Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a morale promotion program on morale, depression and suicidal thoughts of women elderly in rural area. A non-equivalent control group pre-post test study design was used. The participants were 62 women from O province (experimental group = 28, control group = 34). The experimental group were participated in a total of eight-session, twice a week for four weeks. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, χ2-test, independent t-test using SPSS 26.0 program. After a eight-week of intervention, there was a significant difference in morale (t=2.09, p=.040) and depression(t=-2.98, p=.004) between two groups except for suicidal thoughts (t=-0.47, p=.638). Therefore, the study morale promotion program has proven to be effective in improving morale, and reducing depression of participants.

연구의 목적은 농촌 거주 여성 노인을 대상으로 사기증진 프로그램을 제공하고 사기, 우울 및 자살사고에 미치는 효과를 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구는 비동등성 대조군 전후설계를 이용하였다. 연구 대상자는 O 지역에 거주하는 65세 이상 여성 노인 62명이다(실험군= 28명, 대조군= 34명). 실험군은 4주 동안 주 2회, 총 8회기의 사기증진 프로그램에 참여하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 26.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계, χ2-test, independent t-test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 8주 중재 후, 자살사고(t=-0.47, p=.638)를 제외하고 사기(t=2.09, p=.040)와 우울(t=-2.98, p=.004)에서 실험군과 대조군 간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 사기증진프로그램은 대상자의 사기를 증진시키고, 우울을 감소하는데 유의한 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
