Abstract
|
|
|
This study examined the relationship between balanced time perspective, meaning in life, and self-neglect among older adults.
Data was collected from 358 older adults aged 65 and over, using senior welfare centers in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. The mediator analysis was used with the macro process 3.4 for SPSS. The major findings are as follows. First, the higher level of balanced time perspective showed the lower self-neglect. Second, the higher level of balanced time perspective predicted the higher meaning in life. Third, the higher level of meaning in life affected the lower level of self-neglect. Based on these findings, meaning in life has a mediating effect on the relationship between balanced time perspective and self-neglect. We suggest policy and intervention programs to reduce self-neglect in older adults by increasing balanced time perspective and meaning in life.
