Abstract

The purpose of the Convergence study is to identify the factors of health-related quality of life for the elderly and provide the basic data needed to improve the quality of life for the elderly. The objects of the study were 1,367 people aged 65 or older living in Korea out of the original data for the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Year 2017). Multiple regression analyses was performed by using the SPSS/PC 21.0 statistical program for the purpose of the study. According to the study, mental health and then physical activity were the most influential factors in health-related quality of life. Based on these results, we found that health education is highly important to provide customized health care services and to build the correct lifestyle in order to improve the quality of health-related life. Therefore, follow-up research is needed to identify the effectiveness of developing and applying diverse programs to enhance mental health and physical activity of the elderly in the future.

본 연구의 목적은 노인들의 보건행태가 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 요인을 파악하여 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질 향상에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위한 융합연구이다. 연구대상은 질병관리본부의 국민건강영양조사 제 7기 2차년도(2017년) 원 자료 중 한국에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 1,367건을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 연구 목적에 맞추어 SPSS/PC 21.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 다중 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 건강관련 삶의 질에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 정신건강이고 다음이 신체활동이었다. 이 결과를 토대로 건강관련 삶의 질을 높이기 위해 지역사회 의료기관이나 보건소가 연계한 맞춤형 건강관리 서비스 제공 및 올바른 생활습관 형성을 위한 보건교육이 매우 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 노인들의 정신건강과 신체활동 증진을 위한 다양한 프로그램 개발과 적용 효과를 규명하는 후속 연구가 필요하다.
