Evaluation Tool

ABSTRACTThe research presented here argues for the development of an evaluation tool for elderly persons' adjustment to a retirement home that more specifically measures the psychospatial adjustment of home residents. Elderly persons who enter a retirement home must undergo a process that requires them to first disappropriate their old objects and then reappropriate the new ones that furnish their rooms. The order in which this process occurs is as follows: first, objects from their former residence; second, objects acquired after entry into a home; and, third, objects belonging to the retirement home. After the existence of this process had been verified in a sample of 130 residents aged 67 to 98 years, it was demonstrated that the evaluation tool used in this study significantly correlates with the scale developed by Castonguay and Ferron (1999) that measures elderly persons' adjustment to their environments (EAPAR), as well as with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), which evaluates levels of depression. In this study, this latter is an indicator of adjustment.

V klinickom výskume sme vzorke pacientov (N = 67) z Domova pro seniory Nopova administrovali viaceré psychodiagnostické metódy s cieľom overiť ich reliabilitu a validitu pri širšom popise demencie. Kognitívny deficit sme zisťovali českými prekladmi testov Addenbrookský Kognitívny Test, Revidovaná Verzia, (ACE-R) a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Na screening depresie sme použili Škálu Geriatrickej Depresie v jej 15 položkovej českej verzii (GDS-15). Aktivity denného života sme posudzovali českými verziami Dotazníka Sebestačnosti (DAD-CZ) a Dotazníka Funkčného Stavu (FAQ-CZ). Použité metódy sa z psychometrického hľadiska ukázali ako reliabilné nástroje. In clinical research we have administered various psychodiagnostic methods to a sample of patients (N = 67) of Domov pro seniory Nopova (retirement home) with the objective to verify their reliability in context of broader description of dementia. The cognitive deficit was measured using the Czech translations of Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). For the screening of the depression we used the Geriatric Depression Scale in its 15-item Czech version (GDS-15). The activities of daily living were assessed using the Czech versions of Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD-CZ) and Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ-CZ). The reliability was verified with Cronbach’s alpha. The used methods proved to be reliable tools in psychometric terms.

Older Populations

The assessment of depression among elderly persons has been difficult to accomplish. A new scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale, however, has been developed to alleviate some of the conceptual and psychometric problems of other more widely used depression scales among older populations. In this study, scores of 61 older psychiatric inpatients were compared for the new scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. These groups did not differ on chronicity, education, or intelligence. Although there is much overlap between the two ( r = .73), there is also considerable independence. Most importantly, scores on the new scale were a more precise indicator of depression diagnosis than the Beck scores. Finally, the new scale was a better discriminator between two older groups, depressed and non-depressed, than the Beck scores.

Elderly Chinese

A total of 187 elderly Chinese from the community were interviewed with the Chinese versions of the Geriatric Depression Scale-the long form and the short form. The scores on a proposed new version of the short form were also calculated. Cronbach alpha for the Geriatric Depression Scale-long form was .86. The correlations were significant between scores on the long and short forms ( r = .94, p < .05) and between those on the long and new short forms ( r = .91, p <. 05). Cronbach coefficient alpha for the short form was .77 and for the new short form .81. Results of our study indicated that responding by these elderly persons on both short forms is acceptably internally consistent in comparison with those on the original Geriatric Depression Scale.

Elder People

Depression in eldery couldn’t be easily detected because physical complaint was more often than emotional complaint. In severe case, depression could cause suicidal behaviour (Irawan, 2013). Therefore, elderly need assistance to deal with depression, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the solution. Research design is pre-experimental design, using pre-test and post-test design. Before intervention, Geriatric Depression Scale test were given to one group of elder people. EFT intervention were given two times for four weeks, and Geriatric Depression Scale test were tested after intervention. Population was elder people who fulfill inclusion criterias, and 30 elderly were obatained. The significancy result was 0,000 (α = 0,05), it could be inferred that EFT has a strong relationship to depression scale. EFT could significantly reduce depression scale in elderly, so it can bes used effectively.
