초고령화 사회에서 증가한 독거노인의 인구는 많은 문제들을 야기하고 있다. 홀로 살아가고 있는 노인들은 상실감과 자살 생각이 높아질 수 있음에 따라 본 연구는 주거형태와 스마트폰이 이들의 상실감과 자살 생각에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 2G폰을 사용하는 노인들은 스마트폰을 사용하는 이들보다 낮은 사회적 역할과 관계를 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 가족 구성원 또는 배우자와 함께 살고 있는 노인들은 독거노인들보다 낮은 자살 생각을 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그렇지만 사회적 역할과 관계의 상실감은 거주 형태보다 스마트폰의 사용 실태 여부에 더 유의한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 게다가, 스마트폰을 사용하는 노인들은 사회적 역할과 관계에 대해 낮은 수준의 상실감을 보여주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 노인들 사이에서 신체적 건강, 사회적 역할, 관계의 상실감은 자살 생각을 높이는 주요한 요인으로 밝혀졌다는 점에서 놀랍게도 경제적 능력만이 자살 생각의 지표가 아니었음을 확인하였다.

Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

In the super-aged societies, an increased elderly population living in solitude has been causing many problems. Since the elderly may incur a sense of loss and interest in suicide when living alone, this study investigated the effects of smartphones as well as types of living arrangements on elderly peoples' sense of loss and suicidal thoughts. This study found social roles and relationships were lower for older individuals using smartphones than those using 2G phones. Not surprisingly, those living with family members or a partner had significantly fewer suicidal thoughts than those living in solitude. However, our results indicate subjects' loss of role and relationships was affected more significantly by their smartphone usage (2G phone vs. smartphone) rather than their living arrangements (i.e., living with family or a partner vs. living in solitude). Moreover, smartphone users showed a lower sense of loss in terms of social roles and relationships. Among the elderly, loss of health, social role, and relationships were identified as precedents for increased suicidal thoughts; yet, economic capacity was surprisingly not an indicator of suicidal thoughts.

05). Univariate tests for (a) loss of social role and (b) loss of relationship were statistically significant. However, the other tests were not statistically significant: (a) loss of health, (b) loss of economic capacity, and (c) suicidal thoughts, as shown in [Table 1].

, “What is your current living arrangement?”), which was another independent variable, separated respondents into two groups: those who live alone and those who live with others, such as family or friends. As a result, the survey participants were categorized based on their answers to questions dealing with smartphone usage(2G or smart phone) and living arrangements(living with family or a partner or living alone).
, for 30 days). Prior to data collection, all research participants were informed about research purposes, and all respondents voluntarily answered the paper-based survey using the self-administration method.
Based on the following, inclusion criteria of the current study were set at (a) individiauls over the age of 65, (b) with cellphones, and (c) with clear information about their living arrangements. The data collection was conducted with the intercept data collection technique at preassigned locations, where target samples are likely to congregate. Specifically, the data were collected at two local community centers and three department stores with large floating populations in Seoul, South Korea for one month starting from February 5 to March 6 in 2018 (i.
This study analyzed the factors of smartphone usage and living arrangements to obtain meaningful results on how this correlates with feelings of loss or suicidal thoughts. However, since the use of various electronic devices, including smartphones, did not take into account social communication with acquaintances, there is a need for further in-depth research on this topic.
To address the research purposes, this study applied a cross-sectional survey design that explored recent social phenomenon during a relatively short time[27] and purposive sampling method to target a specific population[28]. Based on the following, inclusion criteria of the current study were set at (a) individiauls over the age of 65, (b) with cellphones, and (c) with clear information about their living arrangements.

대상 데이터

A total of 350 questionnaires were distributed for the survey, and 273 copies were retrieved. The analysis was finally conducted for the 244 copies that had complete answers, since 29 questionnaires with missing answers were excluded.

Based on the study objective, all participants were aged 65 years or older.
To investigate the sense of loss and suicidal thoughts experienced by older people, respondents of the survey were limited to those aged 65 or older. According to the World Health Organization(WHO)[29], the chronological age of 65 years is considered as a definition of the elderly in many countries.

A reliability test was conducted using Cronbach’s alpha to test the internal consistency of the questions.
, the use of smartphones and living arrangements) and the interaction between the two grouping variables on the sense of loss and suicidal thoughts experienced by the elderly. The causality of variables was tested using multiple regression analysis.

성능/효과

Regardless of smartphone usage, a significant difference was observed in terms of the suicidal thoughts experienced by the group living with family or a partner and the group that was living alone. The analysis showed that elderly people who live alone had more suicidal thoughts than those living with family or a partner. Noteworthy to this finding is that elderly individuals living alone are more prone to social isolation and solitude than the latter[41].
The results indicated no statistically significant differences for interaction between the two grouping variables: smartphone usage and types of living arrangements(Wilks’ Λ = .977, F(5, 236) = 1.103, p > .05).

후속연구

This study analyzed the factors of smartphone usage and living arrangements to obtain meaningful results on how this correlates with feelings of loss or suicidal thoughts. However, since the use of various electronic devices, including smartphones, did not take into account social communication with acquaintances, there is a need for further in-depth research on this topic. Future studies should also be conducted considering the various types of living arrangements.
