본 연구는 요양시설 입소 노인의 죽음 및 불안과 관련하여 사회적 지지와의 상관성을 알아보기 위해 대구 경북에 소재하고 있는 노인 요양시설 6개를 임의 모집하여 노인환자 300명(남성: 183명, 여성:117명)을 대상으로 조사하였다. 연구의 결과는 사회적 지지에서 물질적 지지와 정보적 지지가 죽음 불안과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났고 죽음 불안과 일반적 특성의 연관성에서는 고령일수록, 입소기간이 길수록 증가되는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 따라서 요양시설 입소 노인이 느끼는 죽음·불안에 대한 두려움을 개선하도록 하며 자아 존중감, 자아 통합감을 향상시키고 우울을 해결할 수 있도록 전문적인 상담과 프로그램을 개발하여 실시하는 것이 필요하다.
