Abstract

Background: This study examined factors associated with later-life preparation among aging individuals with disabilities living in South Korea.

Methods: We used secondary data from 2,942 individuals aged 50 and older from the Disability Life Panel Survey and performed binary logistic regression.

Results: Most participants did not prepare for later life and were men, had a high school education or less, and were unemployed. Logistic regression identified factors associated with later-life preparation: education level and employment status (sociodemographic characteristics), types of disability and recent health condition (health condition), self-esteem and disability acceptance (psychological factors), and residential environment assessment and satisfaction with family relationships (environmental factors).

Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to preparing aging individuals with disabilities for later life.

老年残疾人晚年生活准备相关因素的研究。

背景：本研究调查了生活在韩国的老年残疾人中与晚年生活准备相关的因素。方法：我们使用来自2942名50岁及以上残疾生活小组调查的二手数据，并进行二元逻辑回归。结果：大多数参与者没有为以后的生活做准备，他们是男性，只有高中或更低的学历，并且没有工作。Logistic回归确定了与晚年准备相关的因素：教育水平和就业状况（社会人口特征）；残疾类型和最近的健康状况（健康状况）；自尊与残疾接受（心理因素）；而居住环境评价与家庭关系满意度（环境因素）。结论：这些发现强调需要一个全面的方法来准备老年残疾人的晚年生活。
