Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to compare mental healthcare services for older adults aged ≥65 years among countries in World Psychiatric Association (WPA) Zone 10.

Methods: A culturally sensitive questionnaire was developed and sent to the presidents of national psychiatric associations of the eight countries in WPA Zone 10 (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, and Uzbekistan).

Results: Psychiatric associations of six countries responded to the questionnaire (Armenia and Moldova did not respond). The prevalence of mental disorders among older adults (aged ≥65 years) varied from 2.6% in Russia (among those aged ≥60 years) to 3.5% in Azerbaijan, 4% in Uzbekistan, 12.1% in Kazakhstan, and 13.8% in Kyrgyzstan (no data were available for Belarus). Specialised gerontopsychiatric care is provided in all six countries, except for Kazakhstan.

Conclusion: The prevalence of mental disorders in older adults differed among countries in WPA Zone 10. Improving gerontopsychiatric care is a target for healthcare planners in WPA Zone 10.

世界精神病学协会第10区各国老年人的精神保健。

目的：本研究旨在比较世界精神病学协会（WPA）第10区各国≥65岁老年人的精神卫生保健服务。方法：研究人员制作了一份文化敏感问卷，并将其发送给WPA第10区8个国家（亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆、白俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、摩尔多瓦、俄罗斯和乌兹别克斯坦）的国家精神病学协会主席。结果：六个国家的精神病学协会回应了问卷（亚美尼亚和摩尔多瓦没有回应）。老年人（≥65岁）的精神障碍患病率从俄罗斯（≥60岁）的2.6%到阿塞拜疆（3.5%）、乌兹别克斯坦（4%）、哈萨克斯坦（12.1%）和吉尔吉斯斯坦（13.8%）不等（白俄罗斯没有数据）。除哈萨克斯坦外，所有六个国家都提供专门的老年精神病护理。结论：WPA第10区各国老年人精神障碍患病率存在差异。改善老年精神病护理是WPA第10区医疗保健规划者的目标。
