- Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the mutual reciprocal relationship between elders’ ego integrity and depression including physical and psycho-social predictors of both variables. The study also investigated the significant predictors of elders’ ego integrity and depression. Methods: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 137 elders. Results: Perceived health status, self-esteem, family interaction, and depression were significant predictors of ego integrity, whereas pain, self-esteem, and ego integrity were significant factors of depression. The results also showed that ego integrity and depression had reciprocal relationship with each other. Conclusion: Psycho-social factors might be more important to improve ego integrity and to alleviate depression in elderly subjects than physical factors.
