Michelle Bissett, Lecturer, Occupational Therapy Prof Anne Cusick, Head, School of Health Sciences Assessing depression in older adults in the emergency department: Reliability of the 5-item Geriatric Depression Scale

Background Depression is the most common mental health condition of older adults but is not routinely screened for in the Emergency Department (ED) Previous estimates have suggested that approximately 30% of older adults presenting to ED screen positively for depression To be clinically valuable, screening tools need to be both valid and reliable

Study aim To determine prevalence of depression in older adults in the Emergency Department To evaluate the internal reliability of the GDS-5 with older adults presenting to the Emergency Department

Methodology GDS-5 administered to 103 patients over the telephone within one week of ED visit Patients had been assessed by an occupational therapist and deemed suitable for direct discharge home from the ED Patients were required speak English Are you basically satisfied with your life? Do you often get bored? Do you often feel helpless? Do you prefer to stay at home rather than going out and doing new things? Do you feel pretty worthless the way you are now?

Results - Demographics Mean patient age was years Females = 69, males = 34 Patients were commonly low medical urgency 45% of patients presented post fall Patients had an average of 3.7 documented medical co-morbidities Highest education level – primary school (n=54, 52%), high school (n=45, 44%), tertiary education (n=12, 12%), not answered (n=1, 1%)

Results - GDS 51 (49.5%) of patients screened positively for depression Depression only documented as a co-morbidity in 6 cases The GDS-5 took less than 5 minutes to administer 10 patients (10%) expressed difficulty understanding the questions Problematic questions:  Do you often feel helpless?  Do you feel pretty worthless the way you are now?

Results – Pyschometric testing Internal reliability Cronbach’s α = 0.50 QuestionCorrected item- Total correlation Cronbach’s α if item deleted Are you basically satisfied with your life? Do you often feel bored? Do you often feel helpless? Do you prefer to stay at home rather than going out and doing new things? Do you feel pretty worthless the way you are now?

Discussion Prevalence of positive screening for depression was high at 49.5%.  This is higher than previous ED studies with older adults which reported rates of 16.5% (Hustey & Smith, 2007), 17% (Hustey, 2005), 27% (Meldon, Emerman, Schubert, Moffa & Etheart, 1997) and 42% (Lee, Wong & Lau, 2006) Internal reliability was low at 0.50  Previous reports in other clinical settings have typically been higher – 0.73 (Gómez-Angulo & Campo-Arias, 2011), 0.68 (Lach, Chang & Edwards, 2010), 0.41 – 0.79 (Crawford & Robinson, 2008) and 0.80 (Hoyl, et al, 1999) Clients in this study had some difficulty understanding the concepts in the GDS-5.  This has been previously reported as problematic (Flacker & Spiro, 2003) and warrants further investigations into clinical utility

Is the GDS5 a good option for ED use? The GDS-5 can be recommended with minor reservations… Strengths: Freely available Fast to administer Most patients understand the questions In a population of older adults it discriminated between participants Weaknesses Some confusion about question meaning Low internal reliability Not comparable with other studies of depression incidence Requires more research regarding reliability, validity and utility in the ED
