Abstract

This study is tried to contribute to the development of nursing intervention for the health promotion of the elderly by comparing the health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) of the working and non-working elderly using the data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey (2020). The subjects of the study were the elderly aged 65 or older, 512 working elderly and 862 non-working elderly, with a total of 1,374 people. As a result of the study, it was found that the quality of life of the working elderly was higher than that of the non-working elderly in all five areas of health-related quality of life. In particular, the non-working elderly had a lower health-related quality of life at twice (95%CI=1.32-3.14) in the area of self-care compared to the working elderly. Anxiety/depression was found to be 1.6 times (95%CI=1.19-2.35), daily activity 1.6 times (95%CI=1.18-2.25), mobility 1.5 times (95%CI=1.19-1.92), and pain/discomfort 1.2 times (95%CI=1.02-1.64). Therefore, based on this, it is suggested that it is necessary to develop a program that can maintain and promote the independent standard of living and mental health of the elderly.

본 연구는 제8기 국민건강영양조사(2020) 자료를 이용하여 근로노인과 비 근로노인의 건강관련 삶의 질(EQ-5D)을 비교하여 노인의 건강증진을 위한 간호중재 개발의 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상자는 65세 이상 노인으로서 근로노인 512명, 비 근로노인 862명으로 총 1,374명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 건강관련 삶의 질의 5개 모든 영역에서 근로노인의 삶의 질이 비 근로노인에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 비 근로노인은 근로노인에 비해 자가관리가 2배(95%CI=1.32-3.14), 불안/우울은 1.6배(95%CI=1.19-2.35), 일상활동 1.6배(95%CI=1.18-2.25), 운동능력 1.5배(95%CI=1.19-1.92), 통증/불편 1.2배(95%CI=1.02-1.64)순으로 건강관련 삶의 질이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이를 바탕으로 노인의 독립적인 생활수준 및 정신건강을 유지 및 증진할 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요함을 제언한다.
