研究结果显示老年忧郁量表之得分会因是否罹患慢性病及住进机构之主要原因之不同而有显著差异。整体社会支持会因基本属性之性别、婚姻状况、有无宗教信仰、有无子女、住机构前主要居住安排、住进机构之主要原因以及住进机构费用的主要缴纳者之不同而有显著差异。孤寂感量表之得分，则会因有无宗教信仰及过去有无职业之不同而有显著差异。

The results indicated that there were significant differences in scores of Geriatric Depression Scale between different groups of having chronic illness or not and between different groups of institutionalized reasons. There were significant differences in general social support between different groups of gender, marital status, having religious believes or not, having children or not, living arrangement before institutionalization, institutionalized reasons, and the fee payers. In addition, there were significant differences in scores of Loneliness Scale between different groups of having religion believes or not and previous occupational status.

此外，相关性分析结果显示，忧郁状态与孤寂感呈现显著正相关，亲戚支持、朋友支持与社会支持满意度均和忧郁状态呈现显著负相关。孤寂感与整体社会支持、子女支持、亲戚支持、朋友支持、院友支持、情绪支持、社会整合、信息支持、实质支持以及社会支持满意度均呈现显著负相关。

Depression was positively correlated with loneliness. Besides, the results of Spearman rank-order correlation analysis showed that relatives’ support, friends’ support, and satisfaction of social support were all negatively correlated with depression. Loneliness was negatively correlated with general social support, children’s support, relatives’ support, friends’ support, residents’ support, emotional support, social integration, informational support, tangible support, and social support satisfaction.

经由逻辑回归分析，发现孤寂感与有无罹患慢性病可预测长期照护机构老人之忧郁状态。经由逐步复回归分析，发现孤寂感最主要的预测变项为忧郁状态、院友支持及子女支持，共可解释48.5%之变异量。
