Report Errors
The purpose of this study was to examine the attitude toward the own aging of poor elderly women living alone who belong to the most vulnerable elderly population group and the impact of chronic illness, self-esteem, and social support. 156 elderly women living alone aged 65+, who received benefits from the National Basic Livelihood Security Program or belonged to the near poor class, participated in this study. They were purposively sampled with the cooperation of several multi-social service centers for the aged and senior centers in Daejeon Metropolitan City. The data were collected through face to face interviews using a structured questionnaire and SPSS 22.0 software was used for the descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that (1) the poor elderly women’s mean score of their attitude toward their own aging was 1.29, indicating that they had a very negative perception of their own aging, far distant from the median score of 2.5; (2) both chronic illness and self-esteem were statistically significant factors, indicating that a lower level of chronic illness and higher level of self-esteem were factors predicting a positive attitude toward their own aging; (3) social support from friends and neighbors, outside of informal and formal social support, was a statistically significant factor predicting a positive attitude toward their own aging; (4) In the full model of all independent variables, the significance of social support from friends and neighbors disappeared, but chronic illness and self-esteem from among the independent variables and the number of children from among the control variables were statistically significantly associated with a positive attitude. Based on these findings, suggestions for social welfare policies and practices to change poor elderly women’s negative attitude toward their own aging were discussed.
