OLIVEIRA, Daiane Santos de et al. Evaluation of Psychological Well-Being and Depressive Symptoms in Healthy Elderly People. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp. 187-204. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.50796.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between psychological well-being and depressive symptoms in healthy elderly people. The instruments used were: sociodemographic data questionnaire, EDEP and BDI-II. The data were analyzed in the SPSS using mean and SD, and Spearman correlations. The sample consisted of 64 elderly, with a mean age of 69.61 years (SD=7.58) and a mean educational level of 4.59 years (SD=2.61). The results indicate an inverse, moderate and significant correlation between depressive symptomatology and the domains: autonomy, environment, and positive relationships with others. There was also an inverse and weak correlation between depressive symptomatology and personal growth domain. It is believed that education level can be a protective factor for depression and psychological well-being in aging. Finally, the hypothesis is that there is a feedback cycle between the significantly correlated variables in this study.
