“…It has been long recognized that the level of trust and ease of access that home care staff have with older adults in their services provides the optimal opportunity to perform a useful screening and surveillance service (Madeley & Wattis, 1994). However, similar to primary care settings, recognizing depressive symptoms on entry to home care services may be particularly challenging because of time constraints and the focus on disability and physiological health rather than psychological well-being (Brown et al, 2004).…”

Older adults requiring home care service have a high risk of depression. Instruments for detecting depression among older adults, however, are often too long and detailed for easy administration by nontrained staff in large service-based settings.This study examined the measurement properties (test—retest reliability, concurrent validity, and cross-modality correspondence) of a single-item screener for depressive symptoms among older adults receiving home care services. Reliability was assessed (n = 65) by administering the single-item depression screener to the same participants on two occasions 7 days apart. Validity was assessed (n = 191) by comparing depressed participants from the single-item depression screener versus Geriatric Depression Scale (criterion measure). Responses to the single-item depression screener administered by telephone and face-to-face interview were also compared. Findings suggest that the single-item depression screener has fair levels of reliability, validity, and cross-modality correspondence and could be used among home care recipients as a screening tool, provided that depression status is confirmed via in-depth questionnaires, interviews, or a clinical diagnosis.

“…The results of previous studies indicate that assessment needs to be carried out on the present caseload of home care services as well as on new referrals (Banerjee, 1993). The level of trust and the ease of access which home care sta have suggests that, with appropriate training and tools, they could perform a useful screening and surveillance service (Madeley and Wattis, 1994).…”

“…A number of model curricula for the geriatric psychiatry undergraduate curriculum have been proposed. A summary of these curricula, adapted from the geriatric psychiatry undergraduate curricula proposed by Arie (1985), Madeley and Wattis (1994) and Marin et al (1988), represents a Model Training Curriculum in Geriatric Psychiatry for medical students and is outlined below.…”

A series of telephone interviews were conducted to assess geriatric psychiatry content at each of Canada's 16 medical schools. Nearly all schools included geriatric psychiatry content and most of the teaching took place in the pre-clerkship. Geriatric psychiatrists are teaching and participating in the planning of the curriculum at most medical schools and most of the clinical experiences in geriatric psychiatry are occurring with inpatients. In order to enhance the teaching of geriatric psychiatry Canadian medical schools should increase the amount of ambulatory and community-based teaching, integrate more geriatric psychiatry teaching with geriatric medicine and increase the profile of geriatric psychiatry within the psychiatry clerkship rotation.
