Abstract

Loneliness has been identified as a risk factor for depressive symptoms. Resilience and social support have been regarded as underlying protective factors. Little is known about the complex relations among these factors in the nursing home elderly. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms, explore whether resilience mediated the association between loneliness and depressive symptoms, and investigate whether social support moderated the indirect or direct effect of mediation model. A total of 323 nursing home elderly were recruited in Jinan City, China. Loneliness, resilience, social support and depressive symptoms were measured. Results shown the association between loneliness and depressive symptoms was partially mediated by resilience. Besides, the indirect effect of the mediation model was moderated by social support. When the level of social support was higher, the indirect effect of loneliness on depressive symptoms through resilience was weaker. The incidence of depressive symptoms among the nursing home elderly could not be neglected. The findings suggest that interventions, such as improving resilience and social support, may help break the link between loneliness and depressive symptoms among the elderly in nursing homes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
