Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study examined the fitness of a path model on the relationship among perceived health status, selfesteem, self?efficacy, and Yangsaeng for elderly women.
Methods: The subjects consisted of 633 aged women. Data were collected through self?report questionnaires. The data were analyzed with the SPSS and AMOS programs.
Results: Perceived health status, self?esteem, and self?efficacy showed a direct effect on elderly women’s Yangsaeng while perceived health status and self?esteem showed an indirect effect on their Yangsaeng. Perceived health status and self?esteem showed a direct effect on elderly women’s self?efficacy. The hypothetical path model of elderly women’s Yangsaeng was proven correct.
Conclusion: These results suggest that elderly women’s Yangsaeng can be enhanced by increasing their
perceived health status, self?esteem and self?efficacy. Based on the outcomes of this study, it is necessary to design an intervention program that emphasizes the enhancement of perceived health status, self?esteem and self?efficacy in order to improve elderly women’s Yangsaeng.
