中文摘要 | 目的:過去研究指出台灣社區老人憂鬱症狀的盛行率相當高,依研究方法與定義之不同,從5.9%至57%不等,許多罹患憂鬱之老人必須長期尋求門診或住院治療,嚴重者最終甚至自殺,造成許多社會問題。目前幾乎未有針對桃竹苗地區老人憂鬱之研究,本研究目的為探討該地區65歲以上老人憂鬱症狀之相關因素。方法:本研究採用中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心之學術調查研究資料庫所釋出之內政部2002年臺閩地區老人狀況調查之資料,本研究以該資料庫中桃園縣、新竹縣、新竹市與苗栗縣四個區域65歲以上292位老人資料為分析資料。結果:多元迴歸分析指出,無宗教信仰、自覺健康狀況不佳、罹患慢性重大疾病、自覺生活費不夠及社會活動參與率低是老人憂鬱症狀的顯著相關因子。結論:本研究結果支持過去發現之低收入、身體病痛以及缺乏參與社會活動是老人憂鬱症狀的相關危險因子,本研究發現對於預防老人憂鬱的實務意涵一併於文中討論。 |
英文摘要 | Objective: Previous studies have indicated a fairly high prevalence of depressive symptoms among elderly people in Taiwan, ranging from 5.9% to 57% depending on the adopted research methods and definitions. Many depressed seniors visit clinics on a regular basis, some need to be hospitalized for treatment, and those with more serious depression may even commit suicide ultimately. It is therefore obvious that depression causes both health and social problems. However, there has been limited research investigating depression in older people in Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli regions in Taiwan. The present study accordingly aimed to explore the correlates of depressive symptoms in the elderly people aged over 65 years in these regions. Methods: The study used the data set from the survey on the conditions of senior citizens in Taiwan and Fukien provinces conducted by the Ministry of the Interior in 2002. The data set were released from the Survey Research Data Archive (SRDA) of the Research Center for Humanities and Social Science of Academia Sinica. The study focused on analyzing the data of 292 elderly citizens in Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli regions drawn from the SRDA data set. Results: Multiple regression analyses identified the following significant correlates of depressive symptoms in the elderly in Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli counties: absence of religious belief, poor self-rated physical conditions, severe chronic diseases, insufficient self-rated allowance for living expenses, and low participation in social activities. However, no significant correlate of depressive symptoms was found in the elerly residents in Hsinchu city. Conclusions: The results of this study are consistent with previous findings of risk factors of low income, physical illness, and lack of social activities for depressive symptoms in the elderly. The practical implications of the findings for the prevention of depression in the elderly are discussed. |
