The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of psychosocial support, death preparedness, and ego integrity on death anxiety in old people. The participant of this study were the elderly who attended welfare centers, worked in their workplaces, or lived at their home in Seoul regions, from whom this study had collected their data from February to May 2017. A total of 350 questionnaires were distributed and 329 copies of them were used for its final analysis using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 20.0 statistical programs. According to the results of this study, psychosocial support had no statistically significant effect on death anxiety, whereas death preparedness and ego integrity had statistically significant effects on death anxiety. Based upon these research results, this study suggested that it is necessary to develop death education and counseling programs as policy supports and practical methods for helping old people to accept their death positively, reintegrate their ego, and perform their successful aging.

As such, this study tries to understand how conflicting results in previous studies affect itself. In other words, it intends to figure out if psychological support, self-integration, and preparation for death of the elderly have significant effects on the anxiety of death.
So, it is required to accept and regard their own life for physically and psychologically healthy old age. It can be meaningful that this study examined how ego integrity affects death anxiety in that ego integrity positively accepts death approaching everybody to relieve death anxiety. Moreover, if old people can accept their past life through reflections on death to reilluminate their life and so prepare for death as the strategy for enhancing the quality of life, death anxiety can be reduced considerably.

제안 방법
Among social support scales which [29] had developed and then [30] had modified and standardized so as to be appropriate to the situation of old people in our country, this study used the questionnaire into which indirectly perceived social support scales had been modified and standardized. The scales are composed of a total of 14 items, which indicate that social support is high if scores are high.
Based upon the scale which [31] had developed, this study standardized death preparedness, which was composed of a total of 7 items. This scale indicates that death preparedness is high if scores are high.
Because the validity and reliability of the measurement model were ensured, this study confirmed the goodness-of-fits and path coefficients of the structural model, and then set up the structural model. Table 4 shows the results of testing the goodness-of-fit of the structural model.
For its data analysis, this study used SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 20.0 statistical programs to set up the statstatistical significance levels of all the analyses as 0.05 as well as evaluate and present significance at the level of 0.01 and 0.001 if necessary as the general characteristics of research subjects were controlled.
000), which did not meet the goodness-of-fit criteria of the model. However, since x2 was sensitive to the number of cases, this study evaluates the goodness-of-fit of the model in consideration of other goodness-of-fits. Such other goodness-of-fit indices included GFI as .
This study empirically analyzed the effect of psychosocial support, death preparedness, and ego integrity on death anxiety in old people. The results of this study are as follows.
This study used the instrument of ego integrity having been developed by [32], which are composed of a total of 16 items to indicate that ego integrity is high if the scores of this instrument are high. The reliability of this instrument had been 0.
This study used the scale into which [33] had modified 34 items developed by [34], and so composed a total of 20 items to indicate that death anxiety is high if the scores of this instrument are high. The reliability of this instrument had been 0.

성능/효과
First, the path coefficient of psychosocial support → death anxiety was 0.056(C.R.=0.978, p=.328), which was not significant under the significance level of 0.05 to reject the hypothesis that psychosocial support will influence death anxiety (Hypothesis 1).
Second, the path coefficient of death preparedness → death anxiety was 0.154(C.R.=3.091, p=.002), which was significant under the significance level of 0.05 to accept the hypothesis that death preparedness will affect death anxiety (Hypothesis 2).
Third, the path coefficient of ego integrity → death anxiety was -0.293(C.R.=-3.924, p<.001), which was significant under the significance level of 0.05 to accept the hypothesis that ego integrity will influence death anxiety (Hypothesis 3).

Later on, the need to expand to a wider area or age range, including farming and fishing villages, and research will be required on the elderly who exposed to various environments.
