“…Surprisingly, this study showed that community‐residing elderly people experienced more depression than those who were in nursing homes. It was different from the previously reported high prevalence of depression in nursing homes (Rovner 1986, Gorey & Cryns 1991, Grayson et al . 1995, Jongenelis et al .…”

The purposes of this study were: (i) to compare the extent of depression in the nursing home and community-dwelling elderly people, and (ii) to find the variables including residential status and other related variables explaining depression in Korea. Two sets of secondary data were combined and used to achieve the objectives of this study. One data set relating to elderly people in nursing homes was from a part of 2002 Kyunggi Long-term Care System Construction Study by Kyunggi Research Institute, Kyunggi province, Korea. The other data set for community-dwelling elderly people was from a part of 2001 National Long-term Care Study by Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs. The data set for this study included 307 elderly people living in nursing homes and 166 elderly people living in the community. Depression was measured and determined using the geriatric depression scale-short form (GDS-SF) Korean version, with scores of 8 or higher to indicate possible depression. A total of 39.3%[95% confidence interval (CI); 32.1-46.9%] of the sample in the community elderly showed symptoms of depression, higher than the rate found in the nursing home elderly (24.0%) (95% CI; 19.5-29.2%). The mean (standard deviation) GDS-SF score for the elderly in the nursing home was 6.1 (3.4), and 7.4 (4.3) for elderly in the community, the difference being statistically significant [t (275.5) = -3.33; P < 001]. As a result of multiple logistic regression analysis, residential status has appeared as an important predictor after controlling other related variables. The adjusted odds ratio of depression associated with the nursing home residents in residential status, all other factors being equal, was 3.14 (95% CI; 1.30-7.58). Community-dwelling elderly people have higher odds of depression. These findings suggest that there is a need to provide adequate health-related care services for the elderly people in the community.

“…As well as cultural differences in the rate of occurrence, the prevalence of depression also differs within specific residential settings. Many studies suggest that elderly people in nursing homes are more likely to experience depression than community‐dwelling elders (Rovner 1986, Gorey & Cryns 1991, Grayson et al . 1995, Ron 2004).…”

“…For example, depression is the psychiatric disorder most likely to be observed in the elderly (Hale 1982;Gorey and Cryns 1991), though the incidence of depression in this population is no different, and may be lower, than among any other age group (Salzman and Shader 1978;Himmelhoch et al 1982;Myers et al 1984;Blazer et al 1987;Rapp and Davis 1989). Other studies report prevalence estimates for depression or dysphoria ranging from 5 -25% for community-dwelling elderly (Lehmann 1982;Charatan 1985;Perse et al 1986).…”

“…Depressive symptoms are the most widely measured outcome and generally respond well, except when compared with pharmacotherapy for severe depression [14]. One study of 59 older adult nursing home residents in task-and insight-oriented groups looked at a variety of self-reported outcome measures, including life satisfaction, sense of control, active coping, and striving for social approval.…”

Group therapy in older adults

Group therapy is a well-established therapeutic modality for older individuals often conducted in combination with individual psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Group leaders must be aware of age-specific factors when working with older cohorts, including the presence of cognitive impairment, physical disability, and loss of independence. A limited number of outcome studies have found that various forms of group therapy in late life are generally efficacious for depression and other symptoms and compare favorably with individual psychotherapy.
