The aim of this study was to find the relative factor between social support and mental health of elderly people living in the Hanshin urban area. Using a self-rated questionnaire under informed consent, we tried to clarify the types of social support for elderly people and the relationship between social support and life development or mental health at the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake.
477 (male: 146, female 331) people responded. Those who had support from their family, friends and/or neighbors showed a better mental score, but the group receiving 10% or less social support tended to suffer from depression more frequently.
本研究旨在找出阪神市区老年人社会支持与心理健康之间的相关因素。在获得知情同意的情况下，我们使用自评问卷，试图阐明老年人的社会支持类型以及阪神大地震发生时社会支持与生活发展或心理健康之间的关系。
477人（男性146人，女性331人）做出了回应。那些得到家人、朋友和/或邻居支持的人心理健康得分更高，但社会支持率在10%及以下的人群更容易患抑郁症。
