배우자 부양자의 심리적 요인이 부양부담과 우울에 미치는 영향 = The Effect of Psychological Factors on Caregiver Burden and Depression of Spousal Caregivers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of psychological factors on caregiver burden and depression among Korean spousal caregivers. 142 spousal caregivers (89 wives, 52 husbands) in Seoul and Incheon City were surveyed to determine the influence of objective factors of the care recipient, demographic of the caregiver, personality dimensions of extroversion and neuroticism of caregiver, social support, and pre-caregiving marital satisfaction on caregiver burden and depression of spousal caregivers. Hierarchical regression was used to determine the influence of the various factors on caregiver burden and depression. Finding suggest that care recipient’s activities of daily living(ADL) and caregiver neuroticism predicted caregiver burden, whereas pre-caregiving martial satisfaction and caregiver neuroticism predicted depression. In particular, psychological factors were better predictors of caregiver burden and depression compared with objective factors. Based on the results, the implications, interventions, limitations and future directions for research were discussed about the psychological factors on spousal caregiving.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 고령화 사회에서 점점 증가하고 있는 배우자 부양자의 부양부담과 우울에 미치는 부양자의 심리적 요인의 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 서울과 인천에 거주하고 있고 50세 이상의 배우자 부양자 142명(여자 89명, 남자 52명)을 대상으로 피부양자의 객관적인 요인, 부양자의 인구학적인 요인, 그리고 심리적 요인으로 부양자의 외향성, 신경증적 성향, 부양 전 부부관계 만족, 사회적 지지가 부양부담과 부양자 우울에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 설문을 실시하였다. 부양부담과 우울에 대한 변인들의 영향력 검증을 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 부양부담에는 피부양자의 일상생활활동수준과 신경증적 성향이, 우울에는 부양자의 신경증적 성향과 부양 전 부부관계 만족이 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 피부양자의 객관적 요인이나 부양자의 인구학적 요인에 비해 부양자의 심리적 요인이 부양부담과 우울을 더 잘 예측함을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 부양자의 심리적 요인이 부양경험에 미치는 영향에 대해 논의했으며, 마지막으로 배우자 부양부담 완화를 위한 제언, 연구의 제한점, 그리고 미래 연구 방향에 대해 제안하였다.
