The purpose of this study was to examine depression and the related factors in elderly stroke patients. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 106 par tic i pants from the out patients department (OPD) of a teaching hospital in Taipei. The major findings of this study were: (1) Twenty-nine stroke survivors (27.4%) and eight stroke survivors (7.5%) were classifled as having mild depression and mod e r ate to severe depression, respectively. (2) There was no significant difference or correlation between the depression score and demo graphic character is tics, chronicillness condition, or disease character is tics. The depression scores in “worrying about nothing” were significantly lower than the depression scores in “worrying about disease” (t(subscript _)=-4.03, p(subscript _)=.03). (3) There was no significant correlation between the depression score and the Mini-Mental State Examination score, or the Barthel Index score. (4) Social sup port and depression were negatively correlated (?(subscript _)=-.306, p(subscript _)=.001). (5) Multiple regression anal y sis revealed that “worrying about disease,”“ worrying about family,” and informational sup port from family, relatives and friends accounted for 22.1% of the variance in depression. The implications for clinical practice and further studies are suggested.
