Abstract

This study studied the life experiences of story grandmother activities on the meaning of a happy life and positive growth for the elderly through phenomenology. This study period was conducted with pre-interviews from March 2021, and research was conducted until July 2022. As for the research method, 9 elderly women were selected as a Colaizzi phenomenological research method suitable for the work of exploring and understanding life as it is, and the following conclusions were drawn. First, the happiness experience of the elderly provides a life that responds to positive changes, gives positive meaning, and actively discovers in a desire-ful life, a comparative life, and a adaptation and coping happy life. Second, the elderly experienced the meaning of life by experiencing the happiness of moments in the self-realized life of the upward · downward theory. Third, the growth of the elderly is a happy change in PERMAS of positive psychology, pursuing life with positive emotions, immersion, and positively related meaning and purpose of life, and growing while looking at life with achievement and strength. Since this study targets elderly women aged 65 or older who are engaged in story grandmother activities, there is a limit to generalizing the research results, so it is suggested to study the growth process of more diverse age groups and various types of volunteer activities in the future.

본 연구는 이야기할머니활동이 노인에게 행복한 삶의 의미와 긍정적인 성장에 미치는 영향에 관한 삶의 경험을 현상학으로 연구하였다. 본 연구 기간은 2021년 3월부터 사전면접을 실시하고 2022년 7월까지 연구 진행하였다. 연구방법은 노년기 여성들이 삶을 있는 그대로 탐구하며 이해하는 작업에 적합한 Colaizzi 현상학 연구방법으로 노인여성 9명을 선정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 첫째, 노인의 행복 경험은 욕망충족적인 삶, 비교주의적인 삶, 적응과 대처적 행복한 삶에서는 긍정적 변화에 반응하고 긍정의미를 부여하고 적극적으로 발굴하는 삶을 제공한다. 둘째, 노인은 상향·하향이론의 자기실현적인 삶에서 순간들의 행복을 체험하며 삶의 의미를 경험하였다. 셋째, 노인의 성장은 긍정심리학의 PERMAS의 행복한 변화로서, 긍정정서와 몰입과 긍정관계적인 삶의 의미와 목적으로 삶을 추구하며 성취와 강점으로 삶을 바라보며 성장한다. 본 연구는 65세 이상 이야기할머니활동을 하는 여성 노인을 대상으로 하였기에 연구결과를 일반화하는 데 한계점이 있으므로, 향후 더 다양한 연령층과 다양한 종류의 봉사활동 성장과정을 연구하기를 제언한다.
