Objectives : The current study examined the effects of demographic and psychological positive factors on subjective satisfaction with life in patients with depression.
Methods : A total of 253 patients (over score of 16 by Beck Depression Inventory-II ; BDI-II) were surveyed with Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), The Gratitude Questionnaire-Six Item Form (GQ-SIF), The State Hope Scale (SHS), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12), Purpose in Life Test Scale (PLTS), Functional Social Support Scale (FSSQ) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Correlation analysis, Independent t-test analysis, Mann-Whitney analysis, ANOVA, ANCOVA and multiple linear regression analysis were performed to identify the relationship between life satisfaction and variables of demographic and psychological positive factors.
Results : Among the demographic factors, age, marital status, occupation, income and religion are related with life satisfaction. Among the psychological positive factors, hope, life orientation, social support, and spirituality are significantly predictors for life satisfaction. After adjusting for BDI-II, however, life orientation, hope, social support were significant predictor for life satisfaction.
Conclusion : This findings suggest that positive psychological factors as well as demographic factors effect subjective life satisfaction. Life satisfaction is affected by depressed level, but the intervention improving ‘optimism’ and ‘state hope’ may be helpful for patients with depression.
