Abstract

Background: Depression is a mental disorder common worldwide. This study determined the relationships between demographics, health status, household parameters, and depression rates among working-age household heads.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study Survey conducted in 2020. The 11-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was used to assess depression. Bivariate analyses and a multiple logistic regression model were used to evaluate the influence of these factors on depression among household heads.

Results: The overall prevalence of depression among working-age household heads was 11.69% (19.83% of females and 9.58% of males). The relative risk of depression was 1.71 times higher among the unemployed than among wage earners and 2.18 times higher among those with low income than among those with general income. The relative risk of depression was 3.23 times higher in those with poor health status than in those with good health, and 2.45 times more in those with severe disabilities than in those without disabilities. The rate of depression decreased with education level, number of family members, and presence of children but increased with the presence of the disabled or elderly.

Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of depression among working-age household heads and identifies factors strongly associated with depression. These findings may have implications for policymakers to reduce the burden on and improve the quality of life of household heads.

韩国工作年龄户主抑郁的相关因素:一项跨部门住户研究。
背景介绍抑郁症是一种全球常见的精神疾病。本研究确定了工作年龄户主的人口统计学、健康状况、家庭参数和抑郁症发病率之间的关系:我们分析了 2020 年进行的韩国福利小组研究调查的数据。我们使用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表(Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale)的 11 个项目来评估抑郁症。采用二元分析和多元逻辑回归模型来评估这些因素对户主抑郁症的影响:劳动适龄户主的抑郁症总患病率为 11.69%(女性为 19.83%,男性为 9.58%)。失业者患抑郁症的相对风险是工薪族的 1.71 倍,低收入者是一般收入者的 2.18 倍。健康状况差的人患抑郁症的相对风险是健康状况好的人的 3.23 倍,严重残疾的人患抑郁症的相对风险是无残疾的人的 2.45 倍。抑郁症发病率随教育水平、家庭成员数量和有无子女而降低,但随有残疾人或老年人而升高:本研究全面概述了工作年龄户主的抑郁情况,并确定了与抑郁密切相关的因素。这些发现可能会对决策者减轻户主负担和提高其生活质量产生影响。
