Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify its influencing factors of depression in middle aged women. Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data collected from 142 middle aged women by using self-reported questionnaire Korean version of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Menopause-specific Quality of life (MENQOL), Korean Perceived Stress Scale-10 (KPSS-10), Multiple dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Perceived health status. Data were analyzed stepwise multiple regression with SPSS 19.0. Results: The mean score for depression was 17.45. There were difference of depression scores in marital satisfaction (F = 6.15, p= 0.001) and quality of sleep (F = 8.12, $p{\leq}0.001$). There were difference of menopausal specific quality of life that were statistically significant in marital satisfaction (F = 5.40, p= 0.002) and quality of sleep (F = 4.20, p= 0.003). Depression was correlated with stress (r = 0.69, p< 0.001), social support (r = 0.52, p< 0.001), menopausal specific quality of life (r = 0.52, p< 0.001) and perceived health status (r = -0.44, p< 0.001). The factors related to depression were stress (${\beta}=0.48$, p< 0.001), social support (${\beta}=-0.25$, p< 0.001), quality of life on menopause (${\beta}=0.18$, p< 0.001) which explained 56% of the variance reported in depression. Conclusions: The results indicate that these factors influencing depression should be considered when developing integrated intervention program to cope with depression in middle aged women.
