Abstract

This study aimed to provide basic data to assist in developing programs to improve the quality of life after identifying the factors affecting aging anxiety among middle-aged women. The subjects were 256 middle-aged women in Korea. Data were collected from March 8 to April 11, 2019, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0. This study found that the aging anxiety of the subjects differed significantly according to job and marriage satisfaction. Aging anxiety had a negative correlation with health perceived health (r=-.300, p<.001), resilience (r=-.537, p<.001), satisfaction of married life (r=-.316, p<.001), and self-esteem (r=-.424, p<.000). The factors affecting aging anxiety were as follows: resilience (β=-.47, p<.001), occupation (β=-.19, p=.003), and self-esteem (β=-.19, p=.014) with 36.9% explanatory power (F=14.34, p<.001). To reduce the aging anxiety of middle-aged people, programs will be needed to improve participation in post-middle-aged jobs or social activities and resilience, self-esteem, thereby providing education and mediation that can allow middle-aged women to accept aging positively.

본 연구의 목적은 중년여성의 노화불안에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 중년기 이후 여성들의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 시도되었다. 자료수집은 2019년 3월 8일부터 4월 11일까지 전국 8개 도시의 중년여성 256명을 대상으로 서면 동의를 받은 후 구조화된 설문지를 통해 이루어졌다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, 상관관계, 단계적 회귀분석 방법으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 노화불안은 직업과 결혼생활 만족도에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 노화불안은 지각된 건강상태(r=-.300, p<.001), 회복탄력성(r=-.537, p<.001), 결혼만족도(r=-.316, p<.001), 자존감(r=-.424, p<.001)과 음의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 중년여성의 노화불안에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 회복탄력성(β=-.47, p<.001)과 직업(β=-.19 p=.003), 자존감(β=-.19 p=.014)이었고, 전체 설명력은 36.9%였다(F=14.34, p<.001). 중년여성의 노화불안을 감소시키기 위해서는 중년기 이후에 직업이나 사회활동 참여를 돕고 회복탄력성 및 자존감을 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 필요하며, 이를 통해 노화를 긍정적으로 받아들일 수 있는 교육 및 중재가 제공되어야 할 것이다.
