“…The secondary analysis assessed the health access of elderlies in the mental health community outreach clinic compared to traditional tertiary healthcare facilities using past one-year health records (216 vs. 187). Over half of the studies (53%, n = 10) recruited an elderly sample population from a convenient setting, either a hospital or old-age home/residential home/hospice (Krishnamurthy and Telles, 2007;Hariprasad, Varambally, et al, 2013;Kumar, Adiga and George, 2014;Kumar et al, 2014;Dev, KV and Pillai, 2015;Ramanathan, Bhavanani and Trakroo, 2017;Maheshwari, Chaturvedi and Sharma, 2021;Rizvi Jafree et al, 2021;.…”

Background: Mental health (MH) among older adults is becoming a growing public health concern in South Asia due to constant changing in population dynamics caused by declining fertility and increasing life expectancy. This scoping review aims to explore and summarize available evidence about MH interventions evaluating their impact on geriatric mental disorders and highlight gaps and areas in future research. Method: We searched six electronic databases and additional sources for observational/experimental studies evaluating the impact on geriatric mental health in eight countries in the South Asia region. Results: From a total of 3432 potential articles that were retrieved, 19 were included in this review following pre-determined eligibility criteria. Across studies, MH interventions can be broadly categorized into the following types – 1) traditional yoga, Ayurveda, or other meditative movements, 2) behavioral, occupational, or learning-based interventions, 3) few digital or tech-based interventions, 4) music therapy, 5) evaluation of a new Healthcare model. The evidence is predominantly based on India, whereas only three articles are identified from Pakistan. No evidence is found from other six South Asian countries. Depression and anxiety are the most frequent MH outcomes, followed by quality of life, cognitive function, self-esteem, physical performance, and many other components. Conclusion: Handful of evidence on MH intervention in South Asia indicates a lack of acknowledgment that may develop a serious paucity in geriatric MH practice. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct empirical studies to understand disease burden, including associated factors of geriatric MH, which may help to construct contextually appropriate MH interventions.

“…Demographic changes such as the increase in people aged 60 years and above have created a structural lag in many developing countries of South-East Asia like Pakistan that lack organizational structures and institutional capacities to meet the demands of older persons [ 1 , 2 ]. According to the latest available statistics, Pakistan was ranked the 5th worst country for older adults [ 3 ].…”

“…A similar trend can also be observed in other South-East Asian countries bringing challenges such as the provision of healthcare facilities, transportation, jobs, recreation, housing, and increasing the number of different types of senior care facilities such as old age homes, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, retirement homes, and residential care facilities for older adults [ 2 , 5 – 7 ]. Some of the studies from this region conducted on senior care facilities have stressed to increase the number of such facilities due to the increasing population of older adults, demand for healthcare systems, housing, changing preferences of older persons to live in such settings to avoid loneliness, abandonment of parents by the children due to changing norms of filial piety and familial care-giving, and increased abuse and neglect of older adults in home settings [ 1 , 2 , 6 , 8 – 14 ]. Nevertheless, evidence also suggests that older adults may be at a higher risk of experiencing abuse and lower well-being in these senior care facilities [ 15 – 18 ].…”

Background Published research on senior care facilities in Pakistan is scarce and no large-scale study has been conducted to assess factors affecting well-being of older adults in these facilities. This study, therefore, investigated the effects of relocation autonomy, loneliness, and satisfaction with services along with socio-demographic characteristics on physical, psychological, and social well-being of older residents living in senior care facilities of Punjab, Pakistan. Methods This cross-sectional study collected data from 270 older residents living in 18 senior care facilities across 11 districts of Punjab, Pakistan from November 2019 to February 2020 using multistage random sampling. Existing reliable and valid scales were used to collect information from older adults related to relocation autonomy (Perceived Control Measure Scale), loneliness (de Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale), satisfaction with service quality (Service Quality Scale), physical and psychological well-being (General Well-Being Scale), and social well-being (Duke Social Support Index). A psychometric analysis of these scales was carried out followed by three separate multiple regression analyses to predict physical, psychological, and social well-being from socio-demographic variables and key independent variables (relocation autonomy, loneliness, and satisfaction with service quality). Results The results of multiple regression analyses showed that the models predicting physical (R2 = 0.579), psychological (R2 = 0.654), and social well-being (R2 = 0.615) were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Number of visitors was a significant predictor of physical (b = 0.82, p = 0.01), psychological (b = 0.80, p < 0.001), and social (b = 2.40, p < 0.001) well-being. Loneliness significantly predicted physical (b = -0.14, p = 0.005), psychological (b = -0.19, p < 0.001), and social (b = -0.36, p < 0.001) well-being. Control over relocation process significantly predicted physical (b = 0.56, p < 0.001) and psychological (b = 0.36, p < 0.001) well-being. Satisfaction with services significantly predicted physical (b = 0.07, p < 0.001) and social (b = 0.08, p < 0.001) well-being. Conclusion Pragmatic, equitable and cost-effective interventions are needed to improve the wellbeing of older residents living in senior care facilities. Friendly behavior of mobilizing staff and adjusted residents to facilitate new residents, therapeutic interventions such as relocation support programs, reminiscence therapy and intergenerational support, and increasing their exposure and connection to the outside world, can raise their physical, psychological, and social well-being.
