“…The maximum possible pain score was five (severe pain resulting in sleep difficulties) and the minimum was one (no pain). Depression during the previous week was quantified with use of the validated Dutch form of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D) 26 . Scores range between zero and sixty points, with a higher score indicating a higher level of depression 26 .…”

“…There is also some evidence that the number of depressive symptoms is related to the onset of major depression (Crum et al, 1994). In a recent study, more general risk factors for getting major depression among subjects with subthreshold depression were examined, such as family history of depression, life events, personality characteristics, and chronic illness (Cuijpers et al, 2004b). It was found that family history and chronic physical illness best predicted the onset of major depression.…”

SUMMARYBackground It is well-established that the incidence of major depressive disorder is increased in subjects with subthreshold depression. A new research area focuses on the possibilities of preventing the onset of major depressive disorders in subjects with subthreshold depression. An important research question for this research area is which subjects with subthreshold depression will develop a full-blown depressive disorder and which will not. Methods We selected 154 older subjects with subthreshold depression (CES-D > 16) but no DSM mood disorder from a longitudinal study among a large population based cohort aged between 55 and 85 years in The Netherlands. Of these subjects, 31 (20.1%) developed a mood disorder (major depression and/or dysthymia) at three-year or six-year follow-up. We examined risk factors and individual symptoms of mood disorder as predictors of onset of mood disorder. Results Two variables were found to be significant predictors in both bivariate and multivariate analyses: eating problems and sleep problems. The incidence of mood disorders differed strongly for different subpopulations, varying from 9% (for those not having any of the two risk factors) to 57% (for those having both risk factors). Conclusions It appears to be possible to predict to a certain degree whether a subject with subthreshold depression will develop a mood disorder during the following years.

“…Furthermore, after the intervention, the risk of depression was reduced to 18% post-intervention, which was maintained until the last follow-up conducted. These findings are of great relevance, given that it means reducing the risk of new cases of depression in the future (Cuijpers, Smit, & Willemse, 2005), and exceed the results of the face-to-face format, where the percentage of caregivers at risk of developing depression at post-intervention was 29.5% (Vázquez et al, 2014).…”

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar una intervención breve, en formato telefónico, grupal, dirigida a cuidadores con síntomas depresivos elevados. Se aplicó la intervención de prevención indicada a 61 cuidadores (M = 55.5 años, 90.2% mujeres). Evaluadores independientes valoraron la incidencia de depresión, la sintomatología depresiva, el riesgo de desarrollar depresión y las variables del modelo teórico en que se basó la intervención en la preintervención, posintervención y seguimientos a 1 y 3 meses. La incidencia de depresión hasta 3 meses de seguimiento fue de 4.9%. Hubo una reducción significativa de sintomatología depresiva (p < .001) y del riesgo de desarrollar depresión (p < .001) en la posintervención y los seguimientos a 1 y 3 meses. Las variables del modelo mejoraron significativamente tras la intervención y estuvieron asociadas con los síntomas depresivos posintervención. La adherencia y satisfacción fueron elevadas. Los resultados alientan la realización de un ensayo clínico controlado aleatorizado. Prevention of depression in caregivers through conference calls A B S T R A C TThe aim of this study was to evaluate a brief intervention, implemented via conference call, for non-professional caregivers with high depressive symptoms. Sixty-one caregivers (M = 55.5, 90.2% women) underwent an intervention of indicated prevention. The incidence of depression, depressive symptoms, the risk of developing depression, and model variables in which the intervention was based were assessed by independent evaluators at the pre-intervention, postintervention, and 1-and 3-months of follow-up. The incidence of depression at 3-month follow-up was 4.9%. There was a significant reduction in depressive symptomatology (p < .001) and the risk of developing depression (p < .001) after the intervention and at 1-and 3-months of follow-up. The model variables improved significantly after the intervention and were associated with post-intervention depressive symptoms. Adherence and satisfaction with the intervention were high. The results encourage the performance of a randomized controlled trial. Se ha encontrado que un 8.9% de los cuidadores cumple los criterios para un episodio depresivo mayor . Dadas estas elevadas cifras, así como la escasez de recursos asistenciales para tratar presencial e individualmente a todos aquellos cuidadores que desarrollan una depresión, resulta fundamental llevar a cabo intervenciones de prevención de la depresión dirigidas a esta población (Vázquez y Torres, 2007), ya que disminuyen la incidencia de la depresión en un 21% (van Zoonen et al., 2014). Dentro de éstas, son especialmente relevantes las intervenciones de prevención indicada, las cuales se dirigen a individuos con síntomas subclínicos, pero que no cumplen los criterios diagnósticos para un trastorno determinado y cuyo objetivo es reducir la progresión de esos síntomas hacia un trastorno clínico diagnosticable (Institute of Medicine, 1994).Sin embargo, hasta el momento actual sólo se han publicado dos estudios de prevención indicada d...
