초록

본 연구는 농촌 지역 여성노인의 수영 활동 참여에 따른 신체적·정신적·사회적 건강상태를 비교한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 C도 G군에 거주하고 있는 여성노인 중 주 3회, 1년 이상 수영 활동에 참여한 41명과 수영 활동을 하지 않은 여성 노인 43명을 대상으로 2019년 12월 2일~2020년 1월 10일까지 6주 동안 자료를 수집하였다. 자료 분석 결과, 수영 활동 참여군과 미참여군은 신체적 건강상태(통증(t=-2.84, p=.006), 유연성(t=2.07, p=.041)), 정신적 건강상태(지각된 건강상태(t=6.16, p=.000), 우울(t=-3.73, p=.000)), 사회적 건강상태(대인관계강화(t=2.51, p=.014))에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 즉, 수영 활동 참여군이 미참여군보다 신체적·정신적·사회적으로 건강한 상태임을 확인하였다. 따라서 농촌 지역 여성노인의 신체적·정신적·사회적 건강상태를 증진하기 위하여 지역사회 내 체육시설을 활용한 수영 활동에 대한 적극적인 장려와 지원이 뒤따라야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to compare the physical, psychological, and social well-being of elderly women living in rural areas depending on their participation in swimming activities. Study sample consisted of 41 elderly women residing in the G province of C region who participated in swimming activities at least 3 times per week for one or more years, and 43 elderly women of the same area who did not participate in swimming activities. Data was collected over the course of 6 weeks. Analysis of the data showed that there are significant differences between participants and non-participants of swimming activities in their physical well-being(pain, flexibility), psychological well-being(perceived health status, depression), and their social well-being(strengthened interpersonal relations). In other words, participants of swimming activities, compared to non-participants, were in better physical, psychological, and social conditions. Thus, active encouragement and support must be in place for elderly women in rural areas to engage in swimming activities by utilizing local swimming facilities.
