Abstract

The purposes of this study were to identify influence of social networks and social support on depression among older women in rural area on agricultural off-season. The sample consisted of 112 women aged 65 years or over who lived in rural areas of Chung-Nam. Some variables related to depression in older women, including depression, social network, social support were measured using reliable instruments. Pathway analysis was used to test the proposed conceptual model designed to explain the direct, indirect and total effect between social networks and social support on depression. Result, direct effect of satisfaction with kin network and instrumental support on depression was found. And indirect effect of network size with kin, satisfaction with kin network on depression was found. Based on these results, it is necessary to develop supportive system to reduce depression and to improve satisfaction with kin network and instrumental support.

본 연구는 농촌여성노인의 사회적지지망과 사회적지지가 우울에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구대상자는 충청남도의 일 농촌지역에 거주하고 있는 65세 이상의 여성 노인 112명으로 설문지를 통해 친족과 비친족의 사회적 지지망(크기, 접촉빈도, 만족도), 사회적지지(정서적지지, 물질적지지), 우울을 측정하였고, 경로분석을 통해 사회적 지지망과 사회적지지가 우울에 미치는 영향력을 분석하였다. 연구결과 농촌여성노인의 친족만족도와 물질적지지가 우울에 직접효과를 갖는 요인으로 확인되었고, 친족크기와 친족만족도는 물질적지지를 매개로하여 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 농촌여성노인들의 우울을 감소시키기 위해 친족만족도를 향상시키고 물질적지지를 제공할 수 있는 다양한 사회적지지 체계가 마련되어야 할 것이다.
