Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of helplessness, depression, subjective health status, family support, and social support on health promoting behaviors of elderly people over 65 years old. The subjects of this study were 3 welfare centers in G city and C city, 3 senior citizen center and 225 elderly people in 2 geriatric hospital, and this study was analyzed with descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation, confirmatory factor analysis, fitness test, total effect, direct effect, and indirect effect. The direct effects of variables affecting health promoting behaviors were social support, depression, family support, subjective health status, and helplessness. These variables accounted for 66% of health promoting behaviors. Depression, helplessness had a significant indirect effect on family support and social support, and subjective health status had a significant indirect effect on social support, but didn't have a significant indirect effect on family support. In this paper, we propose a new approach to elderly's health promoting behaviors and it is recommended that an intervention program be developed and applied to on personal situation should be necessary for elder's depression, helplessness and subjective health status.

본 연구의 목적은 65세 이상의 노인을 대상으로 무력감, 우울, 주관적 건강상태, 가족지지, 사회지지가 건강증진행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상은 G시와 C시의 복지관 3개소, 경로당 3개소, 요양병원 2개소의 노인 225명이었으며, 서술적 통계, 신뢰도, 상관관계, 확인적 요인분석, 적합도 검증, 총효과, 직접효과, 간접효과로 분석하였다. 연구결과 건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는 변수들의 직접효과는 사회지지, 우울, 가족지지와 주관적 건강상태, 무력감 순으로 나타났고 이들 변인들은 건강증진행위를 66% 설명하였다. 우울과 무력감은 가족지지와 사회지지를 통한 유의한 간접효과가 있었으며, 주관적 건강상태는 사회지지를 통한 간접효과는 유의하였으나 가족지지를 통한 간접효과는 유의하지 않았다. 따라서 사회지지를 높일 수 있는 다양한 프로그램 개발, 지역사회와의 연계를 통한 지지체계 구축이 필요하며 이는 가족지지와 상호보완적인 역할을 할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 노인의 우울과 무력감, 주관적 건강상태는 개인별 상황에 따른 적절한 개입을 통한 간호중재 제공 및 지속적인 관리체계가 필요하다고 사료된다.
