“…In total, 562 residents were assessed, 64.6% of whom was female. The mean age was 78.5 (for females: 79.8, for males: 76.2), which is a representative sample of all new admissions (Arcares, 1999;Achterberg et al, 2003). Two hundred and twenty-one (39.3%) residents were admitted from their own home, 153 from the hospital (27.2%) and 154 (27.4%) from sheltered living facilities (Table 1).…”

Depressive symptoms are very prevalent in nursing homes. Residents who are admitted from their own home, or from a residential facility, have more depressive symptoms than residents admitted from the hospital. This may reflect different conceptualizations or different adjustment patterns for those groups. For a better understanding of the factors associated with nursing home depression, future studies in detection, prevention and management of depressive symptoms should start prior to or directly after admission, especially for those who have no prior institutional history.

“…There is consensus that nursing homes should provide adequate treatment and personal care, facilitating psychosocial well-being and social interaction (Achterberg et al, 2003). Yet, unlike physical care processes, psychosocial or emotional care processes are provided by default, since there are no available models for provision of psychosocial support, or, if available, these are not widely implemented (Zinn, Brannon, Mor, & Barry, 2003).…”

Certified Nursing Assistants' Explanatory Models of Nursing Home Resident Depression

et al. 2008

In this study, we explored how Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) understood resident depression. Interviews with 18 CNAs, working in two nursing homes were guided by Kleinman's Explanatory Models of Illness framework. Interview data were content analyzed and CNAs' descriptions of depression were compared to the MDS 2.0 Mood Screen and to DSM-IV-TR Depression Criteria. CNAs identified causes, signs, and symptoms of depression, but they were unsure about the duration and normalcy of depression in residents. Although they had no formal training, CNAs felt responsible for detecting depression and described verbal and non-verbal approaches that they used for emotional care of depressed residents. CNAs hold potential to improve the detection of depression and contribute to the emotional care of residents. Attention to knowledge deficits and facility barriers may enhance this capacity.

“…As the literature defines it, consumer engagement takes on varied meanings. For instance, in psychology and sociology, It is "the act of participating in social activities by interacting with others" [16]. In the advertising literature, Heath [17] stated that engagement is "the amount of feeling going on when an advertisement is being processed".…”
