Background: Depression is considered to be one of the most common emotional problems among elderly individuals. The aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and predictors of depression among the elderly residing in residential homes in Delta District (Dakahlia, Damietta and El-Gharbia governorates). Subjects and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study included the 110 institutionalized elderly in all residential homes in Delta District. Data collection tools included a structured interview questionnaire for personal data, Geriatric Depression Scale short form (GDS-15), Berlin Social Support Scale (BSSS) and Katz and Akpom Activity of daily living scale (ADL). Results: The findings of the study indicate that the prevalence of depression in the study population (n=110) was 60 %, of whom 19.1 % had severe depression. Prevalence of depression was found to be significantly higher among those with impairment in ADL (P≤ 0.000), socially isolated (P≤ 0.000), loneliness (P≤ 0.000), lack of support system, dissatisfied with ageing process (P≤ 0.000) and not practicing religious activity regularly (P≤ 0.000). Loneliness and insomnia were statistically significant independent positive predictors of depressive symptoms scores while accepting ageing process and practicing religious activities were negative predictors of depressive symptoms scores. Conclusions: The findings suggest that depression is highly prevalent among the institutionalized elderly. In addition loneliness, impairment in ADL, lack of social interaction and support system, dissatisfaction with ageing process, lack of social and spiritual activities are associated with experience of depression among the elderly residing in residential
背景:抑郁症被认为是老年人最常见的情绪问题之一。研究目的:本研究的目的是评估三角洲地区(Dakahlia, Damietta和El-Gharbia省)居住在住宅中的老年人抑郁症的患病率和预测因素。研究对象与方法:采用横断面描述性研究，选取珠三角地区所有养老院的110名机构老人。数据收集工具包括个人数据结构化访谈问卷、老年抑郁量表简表(GDS-15)、柏林社会支持量表(BSSS)和Katz and Akpom日常生活活动量表(ADL)。结果:研究结果显示，研究人群(n=110)抑郁症患病率为60%，其中重度抑郁症占19.1%。生活自理能力受损(P≤0.000)、社会孤立(P≤0.000)、孤独感(P≤0.000)、缺乏支持系统、对衰老过程不满意(P≤0.000)和不定期参加宗教活动(P≤0.000)者的抑郁患病率明显较高。孤独和失眠是抑郁症状评分的独立正预测因子，而接受衰老过程和参加宗教活动是抑郁症状评分的负预测因子。结论:研究结果表明，在机构老年人中，抑郁症非常普遍。此外，孤独感、生活自理能力受损、缺乏社会互动和支持系统、对老龄化过程不满、缺乏社会和精神活动与居住在住宅中的老年人的抑郁经历有关

Introduction: Tic is a sudden, repetitive, nonrhythmic motor movement or vocalization including a separated group of muscles. Aim: Assess the validity and reliability of Arabic version of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). Methods: Methodological design was utilized to investigate Content Validity Index (CVI) reported by nine experts. Intra-class correlation coefficient ICC (Interrater and Intrarater Agreement) and Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients were addressed to investigate reliability. Results: CVI of clarity and relevance for each item ranged from 0.67 to 1. Predominance score of clarity and relevance was = 0.89 for most of items. Total CVI= 0.88. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the Total Motor Tic Score =0.84, Total Vocal Tic Score =0.91, and Total Tic Score =0.80. ICC (Interrater agreement) of YGTSS regarding; motor tics, vocal tics, impairment and total severity score were (r= 0.72, 0.98, 0.88, and 0.97 respectively). ICC (Intra-rater agreement) of YGTSS regarding; motor tics, vocal tics, impairment and total severity score were = 0.96, 0.97, 1, and 0.96; respectively. Conclusion: The current Arabic Version is highly valid and reliable. Implications for Practice: Use of current Arabic version of YGTSS to assess severity of tics.
