Abstract

The objective of this study is to inquire the cognitive level, functional capacity, depression symptoms and to determine demographic characteristics in geriatric outpatients with musculoskeletal complaints. Patients at the age of 65 years and above were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), their functional capacity was measured with the short-form SF-36 scale and depression status was evaluated with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) by the doctors in face-to-face interview. One-way variance analysis (ANOVA), Tukey for Multiple Comparison, t-Test were done for statistical analyses, using Graph Pad Prisma V 3 programme. The mean age of our 91 patients was 70, and 77 % of them were women. The mean scores for SF-36 subscales were 50.44 % for functional state, 47 % for vitality, 42.5 % for general health perceptions and 46.65% for total life satisfaction / quality. All results were low in illeterate patients. The mean score of MMSE was higher than the threshold of 22. And it was higher in men and retired persons compared to others. The GDS mean score (10.47) was arround the threshold level. It was higher in illeterates and low income group. We observed that as the socio-economic level gets higher; the scores of cognitive, functional and depression assessments become higher. We found depression approximately in half of the patients. They had low SF-36 percentage and MMSE assessment score. These lead us to conclude that the diagnosis and treatment of depression in geriatric patients are required.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Fizik Tedavi Ve Rehabilitasyon Polikliniğine lökomotor sistem yakınmasıyla başvuran geriatri hastalarında demografik özellikleri belirlemek ve kognitif düzey, fonksiyonel kapasite ve depresyon varlığını incelemektir. 65 yaş ve üstü hastalarda doktor ile yüz yüze görüşme tekniğiyle Mini Mental Durum Değerlendirmesi (MMDD), SF-36 kısa form sorgulamasıyla fonksiyonel inceleme ve Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği (GDÖ) ile depresyon varlığının değerlendirilmesi. İstatistiksel analizler Graph Pad Prisma V.3 paket programı, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), Tukey çoklu karşılaştırma ve bağımsız t testi 91 hastanın ortalama yaşı 70 ve %77’si kadın. Fonksiyonel durum %50.44, esenlik %47, genel sağlık %42.5, global yaşam doyumu/kalitesi %46.65 bulunmuştur. Okur-yazar olmayanlarda tüm değerlendirmeler daha düşüktür. MMDD ile ortalama 22’in üzerindedir. Erkek ve emeklilerde daha yüksektir. GDS ile hastalar eşik değer civarındadır (10.47). Düşük gelir düzeyinde ve okur-yazar olmayanlarda daha yüksektir. Sosyo-ekonomik düzeyin yükselmesiyle kognitif , fonksiyonel ve depresyon değerlendirmelerinin daha iyi sonuç verdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Hastaların yarıya yakınında depresyon varlığı ve bu grupta MMDD ile SF-36 kısa form incelenmesinin daha düşük değerlerde bulunması, geriatrik hastalarda depresyonun teşhisinin ve tedavisinin gerekliliğini vurgular.
