The purpose of this study was to construct a Korean version of the Geriatric Social Readjustment Questionnaire (K-GSRQ), to investigate its applicability to the elderly and to compare cross-cultural differences in the perception of the life events between Koreans and Americans. The K-GSRQ consists of 33 items. Most of the life events considered as crucial in old age were similar in ranking in comparison between Koreans and Americans. Some differences in ranking can be attributed to the differences in Socio-cultural backgrounds. The K-GSRQ was applied to controls, neurotic cases and cases with physical illnesses. The result suggest that the Korean version of the Geriatric Social Readjustment Questionnaire is applicable for the study of the health status of the elderly in Korea.
本研究的目的是构建老年社会再适应问卷韩文版（K-GSRQ），调查其对老年人的适用性，并比较韩国人和美国人在生活事件认知方面的跨文化差异。K-GSRQ由33个项目组成。在韩国人和美国人的比较中，大多数被认为对老年人至关重要的生活事件在排名上相似。排名上的一些差异可归因于社会文化背景的不同。K-GSRQ应用于对照组、神经症患者和身体疾病患者。结果表明，老年社会再适应问卷韩文版适用于韩国老年人健康状况的研究。
