ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explain the influence of depression on the life satisfaction of the elderly with hypertension. Also, we were focusing whether there is a mediating effect of subjective health status between depression and life satisfaction of the elderly with hypertension. 2,198 persons with hypertension over 65 years of age were selected from the data of KLoSA(Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing), administered by The Korea Employment Information Service in 2014. Life satisfaction was measured by 10-Likert. The depression measured by CES-D10. The mediating variable is subjective health status measured by 5-Likert. As the method of analysis, the multiple regressions were used with SPSS 19.0. The result of the study shows that depression has a negative influence on life satisfaction and a negative influence on subjective health status. It was also verified that the subjective health status variable has a mediating effect between depression and life satisfaction. These results present the importance of psychological approach for the health promotion experts intervening with the elderly with hypertension.
