Abstract

This study was performed to determine the relationships among self-esteem, state anxiety, interpersonal behavior trait and locus of control, and to reveal its related factors. The interviews were performed, during the period from April 1st, to June 30th, 2011, to 396 elderlies in Daejeon city. As a results, the self-esteem was negatively correlated with state anxiety and interpersonal behavior trait, while it was positively correlated with locus of control. While state anxiety was positively correlated with interpersonal behavior trait, it was negatively correlated with locus of control, and interpersonal behavior trait was positively correlated with locus of control. Multiple stepwise analysis revealed that the factors of influence on self-esteem included IADL, spouse, mastication of food and amnesia. The factors of influence on State anxiety included mastication of food, IADL, spouse, subjective health status, disability of body, subjective sleep evaluation and educational level. The factors of influence on Interpersonal dependent behavior trait included spouse, IADL, monthly income and subjective health status. The factors of influence on locus of control included spouse and visual acuity. Above results suggested that the self-esteem, state anxiety, interpersonal behavior trait and locus of control of subjects were significantly related with the sociodemographic characteristics, health related factors and health status.

본 연구는 도시지역 거주 노인들의 자기존중감, 상태불안, 대인의존형행동특성 및 통제신념 상호간의 관련성을 알아보고 이들 요인에 영향을 미치는 관련요인들을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 조사대상은 대전광역시에 거주하고 있는 65세 이상 노인 396명(남자 182명, 여자 214명)으로 하였으며, 조사는 2011년 4월 1일부터 6월 30일까지의 기간동안에 면접조사 하였다. 연구결과, 자기존중감은 상태불안, 대인의존형행동특성과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였고 통제신념과는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 상태불안은 대인의존형행동특성과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고, 통제신념과는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 대인의존형행동특성은 통제신념과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 단계별 다중회귀분석 결과 자기존중감에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 IADL, 배우자 유무, 저작능 상태, 건망증이 선정되었으며, 상태불안에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 치아의 부자유 유무, IADL, 배우자유무, 주관적인 건강상태, 신체의 부자유유무, 주관적인 수면의 질, 학력이 선정되었다. 대인의존형행동특성에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 배우자유무, IADL, 월수입, 주관적인 건강상태가 선정되었으며, 통제신념에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 배우자유무, 시력상태가 선정되었다. 이상과 같은 결과는 조사대상 노인들의 자기존중감, 상태불안, 대인의존형행동특성 및 통제신념은 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 건강상태 등의 여러 변수들과 유의한 관계가 있음을 시사하고 있다.
