본 연구의 목적은 노인대상 자원봉사활동 프로그램이 대학생의 노인 및 노인복지에 대한 인식에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것에 있다. 조사대상은 사회복지관련 학과 대학생 72명이다. 이 중 자원봉사 프로그램에 참여한 학생 34명을 실험집단, 참가하지 않은 학생 38명을 통제집단으로 선정하였다. 실험집단은 사회복지사로부터 노인대상 재가복지 서비스 자원봉사활동에 관한 기본적인 교육을 받았으며, 일주일에 한 번씩 4개월 간 대상자 노인의 집을 방문하여 말벗해드리기, 건강 체크 등의 재가복지 서비스를 제공하였다. 설문조사는 두 집단 모두 자원봉사 프로그램 시작 전과 프로그램이 끝난 후 두 차례에 걸쳐 실시되었다. 설문조사 내용에는 노인에 대한 태도를 알아보는 척도와, 노인에 대한 공경심, 노인복지에 대한 지식 및 관심도를 알아보기 위한 4점 리커트 척도가 포함되었다. 사전조사결과 실험집단이 통제집단 보다 노인복지에 대한 관심도가 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 노인에 대한 태도, 노인에 대한 공경심, 노인복지에 대한 지식 측면에서는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 사후조사결과 통제집단은 사전조사결과와 유의미한 차이가 없었으나, 실험집단의 경우 프로그램에 참여한 이후 노인에 대한 태도가 보다 긍정적으로 변화하였으며, 노인에 대한 공경심도 보다 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 노인대상 자원봉사 활동이 학생들의 노인에 대한 의식을 보다 긍정적으로 변화시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 노인 자원봉사활동의 성과를 성공적 노화나 생산적 노화가 아닌 노인의 자기효능감과 자기확장성의 관점에서 연구하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 노년기에 일어날 수 있는 내적성장과 자가의 확장을 검증 할 수 있으며, 노년기 삶을 재조명하는 계기를 마련하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 이러한 연구목적을 검증하기 위하여 부산광역시의 시청 및 구청에서 진행하는 자원봉사활동에 참여한 노인 300명을 연구대상으로 하여, 2018년 9월부터 11월까지 약 3개월에 걸쳐 설문지를 배부하여 불성실하게 응답되었다고 판단된 34부의 설문지를 제외한 후 266부의 자료를 본 연구에 사용하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인의 자원봉사활동참여 동기(가치기능, 사회기능, 이해기능)는 자기효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자원봉사활동참여 동기(가치기능, 사회기능, 이해기능)는 자기확장성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 노인의 자기효능감(자기조절 효능감, 자신감)은 자기확장성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 자기효능감((자기조절 효능감, 자신감)은 노인의 자원봉사활동 참여동기와 자기확장성의 관계에서 매개효과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 노인의 자원봉사활동 참여동기가 자기효능감과 자기확장성에 영향을 미친다는 관련성을 규명 하였다. 특히, 노인에게 심리사회적 개념인 자기효능감의 매개변수를 활용하여, 노인복지의연구의 새로운 관점을 제공함으로써 향후 노인의 자원봉사활동 활성화를 위한 실천적, 정책적 방안을 제시하였다는데 연구의 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 노인의 지속적 자원봉사활동 경험이 그들의 삶에 부여하는 의미와 본질은 어떤 것인가를 이해하기 위해 Giorgi의 현상학적 연구방법을 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 짧게는 6년, 길게는 23년 이상 지속적으로 봉사활동에 참여하고 있는 전라북도 거주 노인 5명을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, '마음에서 우러나옴', '노후에 새로운 삶을 발견함', '아낌없이 주는 즐거움', '삶의 중심으로 들어온 봉사활동', '쉼 없는 봉사활동'이라는 5개의 구성요소를 도출하고, 본질적 주제는 '다시 찾은 활기 찬 삶의 기쁨'으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 노인의 지속적 자원봉사활동 경험의 본질은 '성공적 노후생활의 구성요소'와 대체로 일치한다. 따라서 자원봉사활동이 '개인적 차원의 선행'이라는 의미에서 '성공적 노후생활'의 실현을 위한 사회적 차원의 조건이라는 의미로 해석되어야 하는 인식론적 전환이 이루어져야 할 것이고, 이를 구현하기 위해 국가 및 공공차원의 지원 대책이 적극 마련되어야 할 것이다.
