노인장기요양보험제도 도입으로 노인요양시설과 요양시설 이용자가 급증하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 노인 요양시설내 학대 발생 현황과 그로 인해 이용노인의 삶에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 관심과 연구는 부족한 실정이었다. 이에 본 연구는 2개 지역에 소재한 44개 요양시설 이용노인 278명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 학대경험과 서비스 품질 인식, 서비스 만족도, 삶의 만족도간의 관계를 분석하기 위해 SPSS 20프로그램과 AMOS 18프로그램을 이용해 분석하였다. 분석결과 요양시설 이용 노인의 학대 피해 경험을 확인할 수 있었는데 특히 성학대 피해 경험이 가장 많이 보고되었다. 학대 피해 경험은 이용노인의 서비스품질에 대한 인식, 서비스 만족도, 삶의 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 학대를 경험한 노인은 기관의 서비스 품질과 서비스 만족도에 대해 낮게 평가하였고, 삶의 만족도 또한 낮게 나타났다. 학대 경험은 이용 노인의 삶의 만족도에 직접적 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 서비스 만족도를 매개로 간접적으로도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 노인 요양시설내 노인 학대 예방을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.
