P < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results Of the study population, 51.8% had a score of ≥14 (definite depression). According to the regression model, the prevalence of depression was higher in older adults aged ≥85 years than in older adults aged 65–74 years (P < 0.01), in females than in males (P < 0.01), in individuals who never consumed alcohol than in those who consumed alcohol (P = 0.04), and in older adults who perceived their health as poor than in those who were unsure about their health and perceived their health as good (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis showed a poor, negative, and significant correlation (r = −0.38; P < 0.01) between the total scores of Older People's Quality of Life Scale of the World Health Organization and Geriatric Depression Scale. Conclusions The prevalence of depression is high among older adults aged ≥65 years. Age, gender, alcohol consumption, health perception, and quality of life are important predictors of depression.

The data were collected with a questionnaire including a series of questions investigating the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The data were subjected to percentage analysis, one-way ANOVA, post hoc tests (Tukey's HSD test) and independent-samples t-test by using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software, version 16.0. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the nurses, 93.3% were female and 60% aged between 30 and 39 years.
