Abstract

This study was performed to determine the levels of depression(CES-D) and its related factors among the elderly people affiliated with long-term care insurance services in urban areas. The interviews were performed, during the period from March 1st, to May 31th, 2012, to 388 elderlies. As a result, the levels of depression among all subjects were 21.6% of normal group, and 78.4% of depression group. The distribution of depression according to the grade of long-term care insurance were 83.6% in Grade I, 82.1% in Grade II and 67.0% in Grade III, and the level of distribution were significantly higher according to the higher grade of long-term care insurance. For the results of multiple logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio was increased in older age group, in the poor health status group, and in the group of seldom in activity of hobbies than their counterparts, but it was decreased in the higher monthly income group than lower group. Above results suggested that the depression was significantly related with the variables such as sociodemographic characteristics, economic status, health related factors and health status.

본 연구는 장기요양보험급여를 받고 있는 도시지역 노인들의 장기요양등급에 따른 우울수준을 파악해 보고, 우울수준에 관련된 요인을 규명해 보고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 대전광역시 5개구에서 장기요양보험급여를 받고 있는 노인 338명을 대상으로 하였다. 조사는 2012년 3월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 무기명식 면접조사용 설문지를 사용하여 면접조사 하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 CES-D에 의한 우울수준은 정상군(CES-D 21점미만)이 21.6%, 우울군(CES-D 21점 이상)이 78.4%이었다. 장기요양등급에 따른 우울군(CES-D 21점 이상)의 분포는 장기요양 1등급에서 83.6%, 2등급에서 82.1%, 3등급에서 67.0%로 장기요양 등급이 높을수록 우울군의 분포도 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 우울 수준과 제 요인과의 관련성을 알아보기 위해 다중로지스틱회귀분석 결과 우울수준에 대한 교차비는 65-74세 연령군보다 75세이상 연령군에서, 주관적인 건강상태가 좋다는 군보다 좋지 않다는 군에서, 취미활동을 자주한다는 군보다 거의하지 않는다는 군에서 유의하게 증가하였으며, 월수입 50만원 이하군보다 50만원 이상 군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 이 같은 결과는 우울에 관련된 요인이 개인의 기본 속성, 경제 상태, 신체의 건강상태나 활동성 등의 다양한 요인과 관련성이 있다는 것을 시사하고 있다.
