Abstract: (1010 Views)
Depression occurs among the elderly, leading to increased use of medical facilities, adversely affecting quality of life (QoL), and increasing mortality. Fewer studies have been conducted to explore the factors that contribute to depression among the elderly. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that trigger depression in this population. This research used descriptive analysis with a cross-sectional design. A total of 247 participants completed a questionnaire containing socio-demographic information and the geriatric depression scale-15 (GDS-15). The data were analyzed for correlation using the chi-square test. There was a significant relationship between insurance and occupation and depression in rural communities in Central Java, Indonesia. Insurance and occupation influence elderly individuals’ preparation for old age, ensuring they have sufficient finances through old age savings, which enables them to be financially secure. The population needs to prepare for old age by calculating their retirement fund requirements, saving and investing, and obtaining insurance for pension and health fund protection.
