Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation, 2021

Abstract

Objective: A miniature semisystematic review to determine health professionals' current practices when screening for depression in older adult community dwellers. Evidence Review: A review of research studies published between April 2010 and April 2020 using a university library system and key words specific to factors essential to this review. Findings: Health professionals inconsistently perform depression screening to rule out or determine the risk of diagnosis or after a new diagnosis. Conclusions and Relevance: Health professionals are not routinely screening for depression despite possible impacts on outcomes. More evidence is needed to promote depression screening in health care for improved patient outcomes.
