For the aged, quality of life is more important than simple elongation of life. The biggest problem of the aged is the degrading quality of life and anxiety over death. Since the issue of each old person emerges as social issue in modern society that enters the aging society, diverse researches and attempts are required to tackle this issue in the level of social welfare. Thus, this research performed corroborative analysis to investigate how ego integration and social support among diverse factors perceived by the aged affect their satisfaction in life and anxiety over death and which factor out of ego integration and social support more affects satisfaction in life and anxiety over death.
This research performed questionnaire survey by vis-a-vis interview to 200 old persons over 65 years old who live in Daegu and attend the local welfare hall for the aged, the rest place for the aged, general social welfare hall and group of the aged of the religious organization.
To grasp the general property of sample, frequency analysis is performed and basic data is calculated by using technical statistics quantity of average and standard deviation. Further, it is verified in the reliability level of 95% by using SPSS 12.0 for Windows statistical package program. Then, the following conclusion can be drawn from the outcome of research.
First, it is found that if the aged are more satisfied with the sense of ego integration, they are more satisfied with life in the past, present and future. With respect to the social support and satisfaction in life of the aged, if the level of emotional, informative, material and evaluation support perceived by the aged is higher, they are more satisfied with life in the past, present and future. With respect to the influence that social support of the aged has on satisfaction in life, if the level of emotional, informative, material and evaluation support perceived by the aged is higher, they are more satisfied with life in the past, present and future.
Second, analyzing the relation between ego integration and social support of the aged and anxiety over death, it is found that the higher ego integration of the aged lowers anxiety over death. On the contrary, investigating correlation between social support and anxiety over death of the aged, no significant correlation is observed between social support and anxiety over death of the aged.
Third, analyzing how satisfaction in life is affected by the ego integration and social support of the aged, it is found that if the ego integration of the aged and the level of emotional, informative, material and evaluation support perceived by the aged is higher, they are more satisfied with life in the past, present and future. Thus, it is found that ego integration and social support have the same quantity of static influence on their satisfaction in life.
Fourth, it is found that with respect to the influence that ego integration and social support of the aged have on the anxiety over death, the higher ego integration of the aged lowers anxiety over death of the aged. Thus, it is found that though ego integration negatively affects anxiety over death of the aged, social support has no influence.
Notwithstanding such outcome, this research is subject to the following limit.
First, as the aged using welfare facilities for the aged in Daegu are arbitrarily utilized for sample instead of nationwide probability collection, the outcome of this research may be subject to limit in generalizing towards all old people.
Second, since this research is performed on relatively healthy old persons, the outcome may be different from that of terminal patients or the aged who are to decease soon.
