초록

이 연구는 양적인 증가 및 사회적으로 중요도가 높은 1인가구 노인의 성별에 따른 우울 영향요인을 비동거자녀 지원에 초점을 두어 살펴보았다. 2014년 노인실태조사자료의 65세 이상 1인가구 노인 2,354명(남자 407명, 여자 1,947명)을 대상으로 성별로 사회인구학적 특성, 건강수준 및 행태, 친인척 및 친구관계, 여가 및 사회활동, 비동거자녀 지원 및 지원유형에 따른 우울 분포와 우울에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인을 비교분석하였다. 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 1인가구 남성노인은 도구적일상생활수행능력, 주관적건강상태, 친구 수, 여성노인은 주관적건강상태, 친구 수, 현재 일하는 여부, 만성질환수, 비동거자녀의 정서적 지원 등이 우울에 영향을 미쳤다. 특히 비동거자녀의 정서적 지원은 1인가구 남녀노인의 우울에 차이를 보이는 주요 요인으로 향후 1인가구 노인의 차별화된 정신건강증진 방안 마련 시 고려되어야 한다.

This study examined if support from separated children as a factor of depression was distinguishable between male and female elderly individuals living in one-person households. This study analyzed data of 2,354 elderly individuals living in one-person households(407 males and 1,947 females) who were 65 years of age or older using data from the 2014 National Elderly Survey on Living Conditions and Need for Welfare. Employing logistic regression, IADL, self-rated health, and, friends were important for male elderly individuals living in one-person households, while self-rated health, friends, employment, chronic diseases, and emotional support from separated children were noticeable for female elderly individuals living in one-person households. To better understand the mental health needs by gender of elderly individuals living in one-person households, their differences in emotional support from separated children, should be considered.
