Abstract

With the increase of the elderly population, problem on social isolation and loneliness have grown in Korea. Elderly dwelling issues have also been gaining increased attention since dwelling environment is discussed in conjunction with elderly's health and life quality. In this study, the data was collected retrospectively of 350 elderlies who live as single households during 1 September, 2017 to 30 September to identify how to define and measure dwelling depression. The content validity and reliability were evaluated and the correlation between the depression and the dwelling satisfaction were compared. Lastly, a regression analysis on the classification of the dwelling depression was performed. The results show that depression appearing in elderly are more likely to experience a dwelling unsatisfaction. Our results contribute to an understanding and measurement of the dwelling depression which has not been sufficiently specified.

우리나라는 급격히 증가하고 있는 고령 인구 증가에 따라 고령자의 사회적 고립 및 우울 등의 문제가 심각하게 제기되고 있다. 또한, 고령자의 건강과 삶의 질의 향상 요인으로 주거 환경에 대한 중요성이 부각되면서 고령자 주거에 대한 논의는 더욱 강조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 이와 같은 현실을 고려하며, 2017년도 9월 1일부터 9월 30일까지 7개 시 구에 거주하는 65세 이상 남 여 단독가구 고령자 350명을 대상으로 단독가구 고령자의 주거우울 개념 및 주거우울 유형을 실증적으로 정립 분석하였다. 측정도구의 신뢰도 및 타당성 검토와 우울과 주거만족의 상관분석을 실시하였고, 주거우울 유형 분류를 위해 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 고령자 우울과 주거만족의 상관을 확인하였고, 주거우울 지수를 산출하여 단독가구 고령자의 우울 상태를 판정할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 새롭게 개발된 주거우울 척도와 유형이 단독가구 고령자의 주거우울정도에 대한 정확한 진단을 가능하게 할 것으로 기대된다.
