Abstract
This study aimed to provide basic data to assist in developing programs to improve the quality of life after identifying the factors affecting aging anxiety among middle-aged women. The subjects were 256 middle-aged women in Korea. Data were collected from March 8 to April 11, 2019, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0. This study found that the aging anxiety of the subjects differed significantly according to job and marriage satisfaction. Aging anxiety had a negative correlation with health perceived health (r=-.300, p<.001), resilience (r=-.537, p<.001), satisfaction of married life (r=-.316, p<.001), and self-esteem (r=-.424, p<.000). The factors affecting aging anxiety were as follows: resilience (β=-.47, p<.001), occupation (β=-.19, p=.003), and self-esteem (β=-.19, p=.014) with 36.9% explanatory power (F=14.34, p<.001). To reduce the aging anxiety of middle-aged people, programs will be needed to improve participation in post-middle-aged jobs or social activities and resilience, self-esteem, thereby providing education and mediation that can allow middle-aged women to accept aging positively.
