This study aims to perform factors affecting surrounding help, physical condition and confidence in depression patients. The subjects of the study conducted a survey of 74 people diagnosed with depression in an outpatient clinic in two general hospitals in the chungnam area from May 13 to July 10, 2024. The subjects' surrounding help, physical condition, and confidence were analyzed by the t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffe's test. The correlation between the subject's surrounding help, physical condition and confidence were analyzed by the Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of this study are as follows. Firstly, the average physical condition was 5.46 points, and the average confidence was 32.71 points. Secondly, there was a significant difference in the subject's peripheral help according to age among the general characteristics(F=2.798, p=.035). Thirdly, confidence differed significantly according to age(F=6.395, p=.002) and religion type(F=3.428, p=.036) among general characteristics. Fourthly, there was a positive correlation between the subject's surrounding help and physical condition(r=.375, p<.002). In conclusion, it is necessary to develop a family intervention program that reflects socio-cultural characteristics. In order to improve patients' confidence, intervention measures are needed to increase their physical condition and help around them.
