Abstract

Depression is the most frequent mental health problem in older people, and it’s tough to manage because of late-life health issues and cognitive impairment. The study aim to investigate the efficacy of psycho-social intervention for managing depression in older adults and to explore whether types of interventions, specific aspects of the study, and research participants moderate the magnitude of the effectiveness of interventions. we searched different database and followed PRISMA guidelines. Include studies from 2001 to 2021 conducted among the elderly population aged 60 and above. The quality assessment technique developed by the Cochrane Collaboration was used to look for potential sources of bias. Comprehensive meta-analysis is used to analysing effect size. It is found that Psychosocial interventions are effective in reducing depression among older adults. The overall intervention effect size (hedges’ g) was found to be 1.118 (95% CI: 0.835- 1.402), significant at the 0.0001 level. Based on subgroup analysis it is clear that experimental design and severity of depression do not play changes in the effect size of intervention but cognitive impairments can influence the intervention effectiveness.

管理老年人抑郁症的社会心理干预-荟萃分析

抑郁症是老年人中最常见的心理健康问题，由于晚年健康问题和认知障碍，它很难控制。本研究旨在探讨心理社会干预对老年人抑郁症的治疗效果，并探讨干预类型、研究的具体方面和研究参与者是否会调节干预效果的大小。我们搜索了不同的数据库，并遵循PRISMA指南。包括2001年至2021年对60岁及以上长者进行的研究。使用Cochrane协作开发的质量评估技术来寻找潜在的偏倚来源。综合meta分析用于分析效应大小。研究发现，社会心理干预在减少老年人抑郁方面是有效的。总体干预效应大小(对冲系数g)被发现为1.118 (95% CI: 0.835- 1.402)，在0.0001水平上显著。亚组分析表明，实验设计和抑郁严重程度不影响干预的效果大小，但认知障碍会影响干预的效果。
