Abstract

This study aimed to identify factors influencing depression in married middle-aged men. Subjects were 141 married middle-aged men (40~60 years) living in C and D city. Questionnaires included general characteristics, body mass index, marital intimacy, self-esteem, life event stress, and depression. Data were collected from August 15 to October 20, 2020. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using SPSS Win 23.0. As a results, depression had a significantly negative correlation with marital intimacy (r=-.44, p<.001) and self-esteem (β=-.40, p<.001). Self-esteem had a significantly positive correlation with marital intimacy (r=.48, p<.001). Factors influencing depression in marital middle-aged men were marital intimacy (β=-.24, p=.003) and self-esteem (β=-.40, p<.001). These variables explained 32.1% of depression. To reduce depression of married middle-aged men, nursing strategies considering marital intimacy and self-esteem must be provided to the middle-aged men.

본 연구는 기혼 중년 남성의 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위하여 시도되었다. 연구대상은 C시와 D시에 거주하고 있는 40~60세에 해당하는 기혼 중년 남성 141명이었으며, 일반적 특성, 체질량지수, 부부친밀도, 자아존중감, 생활사건 스트레스, 우울에 관한 설문을 실시하였다. 자료수집은 2020년 8월 15일부터 10월 20일까지였으며, 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 23.0 프로그램을 활용하여, 기술통계, 독립표본 t검증, 일원배치분산분석, Pearson 상관계수, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 우울은 부부친밀도(r=-.44, p<.001)와 자아존중감(r=-.53, p<.001)과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였으며, 자아존중감은 부부친밀도와 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다(r=.48, p<.001). 기혼 중년 남성의 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인은 부부친밀도(β=-.24, p=.003)와 자아존중감(β=-.40, p<.001)이었으며, 이들 변수는 32.1%의 설명력을 가졌다. 기혼 중년 남성의 우울을 감소시키기 위해 자아존중감과 부부친밀도를 고려한 중재방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
