Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the depression, happiness on aging, self-esteem, life satisfaction and disability of daily living activity level of the elderly people, and to analyze the variables to impact on their depression. The study data were analyzed descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The most influential variables on the elderly depression were self-esteem with 27.9% of explanatory power (${\beta}=-.318$, p<.001), followed by life satisfaction with 5.5%(${\beta}=-.248$, p<.001), happiness on aging 4.1%((${\beta}=-.200$, p<.001), disability of daily living activity 1.6%(${\beta}=.128$, p=.026), and 4 variables explaining 39.1% of the elderly depression. Therefore it is necessary to develop specific education programs to reduce depression and to improve self-esteem and happiness on aging of the elderly.

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 우울, 늙어감에 대한 행복감, 자아존중감, 생활만족도, 사회참여, 일상생활 활동장애 정도를 파악하고 노인의 우울에 미치는 요인들을 분석하는데 있다. 연구 자료는 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, Stepwise multiple regression analysis를 이용하여 분석하였다. 노인의 우울에 가장 영향이 높은 변수는 자아존중감 27.9%(${\beta}=-.318$, p<.001), 생활만족도 5.5%(${\beta}=-.248$, p<.001), 늙어감에 대한 행복감 4.1%((${\beta}=-.200$, p<.001), 일상생활 활동장애 1.6%(${\beta}=.128$, p=.026) 순으로 이들 네 개의 변수가 노인의 우울을 총 39.1% 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 노인의 우울을 감소시키고 자아존중감과 늙어감에 대한 행복감을 향상시키기 위한 차별화된 교육프로그램을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.
