게 상승했음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 보면 본 연구에서 개발한 "민간경비 ICT직무교육" 교육프로그램이 노인정보화에 효과적이며 다른 노인교육 프로그램에 적용 및 촉진에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to the relationship between life satisfaction, health behaviors, and successful aging and factors associated with successful aging. Methods: Participants in this study included 159 elders living in one city. Data on life satisfaction (Choi's Life Satisfaction Scale for Korean elderly, 1984), health behaviors (Choi & Kim's Health Behaviors Scale for Korean elderly, 1997), and successful aging (Kim & Shin's Successful Aging Scale for Korean elderly, 2005) were collected by trained interviewers. For analysis of collected data, the PASW 18.0 program was used, which included descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression. Results: Results showed a positive correlation between life satisfaction, health behaviors, and successful aging. Life satisfaction, self-perceived health status, and health behavior explained 60.8% of successful aging. Conclusion: There is a need to help improve health behavior and self-perceived health status of elders. We should also understand life satisfaction over their life span and establish a program that encourages healthy behavior in the community. Accordingly, these efforts will allow for achievement of a more successful aging process for the elderly.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate life satisfaction(LS) and to assess the factors that influence LS in senior center elderly people. Methods: The subjects were 253 elders who visited the Y city Senior Welfare Center between July 2006 and August 2006. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. The instruments were composed of Kang's Family Support Scale, Depression Scale by Sheikh & Yesavage, Laffery's Health Concept Scale, and LS scale by Choi. T-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, Pearson coefficients correlation and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data using the SPSS Win 12.0 program.

The mean scores for depression, health perception and family support were 5.52(maximum score, 15), 77.46(maximum score, 112), 43.45(maximum score, 55) respectively. The LS were significantly correlated with health perception, depression and family support. Depression was the most powerful predictor of and it accounted for 42.0% of the total variance in LS. A combination of significance of eudaimonistic health perception and satisfaction with pocket money accounted for 47.2% in LS. Conclusion: Depression and health perception were identified as affecting variables for the LS. Based upon these results, nurses should help the aged to enhance their LS.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between the feeling of powerlessness, social support and life satisfaction in the elderly. Methods: The subjects were 158 old people aged over 65 who were attending one of one college and three settlement houses for senior citizens located in B city. Results: The relationship between the feeling of powerlessness and life satisfaction was in a moderate negative correlation with each other (r=-.433, p=.000). The relationship between social support and life satisfaction was in a moderate positive correlation with each other (r=.410, p=.000). It was found that the higher social support was, the higher life satisfaction was. There was remarkable difference in the form of family (F=2.69, p=.023), the form of residence (F=5.29, p=.002), whether to belong to a group (F=2.26, p=.025). Conclusion: For the reasons stated above, as the feeling of powerlessness is lower and social support is higher, life satisfaction is higher. The results clearly show that in order to improve life satisfaction of the elderly, we need to ease their feeling of powerlessness and enhance social support to them. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a nursing intervention program to reduce powerlessness and to improve social support for the elderly.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors influencing life satisfaction in widowhood among older females. Using the sixth Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS) supplementary survey data, a total sample of 1,471 women aged 65 or older whose spouse had died were selected, divided into 508 young-old (65-74), 745 middle-old (75-84), and 218 oldest-old (85+). Then, factors influencing the life satisfaction of these three groups were analyzed, based on a combination of perceived health and interpersonal satisfaction levels. It was found that among the young-old group, a higher level of subjective health perception indicated by monthly income and material support and interpersonal satisfaction linked to more frequent participation in community gathering combined for an overall higher level of life satisfaction. For the middle-old group, higher life satisfaction was provided by monthly income, informational support, and material support for subjective health perception and no diseases for interpersonal satisfaction. The oldest-old group with higher life satisfaction referred to monthly income for subjective health perception and no experience in donation activities for interpersonal satisfaction. Based on these findings, this study provides implications for policy and practice to improve the life satisfaction of elderly women who have experienced their spouse's death.
