Background: China owns he largest aged population in the world, and the elderly adults who live in pension institutions are more likely to suffer from mental disorders than other elderly adults. The purpose of this study is to discover the risky factors of depression among nursing home residents with various sleeping quality.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Northeastern China from May to September in 2017 using multistage sampling method and 507 elderly people without cognitive impairment in six pension institutions were interviewed. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were adopted to collect the information of sleep quality and depression. We used logistic regression to analyze the factors influencing depression among the elderly adults with poor or good sleep quality.
Results: The overall depression rate among elderly adults was 21.7%. The logistic regression analysis revealed that marital status, chronic disease, regular exercise, physical ache, filial piety and chewing ability had significant effects on the depression of the elderly with good sleep quality. Loneliness, self-caring ability, chewing ability and chronic diseases had significant effects on depression of the elderly with poor sleep quality.
Conclusion: The prevalence of depressive symptoms in the elderly is not high. However, sleeping quality distinguishes root causes on elderly adults depression. Therefore, the risk factors of depression among elderly adults should be analyzed separately.
