This study was to examine the effects of group reminiscence on depression of the elderly and to identify the possible use of the independent nursing intervention for reminiscence. The subjects, consisting of 46 elderly residents at D-ku, in Seoul, were divided into experimental and control group. The research was done by non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. Data were gathered from Oct. 4th to Dec. 2nd, 1989 through interview by questionnaire and measure the degree of depression by Zung's scale. Group reminiscence, was defined as independent nursing intervention belong to cognitive intervention by nurse. The schedule and content of reminiscence were developed by investigator. Analysis of data were done by frequency, mean, t-test, and Pearsons's correlations. The results were as follows: $\cdot$ There was no significant difference between experimental and control group after pre & post group reminiscence. $\cdot$ The mean depression score was 43.4 all subjects. In addition to, the result of added analysis were as follows; $\cdot$ There was significant difference in the depression score between healthy and unhealthy group according to perception by subjects (P<05). $\cdot$ There was significant difference between above average economic status and poor status according to perception by subjects (p<.05). $\cdot$ Depression of the subjects was related to the duration of widowhood(r=.3980, p=.015). Further research needs to be done on the effects of group reminiscence as independent nursing intervention. This study needs to be replicated in different settings, studied on the assess of psychological well being for the elderly with the exception of depression and to be identified psychological chacaracteristics of the elderly.

본 연구는 노인의 비동거자녀 관계망이 우울에 미치는 영향을 종단으로 분석하여 도농 간 차이를 확인하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 한국고용정보원에서 실시하고 있는 고령화연구패널조사 데이터 중 3차(2010년)부터 5차(2014년)까지 65세 이상 노인 총 1,609명(도시노인 1,011명, 농촌노인 598명)을 활용하여 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 도시노인보다는 농촌노인의 우울이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노인의 비동거자녀 관계망 중 비동거자녀 수는 농촌노인이 더 많은 것으로 나타났고, 비동거자녀 근접성과 만남빈도, 그리고 경제적 지원은 도시노인이 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 도시노인의 경우 시간의 흐름에 따라 연락빈도가 많아질수록, 만남빈도 및 관계만족도가 낮아질수록 우울한 것으로 나타났고, 농촌노인의 경우 비동거자녀와의 근접성이 낮아질수록 우울한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 노인 우울 예방을 위한 구체적인 사회복지 실천적, 정책적 개입 방안을 제시하였다.

Methods: Subjects were 115 elderly women over 65 years old who were capable of verbal/nonverbal communication and could understand/answer the questionnaire in H region. Data collection was conducted after receiving written consent using a structured questionnaire. The data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient using the SPSS 12.0/WIN program. Results: Results of this study showed that the degree of depression in elderly women was $4.14{\pm}3.22$ on average and the degrees of death anxiety and quality of life were $2.41{\pm}0.55$ and $3.72{\pm}0.59$ on average, respectively. No significant correlation was observed between depression and death anxiety however, depression showed negative correlation (r=-.448, p<.001) with quality of life and death anxiety also showed negative correlation (r=-.219, p<.05) with quality of life. Conclusion: We can predict that depression and death anxiety negatively affect quality of life of elderly women.

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 우울과 삶의 질의 관계에서 걷기가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 탐색하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 제6기 2차년도(2014) 국민건강영양조사 자료 중 65세 이상 노인 1,263명을 대상으로 하여 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적 특성과 독립변수 및 조절변수에 따른 살의 질 차이를 확인하기 위해 t-test, ANOVA를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 연구결과 성별(t=8.26, p<.001), 나이(t=5.19, p<.001), 만성질환 수(F=37.88, p<.001), 우울(t=9.62, p<.001), 걷기(t=47.36, p<.001)에 따른 삶의 질의 차이가 나타났다. 걷기의 조절효과를 확인하기 위하여 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 연구결과 걷기는 우울이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 있어서 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 걷기 수준이 높아질수록 우울이 삶의 질에 미치는 효과가 감소하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 연구결과를 토대로 우울한 노인의 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서 걷기의 증진이 필요함을 제언하는 바이다. 본 연구의 의의는 걷기의 조절효과를 밝힘으로써 삶의 질을 높이기 위한 프로그램 구성의 근거를 제시하였다는 점에 있다.

Methods: This is an exploratory survey study. The subjects were 365 elders consisting of 140 men (38.4%) and 225 women (61.6%) in a rural area in Korea. Data were collected from December, 2006 to January, 2007 using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation, t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffe's test using the SPSS/WIN 10.0. Results: The mean scores of perceived health status and ADL were lower and depression was higher in women than in men. There were statistically significant differences in perceived health status according to the stage of exercise change. Also there were significant differences in the scores of ADL, depression, and life satisfaction according to the stage of exercise change. Conclusion: The tailored exercise seems to decrease depression while promoting physical health status and life satisfaction among the rural elderly. We suggest considering the client's intention and motivation when developing exercise programs.

The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate a preventive mental health program for the depression among the elderly in community. Based on the review of literature, intervention program for preventing depression among the elderly was developed. In particular, the program focuses on enhancing the sense of control which is from social cognitive theory. The preventive mental health program consists of two parts: Tan-Hak and Social intervention program. Tan-Hak was oriented to cognitive change and activities, while social intervention program dealt with some social skills for relationship, stress management, motivation of social activities (volunteer activities), positive future designing, etc. For the evaluation of this program, we employed depression scale and medical measurement such as hormone test before and after the program, and in-depth interview of subjects. Overall, this program was successful in some points. First, through the pre and post test, this program has positive effect on strengthening the sense of control, and consequently, lowering depression level. Secondly, 18 people started this program called "smile class" at first time, and none of them turned out until the end of the program. This implies that the program was interesting to the elderly.
