Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between social support, activities of daily living (ADL), and depression among older Japanese and Koreans living in the U.S. Data were collected from 207 older Japanese and 210 older Koreans in various long-term care settings in Honolulu and Los Angeles. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated that social support was a significant factor of depressive symptoms in both groups and ADL was significantly associated with depressive symptoms among older Japanese. Based on our findings, we recommend means for social workers to address depression among older Japanese and Korean immigrants by improving social support and ADL.
