초록

본 연구는 독거노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 실천대안을 모색하고자 사회환경적, 심리적, 신체적 요인 등 융복합적 요인들과 건강관련 삶의 질 간의 관련성을 구조방정식모형으로 검증하였다. 연구대상은 2014년 지역사회건강 조사 대상자 중 65세 이상 1인 가구의 13,771명이다. 분석자료는 사회자본, 스트레스, 주관적 건강상태, EQ-5D이고, SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0으로 분석했다. 분석결과 모형의 적합도는 CFI=.906, GFI=.955, RMSEA=.074로 양호한 수치였다. 변수 간 관련성은 독거노인의 사회자본은 스트레스 감소 및 주관적 건강상태를 높이고, 삶의 질 향상으로 이어졌다. 따라서 독거노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위해서는 독거노인 돌봄서비스 확대 및 이들이 참여할 수 있는 공간 마련 등 사회자본 증대를 위한 방안이 요구된다.
