기초생활보장 수급 노인의 삶의 질 = Quality of Life in Low Income Korean Aged

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of life and its predictors in low income Korean aged. Methods:
This was a predictive correlational study. An accessible sample from the population of people who were 65 and over
and were supported by the basic livelihood security system was 1,040. Quota sampling with strata of state division in the
nation was chosen. Quality of life and its predictors in the subjects were measured. Results: The mean quality of life in
the subjects was 47.0±10.7. Predictors of this study significantly explained 54.3% of the total variance of quality of life.
Depression was the most significant predictor of quality of life. Health problems, district, social support, leisure activity, and
health behavior had effects on quality of life. Conclusion: This finding indicates that quality of life in lower income Korean
aged is different from other populations by economic status. Demographics, health status and social status were predictors
of quality of life in the aged with a small income.
