주거빈곤이 노인의 우울감에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study was intended to determine the effect of family relationship satisfaction and disability between housing poverty and depression in the elderly, and to explore proper intervention for the elderly with or without disability. For that, we figured out the extent of housing poverty and depression in the elderly and conducted the moderated moderation analysis to determine whether the family relationship satisfaction would moderate the effect of housing poverty on depression in the elderly, and whether the disability would re-moderate the effect of family relationship satisfaction’s moderating effect. Major results of this study were as follows. First, housing poverty was found to have a significant static(+) effect on depression in the elderly. Second, family relationship satisfaction was found to moderate the static(+) effect of housing poverty on depression in elderly as an amulet(-). Third, the presence or absence of disability was found to re-moderate the family relationship satisfaction’s moderating effect as a static(+). This means that family relationship satisfaction is a strong protection resource for the elderly without disabilities, but does not function as a protection resource for the elderly with disabilities.
