골관절염 여성노인의 불확실성: 통증, 자가간호역량, 건강보존과의 관련성 = Uncertainty in Elderly Women with Osteoarthritis: Relationship to Pain, Self-care Agency and Health Conservation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of uncertainty to pain, self-care agency and health conservation and to identify factors affecting uncertainty in elderly women with osteoarthritis. Methods:Participants, 156 women aged 65 years or older, were outpatients at A orthopedic clinic in D city and were diagnosedwith osteoarthritis. Data were collected using the Visual Analogue Scale (pain), Self-As-Carer Inventory(Geden & Taylor, 1988), Health Conservation Scale (Sung, 2005a) and Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (Mishel,1988) and analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: Uncertainty was positively correlated with the degree of pain and negatively correlated with self-care agency and health conservation in elderly women with osteoarthritis. Health conservation was the strongest predictor(β=-.28) of uncertainty in elderly women with osteoarthritis, followed by assistance from spouse (β=-.25)and monthly allowance (β=-.24). These variables accounted for 29% of the total variance in uncertainty.
Conclusion: Findings from the study suggest the need to develop and utilize nursing interventions targeting improvementsin health conservation to reduce uncertainty in elderly women with osteoarthritis.
