Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how leisure programs are utilized by senior welfare centers, and analyze the relationship between the degree of satisfaction and the resulting effect on the depressive emotions and psychological well-being of program participants. To that end, a survey was made on 128 persons aged 65 or over who were participating in leisure programs at 2 senior centers located in Seoul. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS Ver. 21. The findings were as follows: First, the most satisfactory program was Sing-Along program, while the reason for using senior welfare centers was for meeting friends and the most favorite program was hobby classes; Second, significant differences were found in depressive emotions according to age and educational background and in psychological well-being according to educational background. Third, the degree of satisfaction in programs had a meaningful relationship with depressive emotion and well-being; Fourth, there was no mediating effect of psychological well-being between the degree of program satisfaction and depressive emotion.

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 여가활동 중 노인종합복지관 프로그램 활용 및 이용 만족도에 따른 우울정서와 안녕감의 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 연구를 위해 서울에 소재하고 있는 노인종합복지관 2곳을 선택하여 65세 이상 되는 노인 128명을 대상으로 설문을 배포하고 수집하여 분석하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS v.21을 활용하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 복지관 프로그램 중 가장 만족도가 높은 것은 노래교실이었다. 이용 이유로는 친구를 만나기 위해서가 많았고, 주요활동 분야는 취미활동이었다. 둘째, 일반적 특성에 따른 우울정서의 차이는 연령과 학력에서 유의한 차이가 나타났고, 심리적 안녕감은 학력수준에 따라서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 프로그램 이용 만족도는 우울정서와 안녕감에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 프로그램 만족도와 우울정서의 사이에서 심리적 안녕감의 매개효과는 나타나지 않았다.
