Abstract

This study explored whether the transition to living with a chronic disease changes the level of depression symptoms among middle-aged and older adults in South Korea. We hypothesize that the transition to living with chronic disease leads to a higher level of depressive symptoms. A nationally representative sample (N = 6,284) of adults 45 years and older from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) was analyzed. Multi-regression modeling was used to examine the association between the diagnosis of chronic disease and the level of depressive symptoms in patients. The findings highlight the need for policy makers, clinicians, as well as patients and their caregivers to become more aware of mental health risks in patients diagnosed with chronic diseases, particularly first-time patients. This study contributes to encouraging greater psychosocial support, including monitoring the level of depressive symptoms of patients who develop chronic conditions and providing appropriate treatments for those at the highest risk.

본 연구는 노인인구의 급속한 증가에 따른 만성질환자 증가 추이를 고려하여, 만성질환에 의한 정신건강 악화에 대해 다루고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 한국인의 사망원인 중에서 상위를 차지하는 5가지의 주요 만성질환(당뇨병, 암, 만성폐질환, 심장질환, 뇌혈관 질환)을 선정하였다. 1-2차년도 고령화연구패널조사(KLoSA)에 참여한 45세 이상의 중고령자를 대상으로, 만성질환 진단자로의 전이와 우울 수준이 어떠한 관계가 있는지 살펴보았다. 연구방법은 SPSS 25.0을 사용한 다중회귀분석을 실시하여, 만성질환자로 전이한 경우 및 5가지 각 질환별 전이한 경우가 우울에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면, 만성질환 진단자로 전이는 우울수준을 유의미하게 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 질환별로 살펴보았을 때, 암, 만성 폐질환, 뇌혈관 질환이 진단된 중고령자는 우울 수준이 높아졌으나, 당뇨병과 심장질환이 진단된 경우는 우울에 유의한 영향을 미친다는 증거가 발견되지 않았다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 만성질환자로의 전이와 우울관리에 대한 논의가 이루어졌다.
