Este estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer la relación entre religiosidad y depresión en adultos mayores residentes de albergues en Lima Metropolitana. La muestra estuvo constituida por 150 adultos mayores, 88 mujeres y 62 hombres, con edades entre 65 a 90 años (promedio de 77,84 años) de Perú. Los participantes fueron evaluados con la Age Universal I-E 12 (Simkim & Etchezahar, 2013) y la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica (GDS-15) (Gómez-Angulo & Campo-Arias, 2011). Los resultados mostraron que el factor de Orientación Social de la variable Religiosidad presentó una correlación débil y significativa con la variable Depresión, mientras que el factor de Orientación Personal no mostró una correlación con la Depresión; rechazando así la hipótesis planteada. Asimismo, se obtiene resultados de las correlaciones entre las variables según las variables sociodemográficas. Se discuten las implicancias y sugerencias para futuras investigaciones.This study aimed to determine the relationship between religiosity and depression of senior citizens living in retirement homes in the Lima Metropolitan area – Peru. The sample was composed of 150 informants: 88 women and 62 men, whose ages ranged between 65 and 90 with an average of 77.84. Two instruments were applied: Age Universal I-E 12 (Simkim & Etchezahar, 2013) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) (Gómez-Angulo & Campo-Arias, 2011). Results revealed that the social orientation of religiosity has a weak but significant correlation with depression whereas the personal orientation showed no correlation with depression. Based on these data, the hypothesis is discarded. In addition, results of correlations among variables regarding sociodemographic record were obtained. Finally, implications and suggestions for future research were discussed.
