"Where-there-is-no-psychiatrist Integrated Personal Therapy" Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that approximately 15% of adults aged 60 and above suffer from some form of mental disorder, with one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders being depression. Similar trends are seen in Singapore where 11.4% of the older adults aged 65 and above had depressive symptoms. Another population survey conducted among elderly in Singapore showed that elderly with subsyndromal depression (SSD) were similar to or worse than elderly with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However being a multi-ethnic Asia society the mental conditions such as depression and anxiety are seen as taboo topics to be discussed more so to seek help or treatment for these conditions in Singapore. Additionally scarcity of trained psychiatrists and work load of these trained professionals in the acute care settings make it difficult to reach these needy older adults. Hence, it is imperative to support the needs of this group of community dwelling older adults to ensure that their emotional wellbeing, and their condition do not progress to MDD. As such, this is the first of its kind study that will evaluate the effectiveness of solution focused brief therapy delivered by the lay mindfulness practitioner and the nurses.
If the pilot intervention is found to be feasible and effective, the large scale community trial will be planned to reach to more elderly in Singapore to help them age in a dignified way. In addition, other countries that do not involve lay mindfulness practitioners and nurses to provide integrated personal therapy in the community may benefit from this study as well.
