Abstract

This is a descriptive study to show the basis for program development to relieve depression by finding what factors influence depression of late middle-aged men. This research is the secondary analysis which was conducted with the data of 124 people and the primary data from 2018. As a result of this study, the main factors influencing depression of late middle-aged men are job stress, family bond, anxiety in later life and educational background with 70.8% of the total explanatory power. Therefore, it will be needed ways to strengthen positive coping skills for job stress & family bonds and development and application of programs to relieve depression of late middle-aged men. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the coping skills of people who are vulnerable to depression through customized programs considering differences in educational background when developing programs.

본 연구는 후기 중년 남성의 우울에 미치는 영향 요인을 규명함으로써 우울을 완화시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하는 연구로 2018년 <전후기 중년 남성의 삶의 질 영향 요인에 대한 융합적 연구>인 일차연구 자료와 추가 수집한 자료 총 124부를 이용한 이차분석 연구이다. 연구결과, 후기 중년 남성의 우울에 미치는 영향요인은 직업 스트레스가 가장 높은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고 그 다음 가족유대감, 노후 생활의 불안정도, 학력(고등학교 졸업) 순으로 나타났으며 전체 설명력은 70.8%로 나타났다. 따라서 후기 중년 남성의 우울을 감소시키기 위해 직업 스트레스에 대한 긍정적인 대처와 가족 간의 유대관계를 강화하기 위한 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이며 다가오는 노후생활을 긍정적으로 받아들일 수 있도록 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하고 프로그램 개발 시 학력별 차이를 감안한 맞춤형 프로그램을 통해 우울에 취약한 대상자의 대처 기능을 좀 더 강화시킬 필요가 있다.
