Abstract
This study aims to verify the controlled mediating effect of social support in the effect of the health status of the elderly with disabilities on life satisfaction through depression. To this end, data from the third panel of the disability and Life dynamics (2020) were used, and the subjects of the study were selected from 3,063 elderly with disabilities aged 50 or older. As an analysis method, SPSS 23.0 and Macro Process for SPSS were used to verify the Moderated mediating effect. The analysis results are as follows. First, it was verified that depression has a partial mediating effect in the relationship between the health status and life satisfaction of the elderly with disabilities. Second, it was verified that there is a moderating effect of social support in the relationship between the health status and depression of the elderly with disabilities. Third, the social support of the elderly with disabilities has been verified to moderate the indirect effect of health status on life satisfaction through depression. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that a support system should be established for the provision of care and healthcare services for the elderly with disabilities, alongside the implementation of programs that activate social support for psychological and emotional assistance. Additionally, it is recommended that there should be an improvement in long-term service accessibility and the establishment of a support system that enables integrated services within the living area.
