Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between a frequently used depressive scale and quality of life questionaire among elderly women who attended to a clinic of a university hospital.Materials and methods: Forty-two voluntary women (mean age 68.9±7.8 years) participated for this study. The data were obtained by face-to-face interviews. The questionnaire covered socio-demographic characteristics, administration of the geriatric depression scale (GDS) and the short form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire instrument. Modify Physical Performance Test (MPPT) was performed for each subject.Results: Using the GDS, 11 subjects (25%) were diagnosed with depression. The positive correlation relationship was observed between GDS scores and age. There was no correlation between GDS and job, marital status, education level, living alone, unfreshing sleep, sleep time, MPPT. There was found negative correlation relationship between GDS and SF-36 subgroup scores.Conclusion: The frequently used SF-36 subgroups have strong association with the GDS scores. We conclude that SF-36 and GDS are suitable instruments to use together for screening depression and quality of life in the elderly women.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir üniversite kliniğine başvuran kadınlar arasında yaygın olarak kullanılan yaşam kalitesi ile depresif durum soru formlarının ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır.Yöntem ve Gereç: Çalışmaya gönüllü 42 kadın (yaş ortalaması: 68.9±7.8 yıl) katılmıştır. Veriler yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Bu görüşmede sosyodemografik özelliklerin yanısıra, geriatrik depresyon skalası (GDS), kısa form36 (KF36) ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Gönüllülere Modifiye Fiziksel Performans Testi (MFPT) uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: GDS ile grubun %25'inde depresyon saptanmıştır. GDS skorları ile yaş arasında pozitif bir korelasyon görülmüştür. İş, medeni durum, eğitim, yalnız yaşama, uyku saati, dinlenmiş uyanma, MFPT ile GDS arasında ilişki ortaya konulamamıştır. GDS ile KF36 alt grupları arasında anlamlı negatif korelasyon ilişkisi bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Yaygın olarak kullanılan KF36 subgrup ile GDS arasında güçlü bir ilişki saptanmıştır. KF36 ve GDS ileri yaş kadınlarda depresyon ve yaşam kalitesi taramasında birlikte kullanılabilir.
