Abstract
This research aimed to empirically investigate the effects of satisfaction in Elderly Care Facilities (ECF) and daily stresses of aged people on their depression and self-esteem. Subjects were 271 visitors to 8 ECFs located in Central Korea including Seoul. The data was collected by the survey on them, conducted from March 3 to August 25, 2013. By analyzing the data, we found that the satisfaction with service utilization in ECF can reduce depression, while the satisfaction with medical rehabilitation service may increase depression and that the satisfaction with physical environment can reduce self-esteem. Also, the results showed that the stress related to family relationship has a positive effect on depression and a negative effect on self-esteem. and that the stress concerning residential environment can decrease self-esteem. Depression and self-esteem of the elderly can be predicted by satisfaction in ECFs, but not better than by their daily stresses. Among the predictors of depression and self-esteem, in this study, stress concerning family relationship is the most significant and the strongest.
