본 연구는 지역사회 보건진료소를 이용하는 농촌노인의 상실감과 자살생각과의 관계에서 우울의 매개효과를 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 전남지역 보건진료소의 건강증진프로그램을 3년 이상 꾸준히 이용하고 이는 65세 이상의 노인으로 총 345명으로, 자료분석은 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여, 기술통계, 상관분석, 위계적 회귀분석, Sobel test 방법으로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 지역사회 보건진료소를 이용하는 노인의 상실감과 우울 및 자살생각은 모두 정적상관을 나타내었다. 또한 지역사회 보건진료소를 이용하는 노인의 상실감과 자살생각과의 관계에서 우울의 부분매개효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여 지역사회 노인의 자살생각을 감소시키기 위해서는 보건진료소를 이용하는 노인들의 상실감과 우울을 감소시킬 수 있는 중재방안이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 이에 본 연구자는 보건진료소에서 제공하고 있는 건강증진프로그램과 함께 우울을 감소시킬 수 있는 정신건강프로그램을 결합하여 확장시키는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.
