Description
Introduction: Depression is a condition that can cause elderly people to
experience mental or emotional disorders due to stress and loneliness.
Stress is something that can disturb the elderly caused by anxiety and
loneliness due to changes in roles in the family or in their lives. The
purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between stress
and loneliness with depression in elderly people in Banjar Kawan,
Tampaksiring, Bali.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with 68 elderlies
recruited as respondents based on inclusion criteria by using purposive
sampling techniques. The instruments used included the Perceived Stress
Scale (PSS-10), UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, and Geriatric Depression
Scale (GDS). The results of this study showed that most of the respondents
aged 64 years, female, last education was elementary school, marital status
was married with an income of < IDR 500,000.
Results: The correlation results showed a significantly weak positive
correlation between stress and depression (r = 0.284, p = 0.019) and
loneliness with depression (r = 0.254, p = 0.037). The results of multiple
linear regression showed that stress (β = 0.266) has the most effect on the
occurrence of depression compared to loneliness (β = 0.039) so the higher
the stress felt, the higher the symptoms of depression in the elderly.
Conclusion: It is hoped that the elderly could improve their health by
actively participating in many activities in order to prevent the symptoms
of depression from getting worse.
