Abstract

This study was performed to determine the levels of depressive symptoms and to reveal its relationships between ADL and IADL among rural elderlies. The interviews were performed, during the period from April 1st, to June 30th, 2010, to 412 elderlies in rural areas. As a results, the distribution of ADL among all subjects were 94.7% in normal-range group, and 5.3% in impaired group. In terms of IADL, 87.4% of the subjects were normal-range group, 12.6% were impaired group. The distribution of depression group among all subjects were 38.2% in normal-range group of ADL, and 90.9% in impaired group of ADL, but it was 35.8% in normal-range group of IADL, and 76.9% in impaired group of IADL. In logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio of the depression was significantly increased in impaired group of ADL than in normal-range group of ADL(OR=23.21, 95% CI=4.38~123.05). Also it was significantly increased in impaired group of IADL than in normal-range group of IADL(OR=7.76, 95% CI=2.99~20.08). In conclusion, the depression of rural elderlies was significantly increased in impaired group than in normal-range group of ADL and IADL. Thus, strategic effort needs to be prevented to depression in impaired group of ADL and IADL.

본 연구는 노인들의 ADL, IADL 및 우울수준을 알아보고, ADL, IADL과 우울수준과의 관련성을 검토하고자 농촌지역 노인 412명(남자 191명, 여자 221명)을 대상으로 2010년 4월 1일부터 6월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 무기명식 면접조사용 설문지를 사용하여 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 ADL의 분포는 정상범위노인군 94.7%, 기능장애노인군 5.3%이었으며, IADL의 분포는 정상범위노인군 87.4%, 기능장애노인군 12.6%이었다. 우울수준의 분포는 정상군 59.0%, 우울군 41.0%이었다. 조사대상자의 우울군의 분포는 ADL이 정상범위노인군에서 38.2%, 기능장애노인군에서 90.9%로 기능장애노인군에서 유의하게 높았으며, IADL이 정상범위노인군에서 35.8%, 기능장애노인군에서 76.9%로 기능장애노인군에서 유의하게 높았다. 다른 변수를 통제한 다변량 모델에서의 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 우울수준에 대한 위험비는 ADL에서 정상범위노인군보다 기능장애노인군에서 23.21배(95% CI=4.38~123.05) 높았고, IADL에서 정상범위노인군보다 기능장애노인군에서 7.76배(95% CI=2.99~20.08) 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 농촌지역 노인들의 ADL과 IADL이 기능장애노인군인 경우 정상군에 비해 우울상태로 되는 위험비가 높아졌다. 따라서 향후 노인들의 우울을 예방하기 위한 대책의 하나로 개인의 ADL 및 IADL과 같은 신체적 기능을 더욱 건강하게 유지 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.
