Abstract

The purpose of this study was to confirm the relationship between self-esteem, family strength, and awareness of support for the elderly among college students, and to identify factors that affect awareness of support for the elderly. The participants of the study were 131 college students, and data was collected using a structured questionnaire from March 26 to April 11, 2024. Data analysis was performed using Independent t-test, One way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study showed a positive correlation between self-esteem and family strength (r=.49, p<.001), and between family health and awareness of support for the elderly (r=.30, p<.001). Factors that influence the participant's awareness of support for the elderly are age (β=-.18, p=.029), sibling status (β=.18, p=.027), and family strength (β=.26, p=.002). Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to have college students actively participate in programs related to the elderly so that they can have a positive attitude toward the elderly and establish correct values through continuous interaction with the elderly.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 자아존중감, 가족건강성 및 노인부양의식과의 관련성을 확인하고, 노인부양의식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 대학생 131명으로 2024년 3월 26일부터 4월 11일까지 구조화된 설문지로 자료수집을 시행하였다. 자료분석은 Independent t-test, One way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, Multiple regression analysis를 시행하였다. 연구결과 자아존중감과 가족건강성(r=.49, p<.001), 가족건강성과 노인부양의식(r=.30, p<.001) 간에는 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 대상자의 노인부양의식에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령(β=-.18, p=.029), 형제자매여부(β=.18, p=.027), 가족건강성(β=.26, p=.002)으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 대학생이 노인에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 가지도록 노인관련 프로그램에 적극 참여하도록 하며, 노인과의 지속적인 교류를 통해 올바른 가치관을 정립하게 하도록 하는 것이 필요하다.
