Abstract

Nursing home residents are more likely to experience symptoms of depression compared to seniors living at home. Older individuals face various physical and psychological challenges, such as hearing loss, vision impairment, and memory decline, which can hinder effective communication and diminish their overall well-being. This study aims to investigate the link between the quality of communication among older people in nursing homes and their levels of depression. The study uses observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The sample comprises 50 older individuals living in nursing homes, selected through purposive sampling. The independent variable is communication quality, evaluated using the Quality of Communication (QOC) questionnaire, while the dependent variable is depression level, assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaire. Data analysis involves calculating the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient at a 95% confidence level. The research findings show that 60% of the older participants exhibited moderate communication quality, while 88% experienced mild depression. The Spearman Rho statistical test resulted in a p-value of 0.009 and a correlation coefficient of -0.366, indicating a significant inverse relationship between communication quality and depression among older people. Nurses are encouraged to promote communication among nursing home residents by organizing activity groups, facilitating interactions, and creating environments conducive to social engagement. In conclusion, effective communication plays a crucial role in lowering the depression levels of nursing home residents.

Abstract

The growing global incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) underscores the pressing need to investigate practical and sustainable management strategies. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic health condition that necessitates continuous monitoring and long-term care to maintain blood glucose levels within optimal limits. One critical factor influencing diabetes self-management is family support, which encompasses emotional, instrumental, informational, and appreciative dimensions. Family members play a crucial role in supporting individuals with T2DM by assisting with daily care routines, promoting adherence to treatment regimens, and offering motivation. This scoping review aims to critically evaluate the significance of family support as a key component in enhancing self-management among individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It will outline the key elements of family support and investigate their relationship with diabetes-related outcomes, including glycemic control, medication adherence, and dietary adherence. The review encompasses an analysis of 15 pertinent articles retrieved from three key databases: ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and ProQuest. The keywords employed comprised "family or caregiver support" and "diabetes mellitus type 2," integrated through the use of Boolean operators. The findings of this review indicate that family involvement considerably contributes to improved health outcomes for patients with T2DM. Individuals possessing robust family support demonstrate enhanced medication adherence, improved blood glucose levels, and greater compliance with dietary recommendations. In concludion, the integration of family support within diabetes management interventions has the potential to facilitate more effective and holistic approaches to treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
