Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the model of suicide ideation in the elderly living alone. This study is a descriptive research study of 300 elderly living alone in C-region. It is a frequency analysis, correlation analysis, simple rare analysis. AMOS statistics were performed. Data collection was from October 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. The results of this study are as follows. Family support has a direct effect on suicidal ideation(need for suicide ${\beta}=-.362$, p=.000, negative attitudes toward life ${\beta}=-.259$, p=.001). The results of this study suggest that strengthening the family support and social activities of the elderly living alone reduces the suicidal ideation and builds the social safety net, which leads to the emotional stability and the related policy establishment.

본 연구는 독거노인의 자살생각에 대한 구조모형 분석을 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구는 C 지역에 거주하는 독거노인 300명을 대상으로 한 서술적 조사연구이며 빈도분석, Pearson's correlation coefficients 산출 및 다중희귀분석, AMOS 통계를 실시하였다. 자료수집은 2016년 10월 1일부터 2016년 12월 31일 까지다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 가족지지, 사회활동은 자살생각에 부적상관관계를 보였다. 가족지지는 경제활동, 종교활동, 자원봉사, 지역사회참여에 직접효과를 나타냈고 통계적으로 모두 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 있었다. 가족지지는 자살생각(자살욕구 ${\beta}=-362$, p=.000, 삶에 대한 부정적 태도 ${\beta}=-.259$, p=.001)에 직접효과가 유의하게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 독거노인의 가족지지 및 사회활동을 강화시켜 자살생각을 줄이고 사회적 안전망을 구축하여 정서적 안정감을 초래하고 관련된 정책수립이 우선적임을 시사한다.
