Abstract

Purpose: This study was to examine factors related to depression of the elderly, and using them, to lay the ground for the development of nursing intervention.

Methods: This was a descriptive correlation study. The subjects were 581 elders aged over 65 from senior centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with SAS.

Results: The predictors of depression in the elderly were quality of life, moral, life satisfaction, self-esteem, loneliness, nonformal support, and perceived health state. Among them, quality of life was the most significant predictor in the elderly. These factors explained 72.2% of the total variance.

Conclusion: These findings suggest the need to develop nursing strategies for decreasing depression in the
elderly. To decrease the depression of the elderly, the above-mentioned major influencing factors should be
considered.
