노인의 긍정적 일탈이 심리적 복지감에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 : 노인복지센터 특화프로그램 ‘청춘클럽’을 중심으로

초록

This study analyzes societal perceptions of the importance of leisure activities for older adults and seeks ways to improve and promote the quality of these activities. To this end, the study selected the leisure program ‘Cheongchun Club’, offered at a senior welfare center, as an empirical case of the positive deviance approach in older adults' leisure activities. The analysis examined the relationship between positive deviance and psychological well-being among older adults. Seniors participating in the Cheongchun Club reported higher life satisfaction compared to those engaged in general leisure programs, suggesting that positive deviance among seniors significantly enhances psychological well-being. Therefore, in the era of aging populations, communities, local governments, as well as the central government should focus on the concept of positive deviance among older adults and invest more actively in various leisure activities through increased attention and financial support.
