This study was designed to identify the relation-ship between perceived social support and discernd powerlessness held by the elderly residing in a rural community. The purpose of this study was to con-tribute to theoretical understanding of the relation-ship of these two variables and eventually to the more effective adaptation of the elderly to their situation. The subjects for this study were the 89 elderly residing in a rural community. Data were collected by a questionnaire from June 2 to 20, 1998. The data were analysed by descriptive statistics, ttest, ANOVA, Pearson correlated coefficient and stepwise multiple regression using a SAS program.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows.
1. The relationship between perceived social support and discernd powerlessness was significant(r= .23502, p=.0266). Especially, discernd elderly´s powerlessness shows a highly significant relationship with family and neighborhood support (family r= .45096, p=.0001, neighborhood r= .35681, p=.0006). In the support patterns, the discernd powerlessness of the elderly has a significant relationship to emotional, informational and evaluational support. Therefore the hypothesis that, "the lower the degree of social support perceived by the elderly, the higher the degree of discened powerlessness" was supported.
2. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of discened powerlessness was family support in support system (R2 =.2034), and emotional support (R2 = .0627) in support patterns.
3. General characteristic related to the degree of social support was only residential status (P < .05), but the degree of family support was related to spouse (t = 2.390, p<.01), residential status (t -2.157, p<.05), and household
