Abstract

A randomized-sample taken from all elderly patients aged 70 years and over hospitalized for medical/surgical disorders was studied (N = 108) to determine the influence of health problems and social support on depression. According to DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria, 50.9% had psychiatric disorders and 15.7% had affective disorders. In the total sample, depressive symptoms significantly correlated with the existence of health problems and lack of social support, but independently considered, these variables did not have a significant influence on diagnoses of depressive disorders.

摘要

对所有因内科/外科疾病住院的70岁及以上老年患者进行随机抽样研究（N = 108），以确定健康问题和社会支持对抑郁症的影响。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订版（DSM-III-R）的诊断标准，50.9%的患者患有精神疾病，15.7%的患者患有情感障碍。在整个样本中，抑郁症状与健康问题的存在和社会支持的缺乏显著相关，但单独考虑时，这些变量对抑郁症诊断没有显著影响。
