Abstract

This study examined the degree of climacteric symptoms, hardiness and middle-life crises. The survey period was from 25 May to 10 September, 2013 with workers in small business workplaces in Jeonnam. The data was collected by a self-questionnaire and SPSS Win 18.0 was used for data analysis. As an accounting hierarchical analysis result, middle-life crisis was affected by exercise, and the relationship with the spouse and child with an explanatory power of 25.1%. Additional input climacteric symptoms showed more explanatory power (21.1%). In addition, exercise, education, relationship with the spouse, relationship with child, income, and climacteric symptoms were predictors of a mid-life crisis with explanatory power of 42.7%. Therefore, to successfully overcome mid-life crises, a range of nursing interventions should be provided to make a positive self-control and intimate relationship with the spouse of middle-aged men.

본 연구는 중년남성의 갱년기 증상, 강인성, 중년 위기감에 대한 정도를 파악하고, 중년 위기감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 중년 위기감의 극복을 위한 전략을 개발하는데 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구는 2013년 5월 25일부터 9월 10일까지 전남지역 중소기업에 재직 중인 근로자를 대상으로 실시하였다. 자료는 자기기입식 설문지로 수집되었으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 18.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 위계적 회귀분석 결과, 중년위기감에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 운동, 배우자 관계, 자녀관계가 25.1%의 설명력을 나타내었으며, 갱년기 증상을 추가 입력하였을 때 갱년기 증상이 설명력 21.1%을 더 보였으며, 운동여부, 교육상태, 배우자 관계, 자녀관계, 월수입, 갱년기 증상의 예측변수는 중년 위기감을 42.7% 설명하였다. 따라서 중년남성이 중년 위기를 잘 극복하기 위해서는 긍정적인 자기관리 및 친밀한 배우자 관계형성 등 본 연구 결과의 영향요인을 고려한 중년 위기감 극복을 위한 프로그램 제공이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
