Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare the prevalence and predictors of depression in Taiwanese and American older patients with arthritis.

DESIGN AND METHODS: A secondary analysis was conducted to assess 151 Taiwanese and 70 American arthritic patients in Taipei, Taiwan and Chicago, USA.

FINDINGS: The prevalence of depression of Taiwanese and American older arthritic patients was 34% and 40%, respectively. Depression was explained by life satisfaction and functional ability in Taiwanese patients, and by life satisfaction and level of pain in American patients.

PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Nurses should assess patients' level of pain and functional ability, as well as their life satisfaction and depression.
