초록
본 연구의 목적은 중년여성의 긍정적 사고, 지각된 건강상태, 노화불안과 삶의 의미 정도를 파악하고 변수 간의 관계를 규명하며 삶의 의미에 미치는 예측요인을 분석하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2022년 9월 10일부터 2023년 2월 28일까지 이루어졌으며 J도와 G광역시 중년여성 130명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 26.0 version을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균 및 표준편차, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, scheffe’ test, Person’s correlation, 단계적 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 긍정적 사고와 지각된 건강상태(r=.43, p<.001), 긍정적 사고와 삶의 의미(r=.54, p<.001), 지각된 상태와 삶의 의미(r=.31, p<.001)는 통계적으로 유의하게 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 긍정적 사고와 노화불안(r=-.20, p=.021), 지각된 상태와 노화불안(r=-.46, p<.001)은 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 노화불안과 삶의 의미(r=-.10, p=.281)는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 중년여성의 긍정적 사고(β=.52, p<.001)와 월경상태(β=-.22, p=.003)는 삶의 의미(F=32.49, p<.001)를 32.8% 설명하였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 중년여성의 삶의 의미를 높이기 위해 중년여성의 긍정적 사고를 고취하기 위한 다양한 중재 프로그램 개발이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is a descriptive research study to identify middle-aged women's positive thinking, perceived health status, aging anxiety, and meaning of life, identify relationships between variables, and analyze predictive factors affecting the meaning of life. This study was approved by IRB (1040117-202208-HR-024-01), from September 10, 2022 to February 28, 2023, data were collected from 130 middle-aged women. The data was analyzed using SPSS WIN 26.0 version. Positive thinking and perceived health status(r=.43, p<.001), positive thinking and meaning of life(r=.54, p<.001), perceived health state and meaning of life(r=.31, p<.001) showed a statistically significant positive correlation. Positive thinking and aging anxiety(r=-.20, p=.021) and perceived health state and aging anxiety(r=-.46, p<.001) showed a statistically significant negative correlation. Aging anxiety and meaning of life(r=-.10, p=.281) were not statistically significant. Factors influencing the meaning of life among middle-aged women were found to be positive thinking (β=.52, p<.001), menopausal status (β= -.22, p=.003), with meaning of life (F=32.49, p<.001) explaining 32.8%. As the positive thinking of middle-aged women has been identified as a predictor of the meaning of life, it is considered necessary to develop an intervention program to promote positive thinking of middle-aged women.
