Abstract

This study was to examine the effects of depression, avoidance coping and quality of life on suicidal ideation of elders living at home. A descriptive survey study was conducted with a survey of 509 older people in person 50 senior center at G city from November 30, 2017 to 1. The data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression using IBM SPSS WIN 24.0 program. The mean score of the was depression $8.50{\pm}3.51$, avoidance coping style $12.36{\pm}3.41$, quality of life $7.26{\pm}1.97$ and suicidal ideation $6.16{\pm}1.78$. Suicidal ideation was had a negative correlation with Depression(r=-.219, p<.001) and a positive correlation with avoidance coping style(r=.277, p<.001). The result of the regression indicated that depression, avoidance coping style and gender explained 12.1% of variance in suicidal ideation. The results suggest that depression, avoidance coping style and gender were associated with suicidal ideation. Therefore it is necessary to develop strategies to reduce the depression, avoidance coping style and improve quality of life for community dwelling elders to reduce suicidal ideation.

연구는 지역사회 재가노인의 우울, 회피적 대처방식, 삶의 질이 자살생각에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 시도되었다. 연구방법은 G시 50곳의 경로당을 이용하는 재가노인 509명을 대상으로 한 서술적 조사연구로, 2017년 11월 1일부터 2017년 11월 30일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 연구 통계방법은 IBM SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관관계분석, 단계적 다중회귀분석을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 연구대상자의 우울의 평균점수는 $8.50{\pm}3.51$, 회피적 대처방식의 평균점수는 $12.36{\pm}3.41$점, 삶의 질의 평균점수는 $7.26{\pm}1.97$점 그리고 자살생각에 대한 평균점수는 $6.16{\pm}1.78$점이었다. 연구대상자들의 자살생각은 우울(r=-.219, p<.001)은 통계적으로 유의한 역 상관관계, 회피적 대처방식(r=.277, p<.001)은 통계적으로 유의한 순 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 연구대상자의 자살생각에 영향을 미치는 요인을 단계적 다중회귀분석 한 결과, 회피적 대처방식, 우울, 성별이 영향을 미치는 요인으로 설명력은 12.1%로 나타났다. 이상의 본 연구 결과를 토대로 회피적 대처방식, 우울, 성별이 영향을 미치는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러므로 지역사회 재가노인의 우울과 회피적 대처방식을 감소시키고, 삶의 질을 증가시켜 자살생각을 감소시켜 노인의 자살을 예방할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
