| Sumario: | Objective: : to compare the prevalence of depressive symptoms in hospitalized elderly using the Geriatric Depression Scale–15 and the nursing assessment of the older adult at admission. Method: this descriptive, cross-sectional study at a public teaching hospital used the Geriatric Depression Scale and an instrument listing depressive symptoms drawn from defining characteristics of nursing diagnoses. Results: the Geriatric Depression Scale returned a 47% prevalence of depressive symptoms in the hospitalized older adults, while the nursing assessment at admission found 25% prevalence. Conclusion: the nursing assessment detected a lower percentage of depressive symptoms in the older adults than the specific instrument for depression. |
