老年抑鬱量表(Geriatric Depression Scale, GDS)是由Yesavage等人於1982年開發的一種專門用於評估老年人抑鬱症狀的自我報告問卷。GDS設計初衷是爲了克服傳統抑鬱評估工具在應用於老年人羣體時遇到的一些限制,比如對認知功能下降的敏感性問題。它通過簡單易懂的問題來幫助識別老年人中的抑鬱症病例,並評估其嚴重程度。
The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is a self-reported questionnaire developed by YeSavage et al. in 1982 specifically for assessing depressive symptoms in elderly individuals. The original intention of GDS design was to overcome some limitations encountered by traditional depression assessment tools when applied to the elderly population, such as sensitivity to cognitive decline. It helps identify depression cases among the elderly and assess their severity through simple and easy to understand questions.
