Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of change of social relations due to COVID-19 on life satisfaction and to examine mediating effect of leisure satisfaction in the relationship between change of social relations due to COVID-19 and life satisfaction of older people. This study utilized 2021 Social Survey data and 7,203 older persons aged over 65 years were analyzed. Multiple regression analyses were used for the analyses and significance of mediating effect was tested using bootstrapping methods. Study findings showed that change of social relations due to COVID-19 had a significant effect on life satisfaction of older people. That is, those who experienced increasing distance from neighbors and friends reported lower level of life satisfaction. Also, leisure satisfaction partially mediated the effects of change of social relations due to COVID-19 on life satisfaction. Results of this study suggest that various interventions are needed to prevent a decrease of quality of life of older people in times during which social distancing can be necessary like COVID-19 pandemic.

본 연구는 코로나19로 인한 사회관계의 변화가 노인의 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 사회관계 변화와 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 여가만족도가 매개효과를 가지는지 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 2021년 사회조사자료를 활용하였으며, 65세 이상 노인 7,203명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 분석을 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 매개효과의 유의미성은 부트스트래핑(bootstrapping) 방법을 사용하여 검증하였다. 연구결과 코로나19로 인한 사회관계변화는 노인의 삶의 만족도에 유의미하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 코로나19로 인해 이웃과의 관계 및 친구와의 관계가 멀어진 경우 노인의 삶의 만족도가 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 여가만족도는 코로나19로 인한 사회관계 변화가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 코로나19와 같이 사회적 거리두기가 필요할 수 있는 상황에서 노인의 삶의 질 저하를 방지하기 위한 다양한 개입이 필요함을 제시한다.
