초록

There has been limited research on the association between elder abuse and depression, as well as elder abuse and suicidal ideation concurrently. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate this association using the dataset from a nationally representative elderly sample in Korea. This study analyzed the dataset from the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans. Elderly participants (aged over 65 years, n=9920) were included. Multivariate regression analysis was utilized to explore the risk factors associated with depression and suicidal ideation in the context of elder abuse. In this study, 5.1% of the elderly reported having elder abuse in the past year, while 12.8% and 1.9% reported having depression and suicidal ideation, respectively. In addition, among the elderly with depression, 8.4% had experienced elder abuse, while among those reporting suicidal ideation, 17.6% had suffered from elder abuse. Multiple logistic regression revealed that elder abuse is independently associated with both depression [odds ratio (OR) for elder abuse=1.642] and suicidal ideation (OR for elder abuse=3.237). Besides elder abuse, poor subjective health status and poor social support were linked to higher risk of depression and suicidal ideation. Our findings revealed that elder abuse represented a substantial risk factor associated with both depression and suicidal ideation. Implementing preventive interventions to address these risk factors could have significant implications for public mental health.

Abstract

There has been limited research on the association between elder abuse and depression, as well as elder abuse and suicidal ideation concurrently. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate this association using the dataset from a nationally representative elderly sample in Korea. This study analyzed the dataset from the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans. Elderly participants (aged over 65 years, n=9920) were included. Multivariate regression analysis was utilized to explore the risk factors associated with depression and suicidal ideation in the context of elder abuse. In this study, 5.1% of the elderly reported having elder abuse in the past year, while 12.8% and 1.9% reported having depression and suicidal ideation, respectively. In addition, among the elderly with depression, 8.4% had experienced elder abuse, while among those reporting suicidal ideation, 17.6% had suffered from elder abuse. Multiple logistic regression revealed that elder abuse is independently associated with both depression [odds ratio (OR) for elder abuse=1.642] and suicidal ideation (OR for elder abuse=3.237). Besides elder abuse, poor subjective health status and poor social support were linked to higher risk of depression and suicidal ideation. Our findings revealed that elder abuse represented a substantial risk factor associated with both depression and suicidal ideation. Implementing preventive interventions to address these risk factors could have significant implications for public mental health.
