연구목적: 본 연구는 재가노인과 시설노인의 재난정보이해능력 수준 및 영향요인을 분석함으로써 정책적, 실천적 개입 방향을 제시하는 것을 목표로 한다. 연구방법: 전국의 만 65세 이상의 재가노인 및 시설노인을 대상으로 재난정보이해능력(E-DLS)척도를 포함한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과: 재가노인은 학력, ADL 장애, 사회적지지 정도, 시설노인의 경우 월평균수입, 스마트폰사용여부, 사회적지지 정도가 재난정보이해능력에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 노인의 재난정보이해능력 향상을 위한 다양한 방안을 제안하였다.
