Abstract

Background

Depression has emerged as a significant concern in migrant older with children (MOC).

Objective

This study aimed to identify the central symptoms of depression among MOC and explore the relationship between depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Methods

A total of 3016 MOC were included in this study. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15. HRQOL was assessed using the Short Form 12 Health Survey. Network analyses were performed using the bootnet R-package to identify central symptoms of depression.

Results

“Unhappy,” “Bored,” “Worthless,” and “Lack of Energy” were central symptoms of depression in this study. We also found “Lack of Energy,” “Afraid” and “Unhappy” were most negatively associated with HRQOL among the MOC.

Conclusions

In the future, it will be necessary to develop interdisciplinary cross-departmental collaborations to formulate mental care programs tailored to the MOC to relieve depressive symptoms.

有子女的老年移民的抑郁症中心症状及其与健康相关的生活质量的关系：网络分析

背景：抑郁症已成为有子女的高龄移民（MOC）的一个重要问题。目的探讨MOC患者抑郁的中心症状，探讨抑郁症状与健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的关系。方法共纳入3016例MOC。抑郁症状采用老年抑郁量表-15进行测量。HRQOL采用短表12健康调查进行评估。使用bootnet R-package进行网络分析以确定抑郁症的中心症状。结果：“不快乐”、“无聊”、“毫无价值”和“缺乏精力”是本研究中抑郁症的主要症状。在MOC中，“缺乏活力”、“害怕”和“不快乐”与HRQOL的负相关最为显著。结论今后需要开展跨学科的跨部门合作，制定适合MOC患者的心理护理方案，以缓解抑郁症状。
