한국 노인의 성공적 노화와 영성의 관련성 탐색 = Exploring the Links between Spirituality and Successful Aging of Older Adults

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between successful aging and the spirituality of older adults in Korea. Three hundreds and fifteen older adults, aged from 61 to 91 in the Seoul metropolitan area, participated in this study. The structured interview method was used to assess the successful aging, spirituality, physical and cognitive functioning of older adults. Group mean comparisons showed that in general, the average level of successful aging was different according to gender. Additionally, the average level of religious and existential spirituality was different by age and economic status. Pearson’s correlation analyses indicated that the level of successful aging was positively associated with the level of religious and existential spirituality. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that existential spirituality was an influential and unique factor in explaining the level of successful aging controlling for demographic characteristics, physical and cognitive functioning of the older adults. These findings suggest that existential spirituality should be considered and supported as a source of well-being in later life.
