摘要


本文目的是認識精神科住院老人憂鬱症之臨床實況,以南部某一醫學中心之急性精神科病房,90年1月至8月之住院患者,年齡在65歲以上且出院診斷(DSM Ⅳ)爲憂鬱症之26名患者對象,以回溯性之設計,對二位精神科住院醫師入院評估所收集在病歷之相關資料作分析統計,呈現與老人憂鬱症之相關因素、誘因、症狀等,結果發現身體疾病、生活事件是主要誘發老人憂鬱症之主因,有近半數老人處在家庭失和之狀態,缺乏有效之家庭支持系統,在症狀方面以想死念頭、失眠、身體不過之抱怨爲最多,建議加強社區之老人憂鬱之篩檢、辨識憂鬱症之徵兆及早防範與治療、加強社區之護理,如強化老人身心衛生講座、增進老人之家庭溝通與社會支持網路之運用是迫切需要。
