Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of helplessness, depression, subjective health status, family support, and social support on health promoting behaviors of elderly people over 65 years old. The subjects of this study were 3 welfare centers in G city and C city, 3 senior citizen center and 225 elderly people in 2 geriatric hospital, and this study was analyzed with descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation, confirmatory factor analysis, fitness test, total effect, direct effect, and indirect effect. The direct effects of variables affecting health promoting behaviors were social support, depression, family support, subjective health status, and helplessness. These variables accounted for 66% of health promoting behaviors. Depression, helplessness had a significant indirect effect on family support and social support, and subjective health status had a significant indirect effect on social support, but didn't have a significant indirect effect on family support. In this paper, we propose a new approach to elderly's health promoting behaviors and it is recommended that an intervention program be developed and applied to on personal situation should be necessary for elder's depression, helplessness and subjective health status.
