Abstract
This study aims to find factors affecting life satisfaction among the aged from ecosystemic perspective, analyzing how personal, micro, meso, and macro systems affected past, current and future life satisfaction and the overall life satisfaction. The authors conducted a survey of 216 old people staying at home or using community senior social welfare centers or senior centers in Seoul and Kyonggi Province. The results showed that the overall life satisfaction was 2.99, a little lower than the middle score of three out of five point Likert scale. The current life satisfaction was the highest, and the future life satisfaction was the lowest. The signifcant factors affecting overall life satisfaction were self-esteem among the personal system variables, children’s support among the micro system variables, leisure activity, volunteer activity and being a buddist among the meso system variables. The factors affecting the past, current and future life satisfaction were different. The factors affecting the past life satisfaction were self-esteem, children’s support and being a catholic. The factors affecting current life satisfaction was subjective health, ownership of the house, self-esteem, children’s support, leisure activity and being a buddhist. The factors affecting future life satisfaction were self-esteem, volunteer activity and being a buddhist. The implications of these findings were that elderly Koreans need, in addition to support from their children, policy support to enhance self-esteem, strengthen health, promote stability for housing conditions, and encourage leisure volunteer activities.
