Research was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of PST for the depression of Korean Elderly. The program and manual for korean elderly was developed based on PST procedures for depression as outlined by Nezu and D’Zurilla(2007). For the purpose, 150 old people over 65 who resided in chunchun were randomly selected. and screened with PHQ-9. 42 elderly who had depression symptom at middle level, were chosen for study and randomly assigned into experimental group(n=23) and control group(n=19). PST is a six session, manual-based conducted over an 6-week period by trained interviewers in the elderly’s home. As a results, CES-D and KGDS of the experimental group have been significantly decreased and total SPSI-R has been significantly increased between pre-and post measures while no statically significant change was found in control group. This results suggest that problem-solving therapy program might decrease the depression and enhance the problem solving ability of the elderly and that PST can be suitable to home visit program with social work perspectives.
