Title: | Correlates and prevalence of depression in chinese residents of nursing homes in Hong Kong and implications for services and intervention policies | Authors: | Yeung, JWK Kwok, SYCL Chung, A |
Issue Date: | 2010 | Source: | Ljetopis socijalnog rada, 2010, , v. 17, no. 3, p. 445-460 | Abstract: | Due to paucity of research on prevalence of depression in Chinese elderly people residing in nursing homes, the present study investigated a set of predictors at personal, physical, social and psychosocial levels among 187 elderly residents in Hong Kong. The results show that 17.6% of the participants reported a manifest level of depression (GDS >= 8). Financial strain and physical functioning impairment significantly augmented the likelihood of depression; however, strong support networks at residential settings as well as high self-esteem reduce the likelihood of this mental morbidity. Implications for services and intervention policies as well as further research are briefly discussed. | Publisher: | Sveuciliste u Zagrebu, Pravni Fakultet,University of Zagreb, Faculty of Law | Journal: | Ljetopis socijalnog rada | ISSN: | 1846-5412 | EISSN: | 1848-7971 | Rights: | This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-NoDerivs 4.0 License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/) which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work as published without adaptation or alteration, without further permission provided the original work is attributed as long as they cite the original source.
