Abstract

Objective. Depression is a major problem in long-term care (LTC) as is the lack of related empirically supported psychological treatments. This small study addressed a variant of cognitive behavioral therapy, GIST (group, individual, and staff therapy), against treatment as usual (TAU) in long-term care. Method. 25 residents with depression were randomized to GIST (n = 13) or TAU (n = 12). Outcome measures included geriatric depression scale-short form (GDS-S), life satisfaction index Z (LSI-Z), and subjective ratings of treatment satisfaction. The GIST group participated in 15 group sessions. TAU crossed over to GIST at the end of the treatment trial. Results. There were significant differences between GIST and TAU in favor of GIST on the GDS-S and LSI-Z. The GIST group maintained improvements over another 14 sessions. After crossover to GIST, TAU members showed significant improvement from baseline. Participants also reported high subjective ratings of treatment satisfaction. Discussion. This trial demonstrated GIST to be more effective for depression in LTC than standard treatments.

  • Six studies reported quality of life or psychological well-being data, and two reported anxious symptomatology; no studies reported physical functioning, agitation, or adverse events.

    “Six studies reported data on quality of life or psychological wellbeing (Abraham 1992;Bailey 2017;Hyer 2009;Luo 2020;Sales 2015;Travers 2017), and two studies reported data on level of anxious symptomatology (Dozeman 2011;Sales 2015).No studies reported outcomes for physical functioning, agitation, or adverse events.”
  • In seven studies, authors limited detection bias by blinding personnel collecting outcome measures and were at low risk.

    “In seven studies, authors limited the risk of detection bias by blinding personnel collecting outcome measures and were at low risk of detection bias (Abraham 1992;Dozeman 2011;Hyer 2009;Karimi 2010;Meeks 2008;Meeks 2015;Tsai 2008).”
  • Two studies were at high risk of selection bias: one due to replacing participants who terminated, and one due to randomizing based on presence or absence of MDD diagnosis.

    “Two studies were at high risk of selection bias: one due to the use of additional participants to replace those who terminated the trial (Hussian 1979), and one study randomized participants based on the presence or absence of a diagnosis of MDD (Hyer 2009).”

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.
