Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among the variables and effects of depression and physical activity on fatigue in the elderly with chronic disease. A descriptive research design was employed in this study. In total, 500 elderly patients diagnosed with chronic disease were selected from 3 medical centers for the study. The measurements were used to examine their general characteristics, fatigue, depression, and physical activity. To analyze the data, statistical analyses, including ANOVA, t-test, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis, were conducted for the analysis of the data. The results indicated that the age, gender, and educational level in the first step model explained 6% of the effect on fatigue among the elderly with chronic disease. In addition, depression and physical activity in the second step model explained 16% of the effect on fatigue. These findings demonstrate the significance of (considering) depression and physical activity related to care plans when developing health-programs for decreasing fatigue and planning intervention strategies.

본 연구는 만성질환자 노인의 피로, 우울 및 신체활동의 정도와 그 관계를 밝히고, 우울 및 신체활동이 피로에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 연구 대상자는 경북지역의 3곳의 의료기관 외래를 방문한 500명의 만성질환 노인이었으며, 자료는 일반적 특성, 피로, 우울과 신체활동에 관한 설문지를 통해 수집되었다. 수집된 자료는 ANOVA, t-test, sheffe test, pearson's correlation coefficient와 hierarchial regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 만성질환자의 피로는 우울과는 음의 상관관계를, 신체활동 정도와는 양의 상관관계를 보였고, 일반적 특성과의 차이비교에서는 연령과 성별, 학력에서 차이가 있었다. 또한 피로와 차이를 보인 연령, 성별 및 학력을 통제하기 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 1단계 모형에서 연령, 성별 및 학력은 피로에 6%의 영향력을 가지고 있었고, 2단계 모형에서는 우울과 신체활동은 만성질환 노인의 피로에 16%의 영향력을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 만성질환자 노인의 피로는 우울 및 신체활동에 영향을 받으므로 우울의 중재와 신체활동 향상를 위한 노력은 피로를 감소시키는 데에 도움이 될 수 있다. 따라서 만성질환을 가진 노인에 대한 피로 중재에는 우울을 감소시키기 위한 방안과 신체활동을 증가시킬 수 있는 전략이 함께 포함되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구 결과는 만성질환 노인의 피로 정도를 감소시키기 위한 전략을 개발하는 데에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.
