초록

Purpose: This study examined sociodemographic and health factors affecting Health-Related Quality of Life(HRQoL) among older adults with osteoarthritis based on the duration of osteoarthritis. Methods: Data wereobtained from the Seventh Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (Ⅶ-1, 2016; Ⅶ-2, 2017). Thesample consisted of total 747 older adults with osteoarthritis. The complex sample analysis was performed usingan independent t-test, ANOVA, x2 test, and multiple linear regression using the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Results:The HRQoL of older adults who had experienced osteoarthritis for 10 years or more was lower than the group whohad experienced osteoarthritis for less than 10 years. The most influential factors affecting HRQoL across bothgroups were subjective health, limit of daily activity, and sickbed experience. Current alcohol consumption and bodyweight control were factors affecting HRQoL in the group who had experienced osteoarthritis for less than 10 years,while gender, current smoking, and walking were factors affecting HRQoL in the group who had experiencedosteoarthritis for 10 years or more. Conclusion: Community nurses should consider the target population andcustomize interventions based on the duration of osteoarthritis in order to improve HRQoL in older adults withosteoarthritis.
