Introduction
Depression is a serious health condition affecting older adults and associates with adverse
outcomes, such as increased mortality and morbidity risk, self-neglect, malnutrition, cognitive
deficiency, sleep complications, and falls. Furthermore, senior patients’ experiences of
depression affect their quality of life and can signal the beginning of other health complications
(Durmaz, 2017). Depression prevalence among older adults entails two percent of adults that are
fifty-five and older because of factors, such as a history of depression, stressful lifeevents,
personality traits, and the absence of close social contracts, functional impairment, cognitive
impairment, and chronic somatic illness (Kok& Reynolds, 2017).
Analysis
Article Summaries.
Reangsing et al. (2020) examine the effects of mindfulness meditation interventions on
depression for senior adults and moderating intervention, method, and participant characteristics.
The authors adopt the evaluation strategy of SPSS for descriptive statistics relative to study
characteristics exploration. Computing standardized, average differences between comparison
groups’ post-test depression and MMI occurs using comprehensive meta-analysis. Tavares &
Barbosa (2018) determine the impact of group psychotherapy on adults aged sixty years and
older compared with no treatment or alternative treatment. Evaluating the intervention’s
effectiveness entailed screening study designs associating with group therapy for geriatric
population paradigms versus no treatment or alternative treatment approaches. Kellner et al.
(2016) confirm the tolerability and efficacy of continuing electroconvulsive therapy and
