“…29 Opposite to previous studies, 16,18,28 female older adults in Bali were more likely to be depressed if they were married (compared with unmarried), probably because married women may feel overwhelmed by family responsibility such as the obligation to maintain husband's necessities in the house. 30,31 In addition, female older adults in Bali were less likely to be depressed if having a grandchild in the household, consistent with a study in Greece. 21 Although grand-parenting can be a burden, the bond between female older adults and grandchildren is beneficial for well-being and can reduce the feeling of loneliness in late-life.…”

Introduction. Depression is the most common mental disorder. Older adults are more vulnerable to depression and are usually underdiagnosed and untreated. This study aims to determine the prevalence of depression among older adults in Bali and identify its risk factors.Methods. This study used data from the Dementia Study in Bali 2018. Depression was assessed using a short version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. Scores of ≥10 were categorised as depression and <10 no depression. Risk factors included age, sex, marital status, educational level, employment status, residential district, urban status, economic status, household members, social participation, hobby activities, activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and comorbidities. Older adults with and without depression were compared to determine any risk factors. Multivariate logit regression was used to determine the association between risk factors and depression. Results.A total of 774 female and 719 male participants aged 60 to 100 (mean, 70±7.3) years were included. The mean CES-D score was 9.04±5.92 (range, 0-30). Using the cut-off CES-D score of ≥10 as depression, 631 (42.3%) participants were considered depressed. The prevalence of depression was similar between male and female participants and increased with age. Among female older adults, depression was associated with being married (odds ratio [OR]=1.53, p=0.019), ADL dependent (OR=2.58, p=0.002), IADL dependent (OR=1.93, p=0.033), having high comorbidity scores (OR=3.53, p=0.000), and residing in low socioeconomic districts (OR=2.53, p=0.026). Whereas having a household member aged 0-5 years (OR=0.570, p=0.013) and being active in a hobby (OR=0.339, p<0.001) were associated with lower likelihood of depression. Conclusion.The prevalence of depression among older adults in Bali was high (42.3%) and increased with age. Female older adults were more likely to be depressed when they were married, ADL and IADL dependent, and had comorbidity scores of 3-4 and ≥5. Having a grandchild in the household and active participation in hobbies were associated with lower risk of depression.

“…Many studies that utilized various designs in the literature reported that yoga had positive effects on the subscales of the SF-36 scale in terms of increasing the level of physical functioning, 36 reducing pain, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] increasing the level of general health, 44,45 social function, 37,38 and mental health. 16,36,[46][47][48] This study found a positive increase in the SF-36 scores of the mothers in the yoga group, which is similar with the literature (p < 0.05, Table 4).…”

Aim: This study aims to examine the effect of yoga on posttraumatic growth and quality of life in postpartum mothers. Methods: The study was conducted as randomized controlled. There were 160 participant mothers, including 80 for the yoga group and 80 for the control group. Mothers in the yoga group participated in individual yoga practices at their homes every weekday for 10 weeks. The personal information form, posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI), and short form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale were used to collect data. Results: The results showed that total and subscale mean scores of the PTGI were higher in the yoga group than the control group after the intervention. In comparison to the control group, the mean scores of the yoga group were higher in subscales as physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, mental health of the SF-36, after the intervention. Conclusion:The yoga increased psychological growth and quality of life in the postpartum period. Health professionals could use yoga to increase the quality of life of mothers and to ensure their psychological growth in health care.
