초록

본 논문은 노인 장기 요양기관에서 노인들의 우울증에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구로서 서울시에 소재하며 노인 장기요인시설에 수용되어 있는 360여 명의 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 한국노인복지학회의 통계에 의하면 65세 이상 노인 우울증환자의 수는 13%에 이른다고 보고한 바 있다. 여기에 사회적 지지가 이러한 정서적 불안을 해소하는데 주요한 관건으로 보고 있다. 그 결과 인지된 사회적 지지와 우울증과의 관계가 강한 정을 나타내고, 그 다음으로 건강상태와 우울증이정(+)의 관계였다. 그리고 높은 건강상태는 낮은 정도의 우울증을 유발하고 네트워크의 크기나 접근의 빈도는 노인우울증과는 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 노인 장기요양기관에 종사하는 사회복지사에게 사회사업실천에 있어 사회적 지지 프로그램을 어떻게 실천하여야 하는가를 암시하고 있다.
