Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a convergence suggestion of health care and social welfare services by empirically analyzing the effects of chronic diseases and quality of life on subjective health cognition in single-household women aged 60 or over. This study was based on the 2016-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and 1,111 women who had been divorced or bereaved in single-household aged 60 or over were selected. As a result, it was arthritis that showed the largest average difference in subjective health cognition according to the prevalence of chronic diseases. And in the multiple regression analysis that was controlled for demographic characteristics, chronic disease had a negative (-) effect on subjective health cognition, and quality of life had a positive (+) effect on subjective health cognition. The negative (-) factor that had the greatest effect on subjective health cognition was diabetes(-0.084) among chronic diseases, and the positive (+) factor was mobility(+0.173) among the quality of life. Therefore, it suggests that health care services for chronic diseases should be strengthened in order to improve the subjective health cognition of single-person households over 60 years old, and social welfare policies to improve the quality of life should be considered together in a convergence.

본 연구는 60세 이상 1인 가구 여성의 만성질환과 삶의 질이 주관적 건강인지에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하여, 보건의료와 사회복지서비스의 융합적인 제언을 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 국민건강영양조사 2016-2019 자료를 활용하였으며, 연구대상은 이혼 혹은 사별한 60세 이상 1인 가구의 여성 1,111명을 선정하였다. 연구결과, 만성질환 유병에 따른 주관적 건강인지의 평균 차이가 가장 크게 나타난 것은 관절염이었다. 그리고 인구사회학적 특성들을 통제한 다중회귀분석에서, 주관적 건강인지에 가장 큰 부적(-) 영향을 미치는 요인은 만성질환 가운데 당뇨병(-0.084)이었으며, 정적(+) 요인은 삶의 질 가운데 운동능력(+0.173)이었다. 따라서 60세 이상 1인 가구 여성의 주관적 건강인지를 향상시키기 위해 만성질환에 대한 보건의료서비스를 강화하고 삶의 질을 개선하기 위한 사회복지정책이 융합적으로 함께 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.
