Abstract
AbstractAim This study investigated the impact of depressive symptoms on the physical activity of older patients in a rehabilitation ward.Methods In this cross-sectional study, patients admitted to a rehabilitation ward were assessed. Physical activity was measured using a triaxial accelerometer, while depressive symptoms, physical function, and cognitive function were evaluated with the Geriatric Depression Scale, Short Physical Performance Battery, and Mini Mental State Examination, respectively. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were employed.Results Among 53 participants, significant negative correlations were found between physical activity and depressive symptoms (r = −0.44, p < 0.01), cognitive function (r = -0.41, p < 0.01), and physical function (r = −0.37, p < 0.01). Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with reduced physical activity (β = −0.34, p < 0.05).Conclusion Depressive symptoms negatively impacted physical activity in older patients in rehabilitation units.Keywords: Older adultsphysical activitydepressive symptoms AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the subjects who participated in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe de-identified individual participant datasets used in this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.
期刊介绍:
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
