“…Regarding demographic factors, the following have been shown to increase depression among older adults: higher age, being male, lack of a spouse, unemployment, and a low economic and educational level [ 35 , 36 ]. In addition, psychological factors, such as decreased self-esteem due to reduced status and role in the family and society, are considered significant causes of depression among older adults [ 28 , 37 ]. Moreover, social isolation is related to depression, and a vicious circle of social isolation is exacerbated by symptoms of depression [ 38 ].…”

Background This study examined the effect of depression on suicidal ideation among older adults in South Korea. Furthermore, this study investigated how social support, as a factor that reduces depression among older adults, mediates the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation. Methods Based on a survey of 260 older adults in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, suicidal ideation, depression, and social support were evaluated using the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation, the Center of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Measurement of Social Support in the Elderly, respectively. Results A multiple regression analysis confirmed that depression and social support were significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Based on path analysis, we found that social support mediated the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation. Conclusions Therefore, this study provides concrete insights for policymakers and social workers about how suicidal ideation among older adults may be diminished. Particularly, the role of depression and social support in suicidal ideation is a matter of concern for older adults in South Korea.

For this purpose, data were collected from 400 baby boomers (born between 1955–1963) using the self-compassion, meaning in life, family support, and family relationship satisfaction scales. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used to analyze the double mediating effects.

Abstract. This study investigates how the daily stress received by the elderly people living alone impacts their satisfaction of life in rural and urban areas. Survey was conducted on elderly people living alone in the southern cities, K and C, of South Korea. Chi square test, t-test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis etc was conducted with the SPSS program with 5 percent level of significance. The results are as follows: First, analysis of the life satisfaction between rural and urban elderly living alone showed no significant difference in physical, material, social, emotional/production domains. Second, daily stress and life satisfaction of the elderly living alone was found to have negative correlation. In the case of urban dwellers, life satisfaction was deteriorated by stresses related to economic problems and social concerns. In the case of rural dwellers, life satisfaction deteriorated by stresses related to interpersonal relationships and economic problems. The findings in this study will provide an empirical basis for developing policies to tackle stress issues and life satisfaction for urban and rural elderly living alone.
