Resumo: | The most common mental disorder in the elderly is depression. Depressive symptoms are not always presented in a typical way. In depressed aged people multiple somatic complaints are frequently and can be reinforced by hospitalization, making the elderly more susceptible to depressive symptoms. This happens quite frequently in a geriatric ward, where patients admitted there are often more fragile, sensitive to pain and soreness, and with multiple comorbidities. Based on this context, this study aimed to look for critical reflections about the use of the Geriatric Depression Scale (reduced version - GDS-15), widely used as an evaluation method for assessing depression in elderly patients in a geriatric ward. This study is especially qualitative, in which the information gathered has involved application of the required scale. The results have prompted discussions about the need to reassess the reliability of the scale, making it not sufficient or appropriated to measure the depressive symptoms of these specific patients. |

Os sintomas depressivos nem sempre se apresentam de maneira típica. Nos idosos as queixas somáticas são frequentes e podem ser reforçadas pela hospitalização, tornando os idosos mais suscetíveis ainda a sintomas depressivos. Isso se avigora numa ala geriátrica, onde os pacientes lá internados são muitas vezes mais frágeis, poliqueixosos, e com múltiplas comorbidades. Fundamentado a partir deste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo buscar reflexões críticas sobre o uso da Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (na versão reduzida - GDS-15), amplamente utilizada, como método para avaliar o quadro depressivo em idosos internados numa enfermaria de geriatria. Este estudo é, sobretudo, qualitativo, cuja coleta de informações envolveu a aplicação da escala proposta. Os resultados incitaram discussões acerca da necessidade de reavaliação da confiabilidade da Escala, podendo ser esta pouco suficiente/adequada para medir os sintomas depressivos destes pacientes específicos.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/1855310.23925/2176-901X.2013v16i2p307-316Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 16 n. 2 (2013); 307-3162176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/18553/13741Ortiz, Bruna RafaelaWanderley, Katia da Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-13T18:58:20Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18553Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-12-13T18:58:20Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false |

The most common mental disorder in the elderly is depression. Depressive symptoms are not always presented in a typical way. In depressed aged people multiple somatic complaints are frequently and can be reinforced by hospitalization, making the elderly more susceptible to depressive symptoms. This happens quite frequently in a geriatric ward, where patients admitted there are often more fragile, sensitive to pain and soreness, and with multiple comorbidities. Based on this context, this study aimed to look for critical reflections about the use of the Geriatric Depression Scale (reduced version - GDS-15), widely used as an evaluation method for assessing depression in elderly patients in a geriatric ward. This study is especially qualitative, in which the information gathered has involved application of the required scale.
