Abstract

The purpose of this study is to apply latent transition analysis to identify the types of life satisfaction at two points in time, before and after the disability, and to identify the types of transition between time points and factors affecting the transition. As a result of the analysis, first, life satisfaction before the occurrence of disability and life satisfaction in the third year after disability were classified into three potential groups: low-level maintenance, medium-level maintenance, and high-level maintenance. Second, the transition pattern of life satisfaction type for the disabled was different depending on the type of life satisfaction potential profile before disability. Third, depression was identified as an influencing variable that transitions from the ‘low-level maintenance group’ in the third year after the disability in life satisfaction before the occurrence of disability, and in the ‘medium-level maintenance group’ and ‘high-level maintenance groups’, education, marital status, health status, job status, depression, emotional support, degree of disability, and daily life restrictions were identified as transfer factors.
