This study aimed to determine the impact of being without a job post-retirement on mental health (depression, life satisfaction) and behaviors (alcohol and cigarette). A cross-sectional study was conducted on 330 Ethiopians aged 60–69. Compared to workers, retirees without a job reported higher depression, lower life satisfaction, and hazardous drinking (d = .49, .39 and φ = .65, respectively). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that being without a job post-retirement was associated with depression and life dissatisfaction. Thus, greater emphasis has to be given to improve the mental health and behaviors of retired elderly.

退休后工作影响亚的斯亚贝巴老年人的心理健康和行为

本研究旨在确定退休后失业对心理健康（抑郁、生活满意度）和行为（酒精和香烟）的影响。对 330 名 60-69 岁的埃塞俄比亚人进行了一项横断面研究。与工人相比，没有工作的退休人员的抑郁程度更高，生活满意度更低，并且危险饮酒（分别为d  = 0.49、0.39 和φ  = 0.65）。分层多元回归分析表明，退休后失业与抑郁和生活不满有关。因此，必须更加重视改善退休老年人的心理健康和行为。
