The purpose of this study was to explain the influence of depression on the life satisfaction of the elderly with hypertension. Also, we were focusing whether there is a mediating effect of subjective health status between depression and life satisfaction of the elderly with hypertension. 2,198 persons with hypertension over 65 years of age were selected from the data of KLoSA(Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing), administered by The Korea Employment Information Service in 2014. Life satisfaction was measured by 10-Likert. The depression measured by CES-D10. The mediating variable is subjective health status measured by 5-Likert. As the method of analysis, the multiple regressions were used with SPSS 19.0. The result of the study shows that depression has a negative influence on life satisfaction and a negative influence on subjective health status. It was also verified that the subjective health status variable has a mediating effect between depression and life satisfaction.

본 연구는 서울과 춘천에 거주하는 노인 1,409명을 대상으로 노인의 영성과 종교 활동이 생활만족도와 우울에 영향을 미치며, 동시에 노인의 건강상태가 생활만족도와 우울에 미치는 부정적인 영향을 감소시키는 효과가 있는지를 분석하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 선행연구에서 노인의 건강수준, 생활만족도와 우울, 영성과 종교 활동은 성별에 따라 일관되게 유의미한 차이가 나타나 성별에 따른 영향도 포함하였다. 건강상태는 만성질환의 수로 측정하였고, 생활만족도는 PGCMS를, 우울은 CES-D를 적용하였다. 영성은 IE종교성 척도를 활용하였고, 종교활동은 종교모임에 참여하는 빈도로 측정하였다. 단계별 다중회귀분석을 적용하여 분석한 결과, 노인의 영성은 생활만족도와 우울에 영향을 미치지 않으나 건강상태가 생활만족도와 우울에 미치는 부정적인 영향을 감소시키는 효과를 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 종교 활동은 노인의 생활만족도에는 영향을 미치지 않는 반면 우울에는 영향을 미치며, 건강상태가 생활만족도와 우울에 미치는 영향을 감소하는 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 노인복지의 실천적 함의와 향후 연구를 위한 제안을 제시했다.

Background: This study was aimed at reducing depression and improving the quality of life and oral health of the elderly Koreans by elucidating the effect of depression on their life quality and oral health. Methods: Original data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey (2019) were analyzed and implemented. The elderly (age≥65years) Koreans were enrolled. The oral health status was determined using the Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and subjective self-report. The quality of life was quantified as the sum of score of each item in the Euro Qol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) and Health-related Quality of Life Instrument with 8 Items (HINT-8). The t-test, one-way analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were performed to statistically compare the quality of life, oral health status, and oral health status according to the depression status. Results: EQ-5D and HINT-8 scores differed significantly with the history of depression, current depression, stress perception, depression for 2 weeks, and annual suicidal intention (p≤0.05). The DMFT index score differed significantly with the depression diagnosis and depression for 2 weeks (p≤0.05). EQ-5D, HINT-8, and DMFT index differed significantly with all oral health behavior variables (p≤ 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study could serve as a basis to formulate oral health programs for the elderly to reduce depression and improve the quality of life.

Purpose: This research was designed as a pre-post experimental study with a nonequivalent control group to verify the effects of meridian exercise on health status, depression and self-esteem in institutionalized elderly people. Method: The research population included 38 participants, 65 years and over, who were assigned to an experimental group (18) or a control group (20). All of the participants were institutionalized in Seoul Data collection was done from October. 2000 to May, 2001 and the experimental treatment for this study, meridian exercise, was done for a total 30 minutes per session for 12 sessions over two weeks. The exercise was developed by a professor of Oriental Medicine and the researchers involved in this study. The data were analyzed using the SPSS PC+ program. Result: There were no significant differences for general characteristics between the two groups. Physical health status, mental-mood health status, depression and self-esteem were low. Differences in the physical health status of the elderly people was higher in the experimental group (t=16.299, p=.000). The effects of the meridian exercise on mental-mood health status, depression, and self-esteem were statistically significant (t= 10.301, p= .000 ; t=15.579, p=.000, t=14.571, p=.000). Conclusion: According to the results, meridian exercise should be used to improve health status, reduce depression and increase self-esteem, and so promote the quality of life for elderly People who must be institutionalized. A study to measure the physiological index in meridian exercise for elderly people is suggested as a method to set up a Korean nursing intervention to enable elderly people to manage their own health.
