Abstract:
The objective of this study was to provide basic data to improve the quality of sleep and improve the health of the older adults by identifying the relationship between sleep behavior and quality of life of the older adults. The study was conducted from June 2018 to August 2018 with 106 elderly men and women living in D City, and the data processing was analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. The general characteristics, sleep behavior, and quality of life were analyzed as frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, while the general characteristics of sleep were used with t-test and ANOVA. The relationship between quality of sleep and quality of life was analyzed by Pearson's correction. According to the general characteristics of the older adults, differences in sleep and quality of life were confirmed. As a result of the study, sleep behavior was found to have a negative correlation with the psychological domain and a positive correlation with the biological environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and provide a continuous and specific sleep behavior management program to improve the sleep quality of the older adults.
