This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study of the effects of emotional happiness on aging preparation for 45-60 year olds. Participants of this study were 312 volunteers and data was collected online, the collection period was from May 15, 2018 to May 31, 2018. The tools used in the research were the emotional happiness developed by Watson et al (1988) et al., the aging preparation developed by JH Lee (2009). Analysis was done using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression by SPSS 18.0. As a result of the analysis, 84.0% of participants felt physically healthy and 89.8% felt mental health. The spouses of participants were physically 83.4% healthy and mentally 82.7% healthy. The correlation between emotional happiness, health cognition and aging preparation showed that physical health had a correlation with mental health (r = .482, p <0.01) and emotional happiness (r = .369, p <0.01), economic aging preparation (r = .411, p <0.01), social aging preparation (r = .119, p <0.01). Mental health was correlated with emotional happiness (r = .491, p <0.01), economic aging preparation (r = .411, p <0.01) and social aging preparation. Difference between emotional happiness and retirement preparation according to presence or absence of disease, emotional happiness (t = -4.503, p <0.01) and economic aging preparation (t = -4.960, p <0.01) were statistically significant. Emotional happiness affects the preparation of old age, emotional happiness affects to physical aging preparation under statistical significance (F=25.191, p<0.01), economic aging preparation (F=1131.783, p<0.01), and social aging preparation (F=147.672, p<0.01) which were sub components of aging preparation. Emotional happiness showed a 7.5% effect on the preparation of physical aging, 78.4% on economic aging preparation and 32.3% on social aging preparation. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that physical health and mental health are related to emotional happiness, economic aging preparation, and social aging preparation. And also these results can be inferred that the illness causes emotional less feeling of happiness and economic difficulty. Based on the results of this study, emotional well - being influences the retirement preparation significantly at statistical significance. Therefore, if the concept of emotional happiness is introduced to the old-age preparation program, it will be more client centered program.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of care stress for older patients, self-perceptions of aging, and anxiety about aging on preparation for retirement in clinical nurses. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study in which participants were 222 nurses who had at least six months of work experience and were involved in caring for older patients in the last six months at the work site. Data were collected from August to September, 2020 using an online survey questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: The mean level of preparation for retirement in the participants was moderate (3.21 out of 5 points). Among the sub-domains of preparation for retirement, financial preparation had the lowest score. Self-perceptions of aging and aging anxiety were significant predictors for retirement preparation in nurses, accounting for 16% of the variable's total variance. Conclusion: A greater level of preparation for retirement was associated with a positive perception of aging and a decreased level of aging anxiety in the clinical nurses. Further research should focus on exploration of specific determinants of financial preparation for retirement and development of intervention strategies for improving preparation for retirement in the nursing workforce.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the aging anxiety, factors of successful aging, and preparation for aging in early and late middle-aged people. Methods: The study subjects were 140 middle-aged people aged from 40 to 59. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from August 16 to September 30, 2013. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test and Pearson correlation coefficient using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Between early and late middle age, there were statistically significant differences in the subcategories of aging anxiety: fear of loss (t=2.93, p=.004), fear of old people (t=-2.33, p=.021), physical appearance (t=2.32, p=.022), and psychological concerns (t=2.04, p=.043). A statistically significant difference was found between two groups in one subscale of preparation for aging: physical preparation (t=-2.02, p=.045). In early midlife, significant associations were observed between preparation for aging and both aging anxiety (r=.56, p<.001) and factors of successful aging (r=.54, p<.001). In late midlife, preparation for aging and factors of successful aging showed positive correlation (r=.50, p<.001) Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that programs for successful transition to old age in middle-aged people should consider their aging anxiety level and preparation for aging at their stage of life.

본 연구는 노후에 대한 인식이 국가 민간의료기관 근로자간에 따라 차이가 있는지, 또한 노후인식이 노후준비에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 부산의 보건소와 병 의원의 근로자 783명을 대상으로 진행하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석, t-test, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 국가 민간의료기관의 근로자간에 노후에 대한 인식, 정부정책에 대한 만족도, 노후준비에 대해서 부분적으로 차이가 있었으며, 국가 근로자가 민간 근로자 보다 더 잘 인지하고, 만족하며, 비교적 준비하고 있었다. 또한 노후에 대한 인식과 정부정책 만족도는 모두 보통 수준 이상으로 나타났지만, 노후 준비는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노후 준비에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아본 결과 국가의료기관과 민간의료기관 근로자에서 각각 다르게 나타났다. 또한 노후 준비에 미치는 영향은 부분적으로 차이를 보였다. 결론적으로 국가 민간의료기관 근로자간 노후준비에 미치는 영향에는 차이가 있었다. 본 연구는 노후준비에 대한 교육 및 정책수립을 위한 기초자료로 제공하려한다.

본 연구는 노인의 삶의 질 향상에 대한 관심으로부터 출발하여 인구의 노령화에 따라 늘어난 노년기에 대한 준비로 삶의 만족도 수준을 높이는 것을 궁극적인 목표로 삼았다. 이를 위해 노후준비의 하위 유형을 신체적 노후준비, 경제적 노후준비, 정서 사회적 노후준비로 구성하여 이를 다중 독립변인으로 설정하였다. 또한 사회적 지지를 매개변인, 삶의 만족도를 종속변인으로 하여 각 변인 간 구조적 관계를 밝히고, 노후준비의 하위유형과 삶의 만족도 간 사회적 지지가 매개효과를 갖는지 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 국민노후보장패널(Korean Retirement and Income Study: KReIS) 3차 및 5차 부가조사 자료로부터 추출한 65세 이상의 노인 4,058명이다. 자료 분석을 위해서는 SPSS 25.0과 SPSS PROCESS macro v2.16을 활용하였다. 연구결과 노후준비의 하위 유형 중 정서 사회적 노후준비는 삶의 만족도에 유의미한 직접효과를 발생시켰을 뿐만 아니라, 사회적 지지의 매개를 통해서도 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 노인의 삶의 만족도를 달성하는 데 중요한 변수인 정서 사회적 노후준비와 사회적 지지 제고를 위한 사회복지 정책 및 실천적 방안을 제언하였다.

본 연구는 늘어난 노년기를 대비하여 다양한 영역의 통합적인 노후 준비가 필요하다는 인식을 바탕으로 중장년층의 노후 준비 실태와 특성을 파악하고 성공적 노화와의 관계를 밝히는 데 그 목적이 있다. 또한, 중장년층을 대상으로 노후 준비와 성공적 노화 간의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 알아보고자 함이다. 이를 확인하기 위해 국민연금연구원에서 시행하고 있는 국민 노후 보장패널(Korean Retirement & Income Study: KReIS)의 제3차 조사, 제4차 조사 그리고 제5차 부가 조사에 모두 응답한 50세 이상 64세 미만의 남녀 1,037명을 분석하였다. 중고령자의 노후 준비가 성공적 노화에 영향을 미칠 때, 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 검증하기 위하여 IBM SPSS 26 Process Macro Model 4와 부트스트래핑(Bootstrapping)을 실시하였다. 독립변수가 매개변수에 미치는 유의성 검증 결과, 노후 준비는 정(+)적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 즉, 노후 준비가 높을수록 사회적 지지가 높아지는 것으로 검증되었다. 또한, 독립변수인 노후 준비와 매개변수인 사회적 지지가 종속변수인 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향의 유의성을 검증한 결과, 독립변수인 노후 준비는 성공적 노화에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 매개변수인 사회적 지지도 성공적 노화에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 중장년층의 노후 준비를 통해 성공적 노화를 위한 사회적 지지의 필요성을 시사한다. 노후 준비를 위한 정책적인 시사점을 도출하여 성공적 노화 수준을 높이기 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the baby boomers' perception of and preparation for their successful aging. Seven women and three men were interviewed with the use of an unstructured questionnaire. Their perceptions of their likelihood of future successful aging were not negative, and were influenced by a range of considerations that included health, leisure, finance, volunteer services, family relationships, and elderly life without children's supports. They tried to prepare several kinds of sports, leisure activities, and volunteer services for their elderly life. However, their reasons for preparing these activities varied, and the background of their differences consisted of the family background, personal values, and experiences. Moreover, men and women responded differently to their personal experiences as they related to their elderly life. Women were likely to match their family relationship with their perception and preparation for successful aging, and men were not.
