Methods : 258 5th and 6th grade elementary school students in Taegu, and their parents were asked to complete self-repot questionnaires including the children´s depression Inventory (CDI) and the Beck´s depression Inventory (BDI) . Correlation analysis, T-test, One-way ANOVA were used for the statistical analysis and the statistically significant level is p<0.05.
Results : 1) CDI mean for total children is 13.5 ± 6.77, BDI mean for their mother is 13.3 ± 7.25, and BDI mean for their father is 11.6±7.03. 2) There are significant differences in CDI for children variables related to sex, health, school achievement, economic status. 3) Mother´s health slightly affect children´s depression, but there are no significant differences in CDI for parents´ education, religion, father´s health. 4) Children´s school achievement and economic status among variables related to children affect mother´s BDI scores and children´s school achievement affect father´s BDI scores. 5) For CDI item analysis, there are significant differences in 10 items for children´s sex, in 8 items for health, and in 6 items for economic status. Especially, there are significant differences in 20 items among 27 items for children´s school achievement. 6) There is significant correlation between parents´ BDI scores and children´s CDI scores, and especially high correlation to mother for both boys and girls.
Conclusion : Children´s depression are significantly affected by children´s sex, health, school achievement, economic status. And especially school achievement affect grossly children´s depression and their mother´s depression, so we know that children and their mother have much burden about school achievement. There is high correlation between children´s depression and parents´ (especially mother) depression. Therefore, these result imply that in the therapy for children´s depression, we must include not only children´s problems but also parents´ depression and parent-children relationship.
