노년기 우울의 다중변화궤적에 관한 연구 = Multiple Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to identify the multiple trajectories of depressive symptoms and the characteristics of each trajectory group among the elderly. This study uses five waves of longitudinal data from the Korean Welfare Panel Study (KWPS, 2006-2010). Subjects were older adults aged 60 and over who had completed at least three waves between 2006 and 2010. A total of 4,181 respondents were analyzed. The latent growth mixture model and the multiple logistic regression model were mainly used for data analysis.
The major findings were as follows: After controlling for the variables of gender, age, education, marital status, self-assessed health, and poverty, this study identified four different trajectory classes: stable low depressive symptoms (71.8%), high but decreased depressive symptoms (10.6%), moderate but increased depressive symptoms (7.9%), and an increased, then a decreased pattern of depressive symptoms (9.7%). The characteristics of theses trajectories as compared to previous studies were a lower percentage of ‘stable low depressive symptoms’, no ‘persistently high depressive symptoms’, and higher level of depressive symptoms. Also, the elderly in the stable low trajectory group had better health status, higher self-esteem and a good relationship with family members, having longer working periods, and more living in non-poverty. In addition, chronic health problems, loss of spouse, and household income differentiated the increased and then decreased pattern from the low stable pattern. Also, age and public pension differentiated the moderated but increased pattern from the low stable pattern. Based on the findings of this study, the researchers suggested political and practical implications for reducing depressive symptoms in later life.

본 연구는 우리나라 노년기 우울변화의 다중궤적을 확인하고, 각 궤적집단의 특성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 한국복지패널 1차년도부터 5차년도(2006-2010) 자료를 활용하였으며, 만 60세 이상 4,181명의 자료를 분석하여 노인 우울의 다중궤적과 각 궤적집단의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 주요 분석방법으로는 잠재성장혼합모형과 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석 등이 사용되었다. 노년기 우울과 관련있는 여섯 가지 요인을 통제한 상태에서 노인 우울의 다중궤적을 분석한 결과, 감소형(10.6%), 증가후감소형(9.7%), 증가형(7.9%), 그리고 안정형(71.8%)의 네 가지 유형이 존재하는 것을 확인하였다. 우리나라 노인우울의 궤적집단을 결정하는 요인으로는 주관적 건강상태, 자아존중감, 가족관계만족, 경제활동기간, 그리고 빈곤기간은 안정형과 나머지 세 개의 우울궤적을 구분하는 공통요인으로 나타났다. 이밖에 만성질환, 배우자상실, 그리고 가구소득은 안정형과 증가후감소형을 구분하는 요인이었으며, 연령과 공적연금수급은 안정형과 증가형을 구분하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 노년기 우울을 예방하고 완화하기 위한 개입방안 제시하였다.
