본 연구의 목적은 지역사회 거주 노인의 죽음준비 실태와 영향 요인을 조사하기 위함이다. 이 연구는 보건복지부와 한국보건사회연구원에서 2014년 3월부터 9월까지 조사한 '2014년 노인실태조사' 자료를 활용한 이차자료 분석연구로 대상자는 10,281명이다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/WIN 23.0 program을 이용하여 $x^2-test$, t-test, multiple logistic regression을 이용하였다. 본 연구결과 대상자의 37.7%가 죽음준비를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 죽음준비 유형은 묘지 준비, 수의 마련, 상조회 가입, 죽음준비 교육, 유서작성 순이었으며, 정신적 죽음준비에 비해 의례적 죽음준비를 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 대상자의 죽음준비 영향 요인으로는 성별, 연령, 거주지역, 교육수준, 결혼상태, 경제수준, 활동 제한과 삶의 만족도로 확인되었다. 여성 노인인 경우(CI=1.02-1.25), 연령이 많을수록(CI=1.90-2.28), 동지역보다 읍면지역에 거주하는 경우(CI=1.21-1.45), 학력이 높을수록(CI=1.16-1.42), 미혼, 이혼등의 경우에 비해 배우자가 있거나(CI=1.50-3.22) 사별한 경우(CI=1.58-2.84), 경제 수준이 높을수록(CI=1.13-1.36), 활동 제한이 있을수록(CI=1.11-1.40) 그리고 삶의 만족도에서 경제적 수준이 높을수록(CI=1.17-1.35), 자녀와의 관계가 만족할수록(CI=1.25-1.43), 친구 및 지역사회에 만족할수록(CI=1.10-1.28) 죽음준비를 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 추후 관련 기관에서는 지역사회 거주 노인을 대상으로 정신적 죽음준비를 강화할 수 있는 다양한 교육프로그램을 개발하고 제공하여야 할 것이며, 이때 노인의 성별, 거주지역 등의 개인적 특성을 고려하여야 함을 시사한다.
