The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting quality of life among elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in a community. The design of this study was an exploratory survey. The subjects were 268 adults aged over 65 years with DM in a community. The data were collected from July to October, 2011 and analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression by using SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. The quality of life was positively associated with self care behavior (r=.226, p<.001), self-efficacy (r=.323, p<.001), and social support (r=.345, p<.001). However, quality of life had moderately negative correlation with depression (r=-.445, p<.001). Among the variables, depression, social support, and self-efficacy were explanatory factors accounting for 23.9% of quality of life. These findings suggest that depression and self-efficacy are important factors affecting quality of life in the elderly with DM and it can be improved by strengthening social support.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social support and quality of life (QOL) in elderly people and to examine potential cross-cultural differences. Methods: The author surveyed 82 elderly people, over the age of 65, residing in a nursing home in a Korean rural area and 73 Korean immigrants living in Houston Texas USA who were also elderly. The degree of social support was measured with 20 questions that were answered using a 5 grade scale. The quality of life was measured in 5 fields (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, each scored using a 3 grade scale) with EUROQOL EQ-5D. Results: The mean score of social support was 65.43 for domestic Korean elderly people (range: 26 to 98); it was 73.43 for elderly Korean Americans (range: 26 to 100). The score was lower for domestic Koreans despite the traditional environment (p<0.05). Regarding QOL, 61% of domestic Korean elderly people complained of pain/discomfort and 47.5% appeared to have anxiety/depression, 30.5% complained of limitations in mobility, 20.7% reported limitations in usual activities, and 14.6% had limitations in basic self.care activity such as washing or dressing. A similar proportion of Korean American elderly had limitations in usual activities (19.2%) and self care activity (9.5%). But significantly fewer complained of anxiety/depression (16.5%, p<0.01) or pain/discomfort (38.3%, p<0.01). The major differences in psychological domains of QOL may be related to the degree of social support and the difference in the socio.cultural environment. Conclusion: Social support is a major determinant of QOL, especially for psychological domains, and these relationships are under the influence of the socio.cultural environment.

Subjects were 607 1st and 2nd grade middle school students in Busan. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way Anova, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows. The scores on paternal involvement were influenced by the amount of time spent with parents, 5days work a week of father, flexibility of leaving work-time of mother, regularity of holiday work of mother as well as adolescents' and fathers' sociodemographic characteristic.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the factors which influence depression for elderly people who live at home. Methods: The participants were 134 elderly people living at home in M city. Data were collected from April 2 to 30, 2009 and analyzed using SPSS/WIN 12.0 and AMOS 5.0 program. I assumed path coefficients by doing path analysis to understand synthetically causal relationship which influences on depression. Results: Social support, sleep pattern and self esteem had significant direct effects on life satisfaction and accounted for 50% of the total variance in life satisfaction. Physical symptoms, sleep pattern and life satisfaction also had significant direct effects on depression and accounted for 59% of the variance in depression. But social support, self assertiveness and self esteem were not significant for depression. Conclusion: These results provide guidance for designing useful strategies to reduce depression in elderly people living at home.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: The participants were 133 elderly people dwelling in a community. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Stepwise multiple regression with SPSS. Results: The predictors of quality of life in the elderly were depression, physical symptoms, and social support. Depression and physical symptoms had a significant negative correlation with HRQoL and social support had a significant positive correlation with HRQoL. Among them, depression was shown as the most significant predictor of HRQoL in the elderly ($R^2$=.573, p<.001). Conclusion: These results indicate that strategies to relieve depression should be integrated in interventions to improve the QoL of older adults dwelling in a community residence.

Purpose: This study aimed to construct and test a predictive model that explains and predicts the quality of life in older men living alone. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was used to collect data from 334 older adult men living along aged 65 years or over living in Jeollanam-do provinces. The endogenous variables were depression, self-rated health, instrumental activity of daily life, health promotion behaviors, the number of social participation activities and quality of life. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. Results: The final model with 14 of the 8 analysed paths showed a good fit to the empirical data: χ2 = 173.26(p < .001, df = 53), normed χ2 = 3.27, GFI = .92, NFI = .90, CFI = .93, TLI = .89, RMSEA = .08 and SRMR = .06. Activities had direct effect on quality of life of older men living alone and social support had both direct and indirect effects. Meanwhile, function and socioeconomic status showed only indirect effects. The variables included in the eight significant paths explained 83.7% of variance in the prediction model. Conclusion: Instrumental activities of daily living and social support effect directly on quality of life in the older men living alone. Findings suggest that health care providers including community nurses need to provide social support as well as empowerment programs of instrumental activities of daily living and health promotion for improving quality of life of the older men living alone.

본 연구는 독거노인의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인한 연구로, 인구학적 배경, 경제 활동과 함께 생산적 여가참여와 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구는 5차 국민노후보장패널의 독거노인 890명을 그 대상으로 하였으며, 독거노인의 삶의 만족도는 지역에 따른 무선효과를 가져 다층모형을 활용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 독거노인은 도에 사는 경우 광역시나 서울시에 사는 경우에 비해 삶의 만족도가 높았고, 생활비가 많을수록, 경제활동을 하고, 경제적으로 독립된 경우에 삶의 만족도가 높았다. 뿐만 아니라, 생산적 여가에 참여할 경우 그렇지 못한 경우 보다 삶의 만족도가 높으며, 사회적 지지를 많이 받을수록 삶의 만족도는 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 생산적 여가참여를 하는 경우 사회적 지지를 받을수록 독거노인의 삶의 만족도가 높아지는 조절효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 독거노인의 생산적 여가참여의 촉진책과 사회적 지지를 높이기 위한 정책적 방안을 모색하여야 할 것이다.
