본 연구는 노후불안인식의 수준과 노후불안인식에 영향을 주는 요인을 각 연령집단별로 살펴보고, 노후불안을 낮추기 위해 사회적으로 어떠한 대안이 마련되어야 하는지 탐색하기 위한 목적으로 진행되었다. "2017 연령통합 설문 조사" 자료를 사용하였으며, 총 1,017명의 조사대상자를 청년층 307명, 중년층 357명, 노년층 353명의 3개 연령집단으로 구분하여 노후불안인식 영향 요인들을 비교분석하였다. 각 연령집단 간 노후불안인식의 정도에 차이가 있는지 분산분석을 통해 살펴보았으며, 노후불안인식에 대한 각 변수들의 영향력을 다중회귀분석을 통해 분석해 보았다. 분석결과, 각 연령집단별 노후불안인식에는 차이가 없었으나, 그에 영향을 미치는 요인에는 집단 간 차이가 있었다. 노후불안인식에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석한 회귀분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 노인낙인은 모든 연령집단에서 노후불안인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 근로가능연령은 청년층과 중년층에서 노후불안인식에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 사회공정성인식은 중년층과 노년층에서 노후불안인식에 영향을 주는 요인으로 분석되었다. 연령통합인식과 고령친화적 환경 변인은 노년층에서만 노후불안인식에 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 본 연구는 노후불안에 대해 사회적 관점에서 접근하고자 하였으며, 노년기에 대한 인식과 사회 환경에 대한 인식과의 연관성을 통해 실증적으로 규명하고자 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify aging anxiety and influencing factors of middle-aged adults. Methods: Descriptive correlation design was used. Three hundred and three middle-aged adults participated in the study and completed the questionnaires in the period from September 11 to October 15 of 2011. The data was analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchial multiple regression analysis. Results: Aging anxiety of middle-aged adults was higher than a moderate level. Socio-demographic variables such as age, religion, education, economic level, perceived health status and experience of living with older adults influenced significantly on aging anxiety. In contrast, general self-efficacy, aging knowledge and attitude toward older adults were negatively correlated with aging anxiety. Hierarchial multiple regression analysis incorporating these variables showed an explanation rate of aging anxiety at 21%. And religion, perceived health status, attitude toward older adults, and general self-efficacy were statistically significant among variables that influence on aging anxiety. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that senior preparation programs that can enhance self-efficacy, induce positive attitude on older adults and promote health should be implemented to reduce aging anxiety of middle-aged adults.

Purpose: This is a descriptive research examining the relationships between aging anxiety, perceived level of successful aging, and preparation for aging as well as factors influencing preparation for aging. Methods: Subjects of this study were 221 women aged between 40 and 59 years residing in area J. Data were collected from October 27, 2017 to November 9, 2017, using a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS/WIN 24.0. Results: Regression analysis revaled that factors having a significant effect on the preparation for aging of the subjects were age, perceived health status, exercise, leisure activity, aging anxiety, and perception of successful aging. The total explanatory power was 42.3%. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it was found that aging anxiety and successful aging influenced the preparation for aging of middle-aged women. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a nursing intervention that properly manage aging anxiety and improves successful aging, in order to encourage middle-aged women to actively prepare for their later lives.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of physical fitness and aging anxiety on life satisfaction among the elderly. Methods: The participants were 119 elderly. Data collection was conducted from July 1 to 10, 2018. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS software. Results: The mean life satisfaction score was 4.10. Life satisfaction differed significantly according to several general characteristics: education level (p=.014), income (p<.001), living with partner (p=.041), perceived health status (p<.001), and number of chronic diseases (p<.001). Statistically significant positive relationships were observed between life satisfaction with muscle strength (r=.20) and, flexibility (r=.21), and a negative relationship was observed with aging anxiety (r=-.66). A total of 60.0% of life satisfaction was explained by income, perceived health status, muscle strength, flexibility, and aging anxiety. Conclusion: These results can be used to develop life sports programs to improve physical, social, and emotional health promotion with consideration for support to alleviate economic burden. Effect of life sports are evident as a way for healthy and energetic elderly. It should not be a simple exercise program but an integrated plan for improving physical, mental, and social health of the elderly.
