Objectives: The relationships among discrimination, social support, and mental health have mostly been studied in minorities, and relevant studies in the general population are lacking. We aimed to investigate associations between discrimination and depressive symptoms in Korean non-minority young adults, considering the role of social support. Methods: In total, 372 participants who completed the psychological examinations conducted in the third wave of the Jangseong High School Cohort study were included. We used the Everyday Discrimination Scale to evaluate perceived discrimination and the Beck Depression Inventory-II to measure depressive symptoms. Social support was measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Multivariate linear regression was conducted to investigate associations between discrimination and depression, along with the effect modification of social support. We stratified the population by gender to investigate gender differences. Results: Perceived discrimination was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (${\beta}=0.736$, p<0.001), and social support was negatively associated with depression (${\beta}=-0.245$, p<0.001). In men, support from friends was the most influential factor (${\beta}=-0.631$, p=0.011), but no significant effect modification was found. In women, support from family was the most influential factor (${\beta}=-0.440$, p=0.010), and women with higher familial support showed a significantly diminished association between discrimination and depression, unlike those with lower family support. Conclusions: Discrimination perceived by individuals can lead to depressive symptoms in Korean young adults, and this relationship can may differ by gender and social support status.

This research aims to integrate study results through a meta-analysis of previous studies on the variables related with social support for female marriage immigrants. Based on the results, this study established the foundation of an integrated social support system for female marriage immigrants which considers both the functional perspective and structural perspective of social support, and suggested plans for an efficient support system. All social support was positively associated with female marriage immigrants marriage life, child-rearing behavior and attitude, reduction of stress and depression and psychological stability. In relation to the effect size of each variable related with all social support, the marriage variable had the biggest relationship with it, followed by the parenting variable, the psychological variable and the stress variable in that order. With reference to the relationship with related variables according to the sub-domain of social support, from the structural perspective, spousale support showed a high relationship with the marriage variable and the stress variable. It was also especially, very highly related with the marriage variable. In addition, a married woman's family support and expert support had an intermediate relationship with the marriage variable, and the husband's family support and friend support had a low relationship with it. From the functional perspective, material support had a very high relationship with the marriage variable, whereas it had a low relationship with the stress variable and the psychological variable. Emotional support was also highly related with marriage variable, but showed an intermediate or low relationship with the psychological variable and the stress variable. On the other hand, informational support displayed an intermediate relationship with the stress variable and the psychological variable, and a high relationship with the marriage variable. Lastly, evaluative support had a high relationship with the marriage variable and the psychological variable. Based on these results, this study proposed plans for an integrated social support system as follows. First, education ought to be provided for the spouses, and support for marital adjustment should be offered. Second, there plans should be made for continuous bonding with the family of origin, and support should be given to address changes in awareness of the relationship with the husband's parents.

본 연구는 성인의 사회적 지지와 우울 정도를 파악하고, 일반적 특성에 따라 사회적 지지와 우울 정도를 비교하며, 사회적 지지와 우울 간에 관계를 분석하여 우울에 미치는 사회적 지지의 효과를 파악함으로써, 우울 예방 및 관리를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구의 자료는 제주특별자치도에서 지원하여 수행한 '제주도민 우울실태조사' 연구과제의 원시 자료를 이용하여 이차분석 하였으며, 연구대상은 제주지역에서 계층적 무작위 집락 표출법을 이용하여 선정한 750가구의 성인이었으며, 24명의 훈련된 조사원이 2007년 11월부터 12월까지 가구면접조사를 통해 수집한 1,155명의 자료를 분석하였다. 우울은 The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D)를 이용하였고, 사회적 지지는 The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey 도구를 이용하였다. 연구결과, 우울은 평균 11.35점이었고. 사회적 지지는 평균 75.53점이었다. 주관적 건강수준이 낮을수록, 스트레스가 높을 수록, 학력이 낮을수록, 결혼상태가 미혼이거나 배우자가 있는 경우보다 이혼 및 사별인 경우, 사회경제적 수준이 낮을수록, 종교가 없는 경우 우울 정도는 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 여섯개의 독립변수가 설명하는 변량은 29.8%였고, 회귀모형은 유의하였다. 사회적 지지가 포함되었을 때, 결혼상태, 사회경제적 수준, 종교는 유의하지 않았고, 사회적 지지와 주관적 건강수준, 스트레스, 교육수준은 우울에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 회귀모형을 유의하였고, 설명되는 변량은 36.9%로 사회적 지지가 포함되지 않았을 때보다 7.4%가 증가하였다. 또한 단계적 회귀분석을 하였을 때, 사회적 지지가 설명하는 변량은 22%로 비교적 높았고, 주관적 건강수준으로 설명변량이 11.4% 증가하였고, 스트레스 인지를 추가하여 우울에 대한 설명변량이 2.7%가 증가한 것으로 나타나, 다른 변수들에 비해 사회적 지지의 설명 변량이 높은 편이었고, 회귀계수도 ${\beta}$=-.319로 비교적 큰 편이었다. 사회적 지지는 본 연구에 포함된 다른 여러 변수에 비해 우울을 가장 잘 설명해주는 요인이므로 사회적 지지 강화 프로그램을 마련하여 우울예방과 관리를 위한 하나의 전략으로 활용할 것을 제안한다.

This study investigated the effects of mothers' perceived social support, stress, and children's temperament on parenting self-efficacy of boy's and girl's mothers among 416 Korean mothers living in Seoul, Korea. Results showed that mothers' parenting self-efficacy of boys and girls were positively related to mothers' perceived social support and children's temperament. On the other hand, parenting self-efficacy of both boys' and girls' mothers were negatively related to mothers' stress. Multiple regression indicated that mothers' perceived social support and children's temperament were the significant predictors for mothers' parenting self-efficacy of boys and girls. Husbands' support, support from social network, approach-withdrawal, and activity level-general were the significant predictors for mothers' parenting self-efficacy of boys. Husbands' support, support from social network, conflict with their children, transition of husband's job, difficulty of finance and business were the significant predictors for mothers' parenting self-efficacy of girls. Husbands' support was the strongest predicator of mothers' parenting self-efficacy of boys and girls.

An explanatory design was employed to identify the relationship of physical, emotional & social readjustment and social support of post hospitalized stroke patients and their caregivers. A convenient sample of 254 patients who given follow-up care at the outpatient department after discharge and 225 caregivers were recruited. Mental Status Questionnaire (MSQ), Social Support Inventory Stroke Survivors (SSISS), Illness intrusiveness(II), Instument Activity of Daily Living(IADL), Center of Epidemilogic Studies-Depression(CES-D), social activity and caregiver burden were used for measurement in this study. Results showed patient's physical level measured by IADL and psychological level measured by depression were high. But social activity was low. Cognitive function, depression & social activity were not significantly different by the posthospitalized period, but IADL was. The source of professional support was mostly the physician at the outpatient department. The family support was found significantly related to patient's depression & social activity and caregiver's subjective burden. Professional support was found significantly related to patient's IADL & depression. Illness intrusiveness as a mediating variable was a sig nificantly predicting power on patient's IADL & depression. The path analysis was used to identify the variables to predict the physical, emotional, and social status of patients. As a result, patient's age, cognitive function, illness intursiveness and professional support significantly predicted the level of IADL ; patient's cognitive function, illness intrusiveness and family support significantly predicted the level of depression ; and patient's age and family support significantly predicted the level of social activity of posthospitalized stroke patients. Based upon these results, the rehabilitation programs to reduce the illness intrusiveness and improve cognitive funtion were recommended for the readjustment of the stroke patients. This model of the readjustment of the posthospitalized stroke patients is recommended as the framework for care of the stroke patients.
