Abstract

This study was performed to determine the levels of depression symptoms among community elderlies and to reveal its related factors, specifically aimed at revealing social and family supports. The interviews were performed, during the period from July 1, to August 31, 2010, to 412 elderlies in urban areas. As a results, significantly higher level of depression symptoms was laid on those with lower social supports and family supports(p=0.000), and the subjects' depression was a negative correlation with social and family support. On multiple regression analysis, the level of depression symptoms was influenced by the variables of social and family support, with or without disability of visual acuity, sense of satisfaction in daily life, number of friends, educational level, with or without spouse, activity of hobbies and urinary incontinence. In conclusion, the level of depression symptoms was so complicatedly influenced by variable factors as well as socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, health status, social support net-work and social activities. Especially, the level of depression symptoms was more influenced by social supports and family supports.

본 연구는 일부 도시지역 노인들의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 건강상태, 사회적 지지망과 사회 활동특성, 사회적지지 및 가족지지에 따른 우울수준을 파악하고, 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 도시지역 노인 412명(남자 191명, 여자 221명)으로 하였으며, 자료 수집은 2010년 6월 1일부터 7월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 무기명식 면접조사용 설문지를 사용하여 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 조사대상노인의 우울수준은 사회적 지지 및 가족지지가 낮을수록 유의하게 높았으며(p=0.000), 우울수준은 사회적 지지 및 가족지지와 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 다중회귀분석 결과 조사대상자의 우울수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 사회적지지, 눈의 부자유 유무, 일상생활에 대한 만족도, 친구 수, 교육정도, 배우자유무, 취미활동 빈도, 요실금 유무 및 가족지지가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 따라서 도시지역 노인들의 우울수준은 사회적지지 및 가족지지가 영향요인으로 작용하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 건강상태, 사회적 지지망과 사회활동특성 등 여러 변수들과도 관련성이 있었다.
