Resumo: Aims: To evaluate the prevalence of depression in elderly hospitalized in a tertiary hospital, through the application of Yesavage ’s Geriatric Depression Scale, short version (GDS-15). Methods: Cross-sectional study, for which a consecutive sampling was carried out, where hospitalized patients over 60 years of age were included, from the Geriatric Division of Hospital São Lucas/PUCRS, from November 2005 to July 2006. For all patients three scales (GDS-15, Mini Mental State Examination and Katz ADL Scale) were applied. Results: Sixteen patients from a total of 50 were male and 34 female. The majority of them was over 80 years old, single, divorced or widowers. Based on the GDS score, 23 (46%) of all studied individuals presented depression. Nineteen patients (38%) had related sadness as objective symptom and 39 (78%) presented the full Activities of the Daily Life. The correlation between the MMSE score and GDS-15 score was inverse and significant. Conclusions: We can observe on this study the high prevalence of this illness and its influence in all aspects of elderly’s life. KEY WORDS: DEPRESSION; SCALES; AGED; INPATIENTS.

KEY WORDS: DEPRESSION; SCALES; AGED; INPATIENTS.Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência de depressão em idosos internados em um hospital terciário, através da aplicação da Escala de Depressão Geriátrica de Yesavage em versão reduzida (GDS-15). Métodos: Estudo transversal, para o qual foi realizada uma amostragem consecutiva, de conveniência, onde foram incluídos pacientes acima de 60 anos, internados no Serviço de Geriatria do Hospital São Lucas da PUCRS, durante o período de novembro de 2005 a julho de 2006. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à aplicação de três escalas: GDS-15, Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MMSE) e Escala de Katz das Atividades da Vida Diária. Resultados: Dos 50 pacientes estudados 16 eram do sexo masculino e 34 do sexo feminino, a maioria encontrava-se na faixa etária de 80 anos ou mais, eram solteiros, separados ou viúvos. Conforme pontuação no GDS-15, 23 (46%) indivíduos estudados apresentaram depressão. ezenove pacientes (38%) referiram tristeza como sintoma objetivo e 39 (78%) apresentavam as Atividades da Vida Diária plenas. A correlação entre o MMSE e o escore GDS-15 foi inversa e significativa. Conclusões: Podemos observar com este trabalho a alta prevalência de depressão e sua influência em todos os aspectos da vida do idoso.
