Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Nursing Home Care

Background:

  • Depression prevalence in nursing homes is high, yet under-recognized.
  • Screening tools are recommended for detecting depressive symptoms in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss optimal depression management in nursing homes.
  • To evaluate the utility of the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD).

Main Methods:

  • Collected CSDD data from 162 residents in three Sydney nursing homes (2008-2009).
  • Assessed the challenges in applying the CSDD, noting unscoreable items in 47 cases.

Main Results:

  • 23% of residents scored 13 or higher on the CSDD, indicating possible depression.
  • In most high-scoring cases, documentation showed limited staff discussion, interventions, or follow-up testing.

Conclusions:

  • CSDD results should prompt staff to consider depression causation and management.
  • Focus on addressing disability, loss, and powerlessness is crucial.
  • Further research on antidepressant response and non-pharmacological interventions is needed. Nursing home accreditation could link to depression screening and response protocols.
