Abstract
Abstract Aims To determine prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated factors in geriatric inpatient rehabilitation. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 118 older adult inpatients ≥ 65 years using the Geriatric Depression Scale to assess depressive symptoms. Results Average age of participants was 78.9 years old. Depressive symptoms were found in 46.6% of study participants. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to confirm the association between presence of depressive symptoms and each factor. Malnutrition was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (OR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.87–0.96, p < 0.001). Similar results were obtained in model 1 (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.87–0.95, p < 0.001) with the addition of age and gender confounders and in model 2 with additional adjustment for underlying disease, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) exercise items, and FIM cognitive items (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.88–0.96, p < 0.001). Conclusions Prevalence of depressive symptoms is high in geriatric rehabilitation patients and is associated with malnutrition.
期刊介绍:
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
