Abstract

This descriptive study investigated depression among 4,904 elderly people aged 60 to 90 years using the Korean Retirement and Income Study. The depressive group and non-depressive group were classified by the depression self-diagnostic scale, CES-D. The effects of general characteristics, disability, disability type, IADL, and social support on depression were examined. A t-test, chi-squared test, and logistic regression analysis were used to identify risk factors affecting depression. The average age of the depressive group was 75.10 years, which was higher than the average age of the non-depressive group (73.44 years), indicating that depression increased with age. Elderly who were female, elderly with no spouse, elderly with lower educational attainment and with a lower household income were in the depressed group. The score to perform IADL of disabled persons was higher than that of non-disabled persons, and the social support was lower. Logistic regression analysis performed to determine the risk factors affecting depression revealed that it was affected by disability and type of disability. Although this study has some limitations, the results presented herein can be used as a basis for understanding elderly with disabilities and developing future healthcare programs for them.

본 연구는 국민노후보장패널을 이용하여 만 60세 이상 90세 미만 4,904명 노인의 우울함을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 우울증 자가진단 척도인 CES-D에 따라서 우울군과 비우울군으로 분류하고 일반적 특성, 장애여부, 장애유형, 도구적 일상생활 수행능력, 사회적 지지 등이 우울에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. t-검정, 카이제곱 검정, 우울에 영향을 미치는 위험요인을 파악하기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 우울군 평균 연령이 75.10세로 비우울군 73.44세보다 높았으며 연령이 증가함에 따라 우울은 증가하였다. 남성보다는 여성, 배우자가 없는 노인, 학력이 낮을수록, 가계 소득이 낮은 노인이 우울군에 많았다. 도구적 일상생활 수행능력은 우울군이 비우울군에 비해 높은 평균 점수를 사회적 지지는 낮은 평균점수로 나타났다. 장애인이 비장애인보다 도구적 일상생활 수행능력은 높은 점수를, 사회적 지지는 낮은 점수로 나타났다. 우울함에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행한 결과, 장애여부, 장애유형에 따라 우울함에 영향을 주었다. 본 연구는 몇 가지 제한점을 가지고 있지만 장애 노인을 이해하고 향후 이들을 위한 건강관리 프로그램 개발에 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
