Abstract

This study was undertaken to provide basic data for the development of a mental health promotion intervention program, by confirming the mediating effects of social support in relation to the effect on the life stress and meaning of life in middle-aged women. The subjects of this study were 201 middle-aged women from D and K cities. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlations using a statistical program for structural equation modeling (SEM); fitness of the final model was RMSEA 0.03, CFI 0.98, and NFI 0.95. The major learning from this study was that life stress has a direct effect on meaning of life and social support. Life stress (β=0.05, p< 0.001), meaning of life (β=0.05, p< 0.001), and social support (β=0.05, p< 0.001) have a significant and direct effect on depression. The findings also suggest that life stress indirectly affects the mediating effect between meaning of life and social support, and also depression of middle-aged women. We believe that results of this study encompass basic data that will aid in developing a program to promote the mental health of middle-aged women.

본 연구는 중년여성의 생활 스트레스와 우울 간의 관계에서 사회적 지지와 삶의 의미의 매개효과를 확인하여 중년여성의 정신건강 증진을 위한 프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상자는 D시와 K시 소재 중년여성 중 본 연구에 참여하기를 동의한 201명을 대상으로 자가 보고형 설문지를 이용하였으며, 2018년 3월 4일 부터 30일까지 자료 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 경로분석을 실시하였으며, 최종 모형의 적합지수는 RMSEA .03, CFI .98, NFI .95로 나타났다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 중년여성의 생활 스트레스는 삶의 의미와 사회적 지지에 직접효과가 확인되었고, 생활 스트레스(β=.05, p< .001), 삶의 의미(β=.05, p< .001), 사회적 지지(β=.05, p< .001)는 우울에 직접효과가 유의한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 생활 스트레스는 삶의 의미와 사회적 지지를 매개하여 우울에 간접효과가 유의한 것으로 확인되어 삶의 의미와 사회적 지지는 부분 매개효과가 확인되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 중년여성의 정신건강 증진 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
