| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of self esteem and depression, and to identify the factors and their magnitudes influencing them in order to understand the current status of mental health of public rental housing residents in Seoul. For the research method, the 2019 Seoul Public Rental Housing Residents Panel Survey data conducted by SH was used. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis were used. The results are as follows. First, the resident’s self esteem was in the ‘normal group’ range, and the depression in the ‘risk group’ range. Second, there is a negative correlation between self esteem and depression. Third, factors affecting the mental health of residents are identified as comprehensive and broad, such as population and housing related variables, economic and social variables, and psychological and physical variables. Fourth, focusing on the size of factors affecting the mental health of residents, self esteem was found to be affected in the order of ‘health status’, ‘neighbor relationships’ and ‘stress level’. And depression was also affected the most by ‘health status’, followed by ‘stress level’ and ‘economic activity’. Fifth, when considering the factors affecting mental health, the mental health of permanent public rental housing residents will be particularly weak among rental housing types. |
