이 연구는 노인학대 피해경험이 노인의 정신건강에 미치는 영향에 대해 사회적지지가 조절효과를 어떻게 나타내는지 분석해 봄으로써 이론적, 실천적 시사점을 도출한 연구이다. 연구를 위해 전국에 분포해 있는 24개 노인보호전문기관에서 상담을 했던 학대피해노인 270명을 대상으로 노인학대 피해경험과 사회적 지지, 정신건강에 관한 설문을 실시하였고 연구결과, 노인학대 피해 경험은 피해노인의 정신건강에 유미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 두 변수의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 조절효과가 유의미하게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다.
