Abstract

This study a secondary data analysis study attempted to identify the factors influencing the successful aging of the elderly in Korea. Using the data of the 7th Aging Research Panel in 2018, 4,106 people over 65 years of age who had at least one non-living child and no missing values in the study variables were enrolled. Data were analyzed by frequency analysis, crossover analysis, independent sample t-test, and binary logistic regression analysis. The results of this study revealed that the factors affecting successful aging among elderly included age, the presence or absence of a spouse, education level, housing type, subjective health, exercise, alcohol drinking, and non-face-to-face contact frequency with non-cohabiting children, and the explanatory power of the variables was 24.1%. In order for the elderly to achieve successful aging, centering on child ties, the frequency of non-face-to-face contact, which can comfort the elderly's life and increase the satisfaction of life in a continuous relationship, is more important than having children live close and meet frequently. Based on this study, various strategies are needed for the successful aging of elderly people who are socially isolated due to concerns about COVID-19 infection.

본 연구는 우리나라 노인의 성공적 노화에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 시도된 이차자료분석 연구이다. 2018년 제7차 고령화연구패널 조사 자료를 이용하여 65세 이상의 노인 중 비동거 자녀가 1인 이상이고 연구 변수에 결측치가 없는 4,106명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 빈도분석, 교차분석, 독립표본 t검정, 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 노인의 성공적인 노화에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, 배우자 유무, 교육 수준, 주거 형태, 주관적 건강, 운동, 음주, 비동거 자녀와의 비대면 접촉 빈도로 나타났으며 설명력은 24.1%였다. 자녀 결속을 중심으로 노인이 성공적 노화를 영위하기 위해서는 자녀가 가까이 살고 자주 만나는 것보다 노인의 삶의 위로가 되고 관계의 연속으로 삶의 만족도를 높일 수 있는 비대면 연락 빈도가 중요하게 나타났다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 코로나19(COVID-19) 감염 우려로 인해 사회적으로 고립되어 있는 노인들의 성공적인 노화를 위한 다양한 전략이 필요하다.
