Abstract

This study examined the effects of leisure activity, self-esteem, and the achievement on mental wellbeing among the elderly. The participants in this cross-sectional, descriptive study were 149 elderly who completed a self-report structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple linear regression analyses with SPSS statistics 20 program. The mental well-being averaged 51.5 (${\pm}15.1$); leisure activity averaged 26.2 (${\pm}6.5$); self-esteem averaged 30.2 (${\pm}5.2$), and self-esteem averaged 44.4 (${\pm}8.3$). The mental well being of the elderly was positively correlated with all three variables. The leisure activity, self-esteem, and achievement were strong predictors of the mental well-being among the elderly. These variables explained 42.7% of the variance in mental wellbeing. The results suggest that the elderly are satisfied with their own situations and abilities, have a positive mind by accepting their present state of being, continue social interactions through active leisure activities, and set specific goals. The mental well-being of the elderly can be improved.

본 연구는 노인들을 대상으로 여가활동, 자아존중감, 성취감이 정신적 웰빙에 영향을 파악하고자 하는 횡단적 서술적 조사연구이다. 149명의 대상자가 설문조사에 참여하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS statics 20 프로그램을 사용하여 일반적 특성 및 연구 변수에 대한 분포의 특성은 빈도분석과 기술통계를 실시하고, 여가 활동, 자아존중감, 성취감과 정신적 웰빙의 상관관계는 Pearson correlation으로 분석하였으며, 영향요인은 다중 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 정신적 웰빙의 정도는 평균 $51.5({\pm}15.1)$점, 여가활동은 평균 $26.2({\pm}6.5)$점, 자아존중감은 평균 $30.2({\pm}5.2)$, 성취감은 평균 $44.4({\pm}8.3)$점으로 나타났다. 노인의 정신적 웰빙은 여가활동(r=.47, p<.001), 자아존중감(r=.55, p<.001), 성취감(r=.45, p<.001) 모두에서 양의 상관관계를 보여주었으며, 영향을 미치는 요인은 자아존중감, 여가활동, 성취감 순이었다. 이들 변인의 정신적 웰빙에 대한 설명력은 42.7%였다. 이상의 결과에서 노인 자신이 처한 상황이나 능력에 대해 스스로 만족하고 현재 있는 그대로의 모습을 수용함으로써 긍정적인 마인드를 갖게 하고, 적극적인 여가활동을 통해 사회적 상호작용을 지속하고, 구체적인 목표를 세우고 성취활동을 반복함으로써 노인의 정신적 웰빙이 향상될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
