Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of functional levels, environment and lifestyle of elderly to their health and quality of life. Data collection was conducted by using a self-administered questionnaire from April. 2019 to May. 2019 and the target was selected 200 community-dwelling older adults who lived in their community. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 programs. As a result, functional levels and physical activity affect health directly and functional levels, activity participation, nutrition and health affect quality of life. Although environment not affect health and quality of life directly, it influence on nutrition and activity participation. Therefore, management of functional levels, environment and healthy lifestyle would be needed so as to enhance health and quality of life of elderly. These findings are expected to be utilized for evidence in order to establish policies and services which are related to health and welfare of elderly.

본 연구의 목적은 고령자의 기능 수준, 환경과 라이프스타일이 건강과 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 자료수집은 2019년도 4월부터 2019년도 5월까지 자기기입식 설문지를 사용하였으며, 조사대상은 전국의 65세 이상, 지역사회에 거주하는 고령자 200명으로 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0 통계프로그램을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 고령자의 기능 수준과 신체적 활동은 직접적으로 건강에 영향을 미치며, 기능 수준, 활동참여, 식이와 건강은 삶의 질에 직접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 건강과 삶의 질에 직접적인 영향을 미치지는 않지만, 환경적 요인은 식이와 활동참여에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 고령자의 건강과 삶의 질 향상을 위해서는 이에 영향을 미치는 기능 수준, 환경과 건강한 라이프스타일 관리가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 노인보건복지 관련 정책 및 서비스를 수립하는 데 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
