Abstract

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate self-perceived health statuses and depression levels in 81 elderly subjects through several questionnaires. Methods Subjects were classified into 4 groups: Group A (participating in exercise program 5 days or more a week, male=12, female=7); Group B (participating in exercise program 2~3 days a week, male=14, female=17); Group C (participating in exercise program once a week, male=3, female=10); and Group D (not participating in exercise program, male=7, female=11). All measured data were represented by mean and standard deviation using SPSS package (ver12.0). After frequency analyses and chi-square calculation in general characteristics were performed, one way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences among groups in self-perceived health statuses and depressive levels of the four groups. Then we performed the Scheffe post-hoc method for the confirmation of the differences among the groups. The 5% level of significance was the critical level for acceptance of the study's hypotheses. Results Results were as follows. Groups A and B, Group C, and Group D were rated as 'good', 'fair' and 'bad,' respectively, in self-perceived health status. Groups A, B and C were considered 'not depressed' in the total depression points while Group D was considered 'moderately-depressed'. The group participating in an exercise program 2-3 days/wk scored higher than the other groups in psychological health and depressive levels. Conclusions Although exercise is advantageous for the elderly, participating 2-3 days per week seems to bring the greatest benefit for psychological health.

연구배경 동일 거주 장소에 살고 있는 실버타운 노인 81명을 대상으로 운동참여 빈도에 따른 주관적 건강인식과 우울증에 어떠한 차이가 있는 가를 밝혀 노인의 심리적 건강증진을 위한 최적의 운동 빈도를 조사하였다. 방 법 피험자들은 운동 빈도에 따라 주5일 이상 참여한 경우 A집단, 주2-3일 참여한 경우 B집단, 주1일 이하로 참여한 경우 C집단으로 배정하고, 운동에 불참하는 집단은 D집단으로 하였다. 결 과 주관적 건강인식은 A집단과 B집단에서 '좋은 편'으로 나타난 반면, C집단은 '보통', D집단은 '나쁜 편'이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 우울증은 A, B, C집단이 없는 것으로 나타난 반면, D집단의 경우는 '중등도 우울증'이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 심화정도에 대한 사후검정 결과에서 B집단이 가장 정상적이며, D집단의 경우가 중등도 우울증이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 운동은 노인들에게 여러 가지 장점을 제공하지만 운동 빈도 면에서 볼 때 주당 2-3일을 운동에 참여하는 것이 심리적인 건강에 보다 많은 장점을 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.
