简要总结
Depression is one of the most common mood disorders in old age, and yet it is frequently under-detected and under-treated. Adopting a train-the-trainer approach, this project intends to utilize the dance movement therapy (DMT), as intervention, to support elderly people with depressive symptoms.
详细描述
In the present project, two evaluation studies will be conducted. The first study will evaluate the effectiveness of a train-the-trainer approach provided to frontline art development officers who will subsequently conduct interventions for the elderly. A participatory train-the-trainer approach will be adopted to develop a new intervention protocol by integrating body-movement therapeutic elements and a spiritual well-being enhancement group. In the second study, a quasi-experimental design will be adopted to examine the effectiveness of the Movement-based x 'Elderspirituality - Fu Le Mun Sum' intervention to support elderly people with depressive symptoms.

结局指标
主要结局
Spirituality Scale for Chinese Elders (SSCE)
时间窗: 4 months
SSCE is a self-rated instrument that consists of 44 items to assess spiritual well-being among Chinese elders, covering 8 core elements: (1) meaning of life, (2) spiritual well-being, (3) transcendence, (4) relationship with self, (5) relationship with family, (6) relationship with others (friends and people around you), (7) relationship with the environment, and (8) relationship with life and death. Responses are rated on a 5-point Likert scale with scores ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (always) to measure the frequency of a certain perception or behaviour.
次要结局
- The 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15)(4 months)
- The 5-level EQ-5D version (EQ-5D-5L)(4 months)
