Area of Science:

  • Primary Care
  • Chronic Disease Management
  • Mental Health Integration

Background:

  • Comorbid depression frequently co-occurs with chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
  • Integrating mental health screening into routine chronic disease care presents a significant challenge.
  • Practice nurses are well-positioned to play a key role in managing these complex patient needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of practice nurses detecting and monitoring depression in patients with diabetes and heart disease.
  • To evaluate the acceptance and effectiveness of an expanded role for practice nurses in managing comorbid depression.

Main Methods:

  • A feasibility study was conducted across six general practices in southeast Australia.
  • Practice nurses received training on depression detection using the Patient Health Questionnaire.
  • A convenience sample of 332 patients with diabetes and/or heart disease participated.

Main Results:

  • Depression was identified in 34% of the participating patient sample.
  • After 18 months, practice nurses strongly supported continuing the integrated care model.
  • General practitioners rated the model highly for effectiveness and willingness to continue.

Conclusions:

  • Practice nurses can successfully integrate depression monitoring into the systematic care of patients with diabetes and heart disease.
  • The findings support the expanded role of practice nurses in managing comorbid depression within primary care settings.
  • A randomized controlled trial is ongoing to compare this model with usual care for clinical outcomes.
