This study was conducted to investigate the effects of spousal support and menopausal symptoms on the depression of middle-aged women.
The data had been collected from September 25th, 2006 to October 14th, 2006 through self-reported questionnaires. The subjects for this study were 342 married women aged from 40 to 65 living in D city.
The instruments used for this study were CES-D(Radloff, 1977), the spousal support inventory(Lee, 2002) and menopausal symptom checklist(Shin, 1999).
The collected data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 12.0 program using frequency, mean, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Stepwise Multiple Regression.
The results of this study were as follows:
1. The mean depression score was 12.91(range 0-60), 36.5% women were suffer from mild or severe depression. The percentage of normal, moderate, severe depression were 63.5%, 25.7%, 10.8%.
2. The mean spousal support score was 20.58(range 0-36).
3. The mean score of menopausal symptom was 4.73(range 0-23). 76(71%) middle-aged women complained less than 5 symptoms, while 25(23.5%) middle-aged women complained 6 to 10 symptoms. Meanwhile 6(5.6%) middle-aged women complained over 11 symptoms.
4. Significant differences were found in spousal support(F=13.12, p=.000) and menopausal symptoms(F=28.37, p=.000) between normal, moderate and severe depression group.
5. Significant negative correlation noted between middle-aged women's depression and spousal support(r=-.261, p=.000). And significant positive correlation noted between middle-aged women's depression and menopausal symptom(r=.376, p=.002).
6. 22.8% of middle-aged women's depression were explained by menopausal symptom(16.4%) and spousal support(6.4%).
7. Statistically significant difference were noted between middle-aged women's depression and education level(F=4.31, p=.061), education level of spouse(F=3.99, p=.021).
8. Statistically significant difference was noted between middle-aged women's spousal support and education level(F=10.43, p=.000), education level of spouse(F=6.77, p=.001), marital satisfaction(F=41.38, p=.000), hobby(F=4.40, p=.000), and menopausal state(F=4.36, p=.002).
From the above results, it suggests that the menopausal symptom and spousal support of middle-aged women are the major variables which affect the depression of middle-aged women.
