Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent degenerative conditions among the elderly, significantly impacting both mental and physical health, including an elevated risk of depression. This study aims to assess the prevalence of depression distribution among patients with knee osteoarthritis attending the geriatric polyclinic at a Regional General Hospital in Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed. Data were collected through medical record reviews and structured interviews. The findings revealed that 61.3% of patients experienced mild depression, 35.3% were categorized as having no depression, and 3.3% had moderate depression, with no cases of severe depression identified. The majority of patients were classified as older adults (aged 75–90 years, 60%) and predominantly female (78.7%). In conclusion, knee osteoarthritis is most commonly observed in the older age group and among females. Most patients present with mild depression, which tends to worsen with advancing age, influenced by chronic pain and functional limitations.

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis is a common degenerative condition among the elderly, leading to a significant decline in functional ability and increased dependency in daily activities. This study aimed to analyze the level of independence and pain distribution among elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis at the Geriatric Polyclinic of a General Hospital. A descriptive design was utilized, using secondary data from 150 elderly patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. Independence levels were assessed using the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale, while pain location data were retrieved from medical records. The findings revealed that 72.7% of patients maintained independence, while 27.3% required assistance, with bilateral pain reported in 87.3% of cases. Most patients were aged 71–90 years, with a predominance of females (78.7%). These results indicate that the majority of elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis remain functionally independent, although age and gender significantly influence the prevalence and severity of the condition.
