This study aimed to determine the impact of community sense, depression and interpersonal needs on attitude towards ageing among older adults. This is a cross-sectional and correlational study. From December 2018 to June 2019, 211 community-dwelling older adults from a mid-sized city in Korea participated in the study. The results showed a significant interpersonal needs path from depression and community sense to attitude towards ageing. When interpersonal needs were mediated, the indirect effect of both depression and community sense on attitude towards ageing was significant. Interpersonal needs had a significant mediating effect on the relationships between attitude towards ageing and community sense and depression. The results of this study showed the effects of socio-psychological factors on attitude towards ageing, which is a known indicator of successful ageing and quality of life improvement in older adults. Based on this study, we suggest that the development of programs to promote successful ageing should include strategies to improve community sense, interpersonal needs fulfilment and interventions to reduce depression.
本研究旨在探讨社区意识、抑郁和人际需求对老年人对衰老态度的影响。这是一项横断面相关性研究。2018 年 12 月至 2019 年 6 月，韩国一个中等城市的 211 名社区居住老年人参与了这项研究。结果显示，人际需求与抑郁和社区意识对衰老态度有显著的路径关系。当人际需求被中介时，抑郁和社区意识对衰老态度的间接影响具有显著性。人际需求对衰老态度与社区意识和抑郁之间的关系具有显著的中介作用。本研究结果表明，社会心理因素对衰老态度有影响，衰老态度是老年人成功衰老和提高生活质量的已知指标。基于这项研究，我们建议，旨在促进成功衰老的方案的制定应包括改善社区意识、满足人际需求和减少抑郁的策略。
