RESULTS
The participants of this study include 600 long-term care workers working at Nursing homes and Nursing facilities located in Seoul. The data collected from the participants are analyzed with Multi Regression Analysis. Results: As a result of T-test and analysis of variance, statistically significant parameters to the subjective awareness of health are as follows: marriage, education, religion and work places. And as the minor parameters that influence the rate of life satisfaction the positive relationships between the emotional health (beta=0.178, p<0.01) and the intellectual health (beta=0.281, p<0.001) is statistically significant.
CONCLUSION
The results of analysis indicate as follows: there is a positively significant relationship between social demographic characteristics, health awareness and life satisfaction; the higher participation in social activities, more women than men, and the higher income, the higher health awareness. The findings point out the importance of emotional and intellectual health and efforts to promote better health and demand for a societal change in health awareness. This study provides the baseline data for a practical intervention measure and political suggestion by examining how the individual characteristics and health awareness influence life satisfaction of long-term care workers, and by analyzing the effect of the interactions between them. |
