초록

본 연구는 대학생의 노인에 대한 지식, 태도, 노부모 부양의식 및 자아존중감이 노화불안에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 서울 소재 일개 대학교 간호대학생 239명을 대상으로 2014년 9월부터 12월까지 설문조사로 자료수집이 이루어졌고, 자료분석은 IBM SPSS 21.0을 사용하여 기술통계, 상관관계분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 노화불안은 평균 2.94점으로 중간정도 이었으며, 노인에 대한 지식은 평균 18.29점, 노인에 대한 태도는 평균 65.5점, 노부모 부양의식은 평균 4.05점, 자아존중감은 평균 3.07점이었다. 상관분석결과 노화불안은 노인에 대한 태도, 노부모 부양의식, 자아존중감과 부적상관관계가 있었으며, 노인에 대한 지식과는 상관관계가 없었다. 다중회귀분석 결과 여성이, 연령이 낮을수록 노인과 동거경험이 없는 경우, 노인에 대한 태도가 부정적일수록, 자아존중감이 낮을수록 노화불안을 높이는데 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 비추어볼 때, 대학생이 노인에 대해 긍정적인 인식과 태도를 갖고 노화불안을 감소시킬 수 있는 전략적인 방법 중 하나는 노인과 긍정적인 유대관계를 경험할 수 있는 활동에 참여하도록 기회를 제공하는 것이라고 생각된다.

This study examined the factors influencing aging anxiety in university students. The participants were 239 nursing students from one university in Seoul. Data were collected from September to December in 2014 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. The average score for aging-anxiety was 2.94, for knowledge about the elderly 18.92, for attitude toward the elderly 65.5, for participants' supporting awareness of old parents 4.05, and for self-esteem 3.07. There were negative correlations between aging anxiety, attitude toward the elderly, supporting awareness of old parents, and self-esteem. Aging-anxiety was significantly influenced by age, gender, living with grandparents, attitude toward the elderly, supporting awareness of old parents, and self-esteem. In view of the results of this study, one of the strategic ways to help college students reduce aging anxiety is to provide an opportunity to participate in activities that they can experience positive relationship with elderly.
