Abstract
In this study to identify a causal relationship between daily stress, ego-resilience and the quality of life of the elderly in long-term care facility, a causal relationship model was set up and path analysis was performed. The data collected from 380 elderly users in private long-term care facilities in Greater Seoul Metropolitan area were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 to analyze the correlation between daily stress, ego-resilience, and the quality of life of the elderly. The results of this study are as follows; First, daily stress of the elderly showed a negative (-) direct effect on the quality of life. Second, the ego-resilience of the elderly had a positive (+) direct effect on the quality of life. Third, daily stress of the elderly showed a positive (+) direct effect on ego-resilience. Fourth, daily stress of the elderly showed indirect effect and partial mediating effect on the quality of life through ego-resilience. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life of the elderly, it is necessary to develop programs and institutional support to reduce daily stress and increase ego-resilience.
