Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of the quality of life in community dwelling vulnerable older women with chronic joint pain. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 234 participants registered at a visiting health care service in the public health center of C-city. The structured questionnaire were used to collect data on the general characteristics, pain rating index, pain intensity, perceived health status, functional independence, sleep pattern, depression, and quality of life from February 16 to March 13, 2017. The data were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The significant factors of the quality of life including general characteristics were depression (${\beta}=-.60$, p<.001), pain intensity scale (${\beta}=-.15$, p=.007), health insurance type (${\beta}=.15$, p=.001), perceived health status (${\beta}=.14$, p=.007), duration of pain (${\beta}=-.10$, p=.019), marital status (${\beta}=.10$, p=.024), and functional independence (${\beta}=.09$, p=.036). These factors accounted for 63.1% of the total variance in the quality of life. The findings suggest that a public healthcare program on managing depression is effective in improving the quality of life in community dwelling older women with chronic joint pain. Public health nurses should intervene in nursing care for economically vulnerable aged and pain management based on a precise assessment from the beginning of pain.

본 연구는 C시에 소재한 보건소의 방문건강관리 대상 노인 중 만성 관절통증이 있는 65세이상 취약계층 재가 여성노인 234명을 대상으로 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 본 연구의 자료는 일반적 특성, 통증양상, 통증정도, 지각된 건강상태, 일상생활능력, 수면양상, 우울, 삶의 질로 구성된 구조화된 설문지를 통해 2017년 2월 16일부터 3월 13일에 걸쳐 수집되었으며, t-test, ANOVA, 상관분석, 위계적 다중 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 일반적 특성을 포함하여 대상자의 삶의 질에 영향을 미친 변수는 우울(${\beta}=-.60$, p<.001), 통증정도(${\beta}=-.15$, p=.007), 의료보장 유형(${\beta}=.15$, p=.001), 지각된 건강상태(${\beta}=.14$, p=.007), 통증지속기간(${\beta}=-.10$, p=.019), 결혼상태(${\beta}=.10$, p=.024), 일상생활능력(${\beta}=.09$, p=.036)순으로 나타났으며, 모형의 총 설명력은 63.1%였다. 본 연구를 통해 만성 관절통증이 있는 재가 여성노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 지역사회 중심의 체계적인 우울 예방 및 관리 프로그램 운영이 우선 실시되어야 하며, 특히 경제적으로 취약한 공적부조 대상 노인의 삶의 질에 관심을 기울여야 하고, 통증 발현 초기부터 통증에 대한 정확한 사정을 토대로 통증완화중재 개입을 시행해야 한다.
