社会支持和复原力被认为是晚年抑郁的两个重要影响因素。本研究旨在提出一个中介模型，以了解社会支持、韧性和老年抑郁症之间的相互关系。本研究对162名居住在新加坡社区的华裔老年人进行了横断面调查研究。研究结果表明，通过控制人口统计变量，社会支持通过弹性的中介作用对老年抑郁症有显著的间接影响。此外，在两个个体模型中，问题解决弹性和情绪调节弹性之间的影响模式是相同的，这表明在社会支持和老年抑郁之间具有类似的中介作用。这些结果扩展和整合了早期关于心理社会因素与老年抑郁症关系的研究结果，并指出了对未来抑郁症干预工作的实际意义。(C)2015爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Social support and resilience were considered to be two significant influential factors for depression in late life. The study aims to present a mediation model for understanding the interrelations among social support, resilience, and geriatric depression. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 162 community-dwelling Chinese older adults in Singapore. Findings indicated a significant indirect effect of social support on geriatric depression through the mediation of resilience, by controlling demographic variables. Further, an identical influencing pattern between problem-solving resilience and emotion regulation resilience were found in the two individual models, suggesting a similar mediation role in linking social support and geriatric depression. These results extended and integrated earlier findings on the relationship of psychosocial factors and geriatric depression, and pointed out practical implications for future work on depression interventions.
