Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the link that affects depression, a negative mental health problem for permanent rented apartment tenants, and to provide policy and practical support for reducing depression at the community level. To this end, 1,920 households of permanent rental apartment residents in K Metropolitan City were used in the survey. The results are as follows. First, more than half of the subjects surveyed 51.1% were found to have depressive symptoms. Second, among the demographic variables, the gender, age, single-person households, and social security benefits have a positive effect on depression. On the other hand, age squared and participation in economic activities were identified as factors to reduce depression. Third, among the residential community variables, the consideration for neighbors and their willingness to participate in the community were identified as factors to reduce depression. Fourth, physical health difficulties and mental health difficulties among the health status variables were identified as the determinants of depression. Based on the results of the study, the methods for intervention and follow-up studies to reduce depression in permanent rental apartment residents were discussed.

본 연구에서는 영구임대아파트 입주자의 부정적인 정신건강상의 문제인 우울에 영향을 미치는 연결고리를 파악하고, 지역사회의 차원에서 우울감 감소를 위한 정책적·실천적 지원방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 K광역시 영구임대아파트 입주자 1,920세대를 대상으로 실시한 설문분석 결과를 사용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 조사 대상자의 절반이 넘는 51.1%가 우울 증상이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인은 인구사회학적 변인 중 가구주 성별, 연령, 일인가구, 사회보장급여 수급이 우울에 정적 영향을 미치며, 연령제곱과 경제활동 참여는 우울에 부적 영향을 미치는 요인으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 지역사회공동체 변인 중에는 이웃에 대한 생각과 이웃참여의사가 우울에 부적 영향을 미치는 요인으로 확인되었다. 넷째, 건강상태 변인 중 신체적 건강 어려움과 정신적 건강 어려움이 우울에 정적 영향요인으로 확인되었다. 이상의 분석결과를 토대로 영구임대아파트 입주자의 우울감 감소를 위한 개입과 후속연구에 대한 방안들을 논의하였다.
