Abstract

This study examined the relationship between family support and symptom of depressive among married working women, using the dataset of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women & Family (KLoWF 4th). There were 1,875 subjects. A multiple regression model was used to study the association between family support and symptom of depressive, controlling for economic-socio characteristics, health status and health behavior. Additionally, this study ran three subgroup regression models based on hierarchical model. From the results, there was a negative relationship between marriage happiness (b=-0.369, p<0.001), spouse satisfaction (b=-0.143, p=0.010), frequency of meeting with the wife's family (once a month: b=-0.952, p=0.012) and symptom of depressive (model 3). This negative relationship was also seen in the two subgroup regression models (models 1, and 2). The results of this study show the importance of family support for promoting mental health among married working women.
