초록

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 심리적 특성을 파악하고 이러한 심리적 특성들 중 노인들의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 변수의 탐색에 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 자존감, 소외감, 상실감, 우울감 등의 심리적 특성을 선정하였으며, 광주광역시에 거주하는 노인들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 총 218부를 회수하여 부실한 응답을 제외한 203부를 분석대상으로 하였다. 연구문제에 대한 연구결과를 얻기 위해 설문지를 통한 양적분석 방법을 택하였으며, SPSSWIN 21.0 통계 프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 빈도, 비율분석, 기술적 통계분석, 이변량 상관관계 분석, 선형회귀분석 등을 활용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 노인들의 심리적 특성들 간의 관계에 있어서 노인들의 자존감, 소외감, 상실감, 우울감, 삶의 만족 등은 서로 유의미한 상관성을 보여주었다. 둘째, 노인들에게 있어서 소외감과 우울감은 삶의 만족에 부적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 자존감은 삶의 만족도에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 상실감은 삶의 만족에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 이러한 내용들을 종합해 볼 때, 노인들의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 자존감 향상, 그리고 소외감과 우울감 감소를 위한 정책과 프로그램들을 개발해 운영할 필요성을 시사하였다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the psychological characteristics of the elderly and to investigate the variables that affect the life satisfaction of the elderly. To achieve this purpose, psychological characteristics such as self-esteem, alienation, loss, and depression were selected. A survey was conducted on the elderly living in Gwangju Metropolitan City. A total of 218 copies were collected and 203 copies were analyzed, excluding poor responses. To draw the results of the research, quantitative analysis was conducted through questionnaires, and SPSSWIN 21.0 statistical program was used as an analysis tool. The analysis methods were frequency and ratio analysis, technical statistical analysis, bivariate correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, the relationship between the psychological characteristics of the elderly showed significant correlations among the self-esteem, alienation, loss, depression, and life satisfaction of the elderly. Second, for the elderly, alienation and depression had a negative effect on life satisfaction, and self-esteem had a positive effect on life satisfaction. However, loss did not have a significant effect on life satisfaction. In conclusion, it suggests that it is necessary to develop and operate policies and programs to improve self-esteem and reduce alienation and depression in order to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
