“…The K10 is a Likert scale instrument composed of 10 items, each coded one to five [8]. Previous studies have reported that the scale exhibits excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach's a of 0.90 [9]. Ma et al reported a split-half reliability coefficient of 0.7076 and the coefficient of internal consistency (Cronbach's a) of 0.8011 [10].…”

a b s t r a c tObjectives: The objective of this study was to examine the falls efficacy of older adults in nursing homes and the related predictors of falling. Methods: A sample of 317 older adults was recruited from 18 nursing homes in the Fujian province of China. The Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were employed to collect data. Results: The falls efficacy of older adults was moderate (7.80 ± 1.17). The falls efficacy questionnaire item "Get dressed and undressed" scored the highest (9.12 ± 1.440), while "Crossing roads" scored the lowest (5.77 ± 3.371). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that mental health status, degree of self-care, age and gender were each predictors of the falls efficacy of older adults. Conclusions: Falls efficacy enhancing programs for nursing home residents should take mental health status, degree of self-care, age and gender into account.

“…Examination of the issue across 11 countries (10 HICs and 1 low income country (LIC) -Uganda), supported the "universality" of postpartum morbid unhappiness but raised concerns about the cross-cultural equivalence of PND as an illness requiring clinical intervention (Oates et al, 2004). There has been expansion in the testing of PND screening instruments in LLMICs, significantly improving the validity and reliability of evidence relating to PND from these settings (Baggaley et al, 2007;Banerjee et al, 2000;Gausia et al, 2007;Hanlon et al, 2008;Kaaya et al, 2008;Kazi et al, 2009;Pollock et al, 2006;Randhawa et al, 2009;Regmi et al, 2002;Spies et al, 2009;Stewart et al, 2009;Tesfaye et al, 2010;Weobong et al, 2009;Wulsin et al, 2002). In our mapping we take an inclusive approach and include studies that assessed depression in the postpartum period, for which we do not know the timing of the onset of depression, including maternal depression in the postpartum period.…”

Poverty and postnatal depression: a systematic mapping of the evidence from low and lower middle income countries

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study systematically maps, assesses and aggregates research relating to postnatal depression (PND) and poverty in low and lower middle income countries (LLMICs). Our search of 12 databases yielded 2,202 articles, of which 47 items from 17 countries were included in our mapping. We highlight mechanisms for the relationships between poverty and PND in LLMICs. The research base on the relationships between poverty and PND in LLMIC is limited, but has recently expanded. It is dominated by studies that consider whether poverty is a risk factor for PND. Income, socio-economic status and education are all inconsistent risk factors for PND. Clues to better ways of framing and capturing economic stress in PND research is found in the qualitative studies included in our mapping. Evidence focuses overwhelmingly on individual-level analyses. To understand the scale and implications of PND in LLMICs, research has to take account of neighbourhoods, communities, and localities.

“…The Amharic version of the Kessler-6 scale (Tesfaye, Hanlon, Wondimagegn, & Alem, 2010), which consists of six questions each containing 5-point Likert scales (from "never = 0" to "all the time = 4") was used to assess depressive symptoms. Patients with sum scores >12 in the Kessler-6 scale were considered to have depressive symptoms (Kessler et al, 2010).…”

Sub-optimal adherence to combination anti-retroviral therapy and its associated factors according to self-report, clinician-recorded and pharmacy-refill assessment methods among HIV-infected adults in Addis Ababa

et al. 2016

Adherence to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is generally high in most resource-limited settings. However, sub-optimal adherence occurs in a sizable proportion of patients, and is independently predictive of detectable viremia. We investigated sub-optimal adherence according to self-report, clinician-recorded, and pharmacy-refill assessment methods, and their associated factors among HIV-infected adults receiving cART in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Eighthundred seventy patients who initiated cART between May 2009 and April 2012 were randomly selected, and 664 patients who were alive, had remained in clinical care and were receiving cART for at least six-months were included. Sub-optimal adherence was defined as patients' response of less than "all-of the time" to the self-report adherence question, or any clinicianrecorded poor adherence during the six most recent clinic visits, or a pharmacy-refill of <95% medication possession ratio (MPR). Logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with sub-optimal adherence. The average adherence level to cART, expressed as MPR, was nearly 97%. However, sub-optimal adherence occurred in 12%, 4%, and 27% of patients according to self-report, clinician-recorded, and pharmacy-refill measures, respectively. More satisfaction with social support was significantly associated with less sub-optimal adherence according to self-report and clinician-record. Younger age, lower educational level, and lower CD4 cell count at cART initiation were significantly associated with sub-optimal refill-based adherence. Findings from our large multi-center study suggest that sub-optimal adherence was present in up to a quarter of the patients, despite a high degree of average adherence to cART. Interventions aimed at preventing sub-optimal adherence should focus on improving social support, on younger patients, on patients with lower educational level, and on those who started cART at a lower CD4 cell count.
