Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Background: Depression among the elderly has risen in severity and frequency. With a majority of people above the ages of 55 years suffering from depression. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the total number of people suffering from depression exceeded 300 million in 2015 worldwide. Depression is a significant public health problem among older adults; the condition is prevalent and a leading cause of health disability and death. Nursing homes represented 48% of all reported depression cases in 2011 and 2012 in the U.S. Methods: The evidenced-based practice project involved 20 adults above 55 years subject to reminiscence therapy (RT). The therapy was implemented by sharing memories, listening, or watching movies. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and The Satisfaction with Life Scale (LWS) were used to test depression before and after the implementation. Initially, the GDS showed mild depression 8, moderate depression 9, and severe depression 3, while LWS showed neutral 6, extremely dissatisfied with life 14, and extremely satisfied 0. After the project, GDS scores were 14 for mild depression, 4 for moderate depression, and 2 for severe depression. LWS scores were 12 for neutral, 6 for extremely dissatisfied with life, and 2 for extremely satisfied. Findings: RT was effective in decreasing perceptions of depression and improving perceptions of life satisfaction. Implication: RT is an effective way to treat depression, improve life satisfaction, and improve healthcare outcomes among older adults in long-term care settings.

Book Synopsis Reminiscence Therapy by : Kathryn Lee Geremia
Download or read book Reminiscence Therapy written by Kathryn Lee Geremia and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a serious mental illness that can occur at any age of life. Depression in older individuals is becoming more salient, as life expectancy continues to increase and the geriatric population continues to grow. Therefore, treatment methods for depression in this cohort are needed. Psychopharmacology methods are readily utilized to treat depression, but come with potentially harmful side effects. A variety of psychotherapies remain prominent methods for treating depression, but little attention has been given to the specific treatment of depression in the elderly. Reminiscence therapy (RT) is one therapeutic modality that has been shown to be effective in treating depression in older individuals, but little information exists on how to utilize and apply such therapeutic interventions. The dissertation illustrates a new structure and comprehensive group manual the integrates and streamlines the current literature on using reminiscence therapy with older individuals with depression. This manual will help clinicians to feel competent in treating older individuals with depression, which will ultimately help this older population get the care they need. Additionally, usage of this manual will provide opportunities for greater research to be conducted on RT in order to promote this treatment modality and establish efficacy and validity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence Based Treatment with Older Adults: Theory, Practice, and Research provides a detailed examination of five research-supported psychosocial interventions for use with older adults: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, life review/reminiscence, problem solving therapy, and psychoeducational/social support approaches. These interventions address the diversity of mental health conditions and late-life challenges that older adults and their family members experience. Detailed explanations of the approaches, skills, and strategies employed in each intervention are provided, as are adaptions for use of the interventions with older adults. Vignettes are also used to demonstrate the use of specific practice skills and techniques with older clients. The theory undergirding each approach and the historical development of the interventions is explained, and provides the reader with a rich understanding of background and context of each therapy. In addition, the distinct issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse/misuse for which evidence exists are highlighted. Research support for application of the interventions in community-based, acute care, and long-term care settings and in individual and group formats is also discussed. Finally, implementation issues encountered in therapeutic work with older adults are described as are accommodations to enhance treatment efficacy. In sum, this book provides a comprehensive overview of evidence based psychosocial interventions for older adults; it is ideal for students and mental health professionals interested in clinical work with older adults and their families.

Book Synopsis Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Book Synopsis Depression and the Social Environment by : Philippe Cappeliez
Download or read book Depression and the Social Environment written by Philippe Cappeliez and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1993-08-10 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the essays in Depression and the Social Environment explore the etiological role of the social environment, suggesting that for "neglected populations" -- immigrants and refugees, native Indians, the unemployed, the physically disabled, the elderly, caregivers of the impaired elderly, children and adolescents, and women -- depression has significant environmental roots. These populations and the manifestations of depression that they exhibit have been largely overlooked because the importance of the social environment itself has been insufficiently investigated. The contributors of most of the essays discuss empirical findings and, taken together, provide a unique in-depth review and analysis of the international literature on etiology, intervention, and policy implications. The approach developed in this volume has obvious significance for other mental health problems with social-environmental roots. In bridging the academic/practice divide, the authors address the interrelated concerns of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.

Geriatric depression is often being misinterpreted as a normal aspect of aging process, but it is indeed a complex psychological problem that would result in significant increases in DALYs. With effective treatments, depressive symptoms and signs can be reduced. Nevertheless, pharmacological intervention is often used as the first-line treatment for geriatric depression. In recent years, different types of non-pharmacological intervention have been getting more attention in terms of theirs effectiveness in treating geriatric depression. Objectives Primary objective is to determine whether two categories of non-pharmacological intervention (physical activity and reminiscence therapy) are effective in relieving depression in elderly that are 60 years old or older. The other objectives are to examine enduring effects of physical activity and reminiscence therapy, and compare the effectiveness of reminiscence therapy and physical activity in alleviating depressive symptoms in elderly compared with no intervention and/or other intervention. Methods Relevant studies published between the year of 2000 and 2013 were searched and identified through several electronic databases, including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO and Google Scholar, with a combination of keywords. All randomized controlled trials that examine physical activity and reminiscence therapy on elderly that are 60 years old or older, being diagnosed or indicated as suffering from depression were included. The methodological quality of each study was assessed. The outcome measure of this review is the depression symptom level. Main Result A total of 12 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria, in which seven were about physical activity and five of them were about reminiscence therapy. Significant immediate reduction in depressive symptoms was found in five out of seven physical activity studies and in four out of five reminiscence studies. Three and two studies respectively on physical activity and reminiscence therapy had assessed the effect at follow-up and looked at the lasting effect. In two physical activity studies that have assessed the short-term effect beyond the completion of intervention, incongruent findings were found. Only one physical activity study has examined the long-term effect and it reported significant positive result. On the other hand, there were two reminiscence therapy studies assessing the short-term effect on depressive symptoms. These two studies reported significant improvement in depressive symptoms. Since there were few studies reporting the medium and long-term effect of physical activity and reminiscence therapy, no conclusion can be made on their enduring effect of reducing depressive symptoms. Conclusions Physical activity and reminiscence therapy appear to be effective non-pharmacological interventions for relieving depressive symptoms in elderly. They may complement pharmacological intervention and/or may offer alternative treatment option for elderly with depression. However, the mode, intensity, duration, type, format of physical activity and reminiscence therapy on depressive symptoms in elderly remain unclear. Further testing is need before these interventions can be routinely used to allevia
