Abstract

The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model of subjective quality of life in middle-aged men. The participants were 493 middle-aged men. Data were collected from September 10 to October 31, 2011. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 and AMOS 19.0. Self-esteem, social support, family communication showed direct and indirect effect on subjective quality of life for middle-aged married men, and job satisfaction showed a direct effect on subjective quality of life. The structural regression model of middle-aged men's subjective quality of life was a good fit with the model. These results indicate that it is necessary to design intervention programs to increase self-esteem, social support, family communication and job satisfaction in order to increase middle-aged men's subjective quality of life.

본 연구는 중년남성의 주관적 삶의 질을 통합적으로 설명하고 예측할 수 있는 모형을 구축함으로써 이에 영향을 주는 심리사회적 요인들을 밝혀내며, 변수들과의 관계를 규명하여 중년남성의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 간호중재 개발을 위한 기초자료 및 기본적인 틀을 제공하고자 시도된 구조회귀모형분석 연구이다. 연구 대상자는 40세-59세 사이의 자녀와 직업이 있는 기혼의 중년남성 493명이며, 자료수집기간은 2011년 9월 10일부터 2011년 10월 31일까지였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 19.0과 Amos 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 자아존중감, 사회적 지지가 중년남성의 삶의 질에 직 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이들의 매개변인으로 가족의사소통, 직업만족도가 삶의 질에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 가족의사소통은 직업만족도를 매개하여 삶의 질에 간접적인 영향도 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 중년남성의 삶의 질 구조모형은 적합한 모형임이 실증적으로 검정되었으며, 중년남성의 주관적 삶의 질 증진을 위한 프로그램 구성의 방향을 제시했다는 점에서 연구의 중요성과 의의를 둘 수 있다.
