Abstract

Chronic disease often causes depression in the elderly, especially for women. Elderly need family support to deal with the depression. This study was aimed to analyze whether there was a correlation between family support, gender, and depression levels in the elderly. Utilizing the DASS-21, the family support assessment, and questions about characteristic of respondent, data was obtained which were then analyzed using the Spearman method, with confidence level was 95%. The Spearman’s analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of -0.026, and a Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.817 between depression and family support. Likewise, the correlation coefficient was 0.070, and Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.537 between depression and gender. It can be concluded that there was a weak correlation between the three variables, but it was not statistically significant. Further study is needed to analyze the influence of confounding factors as a predictor model of depression levels in the elderly.
