Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a health program for community-dwelling elderly women that improves their perceived health status, Interpersonal relations, self-esteem, depression, cognitive function, and successful aging.
Methods : A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used for this study. Elderly women who agreed to participate in this study were assigned to either an experimental group(n＝45) or a control group(n＝41). The health Management program was conducted once a week for 12 weeks. Study outcomes were measured by structured questionnaires from March, to June 2019. For data analysis, a chi-square test, an independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were performed using SPSS version 23.0.
Results : Interpersonal relations(z＝-2.39, p＝.017), depression(z＝-2.27, p＝.023), cognitive function(z＝-4.47, p＜.001), successful aging(t＝2.22, p＝.031) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of elderly women in the control group.
Conclusion : The health Management program was effective on Interpersonal relations, depression, cognitive function, and successful aging for elderly women in the community. It can be recommended as a public health program for the elderly population in the community.
