Abstract: Elderly are age
group that susceptible to depression. Depression in elderly is caused by lack
of ability to adapt to changes in self as result of physical, mental and social
decline. Severity of elderly depressive disorders are categorized into three
levels, namely no depression, mild depression and moderate/severe depression.
Family social support plays an important role in helping the elderly in
adapting to the changes that occur in order to reduce the level of depression.
This quantitative research with correlation approach aims to determine the
relationship between family social support with level of depression in elderly
in Sading Village. The samples cosisted of 233 elderly in Sading Village were
taken using simple random sampling technique. This study uses two scales of
measurement namely the family social support scale and the level of depression
scale (Geriatric Depression Scale) adapted from Yesavage et al. (in Azizah,
2011). Family social support scale consists of 33 items with the reliability
value = 0,968 and level of depression scale consists of 30 items with the
reliability value = 0,948. The analysis technique used in this study is the
Spearman Rank correlation. The analysis result showed that there was a significant
relationship between family social support with level of depression (p = 0,000,
p <0,05). The correlation r = -0.847 can be concluded that family social
support has a opposite direction relationship with level of depression. This
means that the higher family social support received, then the level of
depression in elderly in Sading Village would be lower.
