Frequency and Related Factors of Depressive Symptoms Among Elders Who Live in a Residential Home in Istanbul
Öz: Objective:The elderly population, defined as ≥65 years old, is increasing with time in society. Depressive symptoms in old age lead to worseningof physical and cognitive abilities. This study investigated the prevalence of depressive symptoms in elderly people living in a residential home inIstanbul and factors affecting this indication.Methods:The study was conducted in a descriptive and cross-sectional manner. The questionnaire, which included sociodemographic questionsand inquiries on factors affecting depression, Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form-15 (GDS-15), and Mini-Mental test, was administered to 77elderly people.Results:Twenty-nine of the participants were females and 48 were males, with a mean age of 75.9 ± 8.2 years. The mean GDS-15 score of the elderlywas 4.04 ± 3.42. Concerns regarding leaving the residential home, low telephone call frequency, persistent physical illness, and inability to completeself-care activities were significantly associated with depressive symptoms.Conclusion:Depressive symptoms are common in the elderly living in residential homes. This occurrence is closely related to social support andhealth status. Further studies are warranted to determine if factors associated with such symptoms are risk factors for depression.
