Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of self-rated health on life satisfaction among Korean babyboomers and to address the mediating effect of depression on the self-rated health-life satisfaction relationship. Further, this study attempted to identify any relationship between self-rated health, depression, and life satisfaction among babyboomers according to work status. Researchers conducted a secondary data analysis using the 6th wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging. The final sample was 2,479 babyboomers born between 1955 and 1963. Testing the mediating effect of depression was done by the significance of direct, indirect, and total effects. Researchers also compared an unconstrained model with constrained model for multiple group analysis. Results indicate that self-rated health was a significant factor in determining the life satisfaction of babyboomers. In addition, depression had a significant mediating effect on the self-rated health and life satisfaction of babyboomers. Multiple group analysis demonstrated, in the non-working babyboomer model, the effects of self-rated health and depression on life satisfaction, and the effect of depression on life satisfaction was stronger than that of the working babyboomer model. The results of this study have established the importance of health and working status in addressing depression and life satisfaction among babyboomers.

본 연구의 목적은 베이비부머의 주관적 건강상태가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 우울의 매개효과를 분석하는데 있다. 또한 다중집단분석을 통해 근로여부에 따른 주관적 건강상태, 우울, 삶의 만족도의 관계에 차이가 있는지를 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 고령화연구패널조사의 6차년도 데이터를 이용하여 2차자료 분석을 진행하였으며, 연구대상은 6차년도 조사대상자 9,913명 중 1955년에서 1963년에 태어난 베이비부머 2,479명이다. 연구방법은 각 변수들간의 경로분석을 통해 상관관계를 파악하기 위해 구조방정식을 이용하였으며, 우울의 매개효과는 효과분해를 통해 직접 효과, 간접효과, 총효과를 분석하였다. 주관적 건강, 우울, 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 근로여부에 따른 집단간 차이는 자유 모델과 제약모델의 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 연구결과, 베이비부머가 자각하는 건강상태가 좋을수록 삶의 만족도는 높아지고, 우울감은 낮아졌다. 그리고 우울감이 높은 베이비부머일수록 삶의 만족도가 낮아져, 우울이 주관적 건강상태과 삶의 만족도의 관계를 매개하였다. 근로를 하지 않는 베이비부머의 경우 주관적 건강상태와 우울정도가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향력이 근로를 하는 베이비부머의 경우보다 높았다. 또한 우울이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향도 근로를 하지 않는 베이비부머 모형에서 더 크게 나타났으며, 이러한 두 집단 간의 차이는 통계적으로 유의했다. 이를 통해 베이비부머의 우울 감소를 위한 보호요인으로써 주관적 건강상태의 개선이 필요하며 근로활성화를 통해 노년기에 접어든 베이비붐 세대의 삶의 만족도를 긍정적으로 강화할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
