We analysed older adults who participated in a community health survey (n = 1025). Participants selected meaningful activities from the 95-item Aid for Decision-Making in Occupation Choice and rated their satisfaction on a five-point scale. Depression symptoms were assessed using the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale. Grave visitation ranked fourth among all activities and was the most frequently chosen social activity. Higher satisfaction with grave visitation was associated with a significantly lower prevalence of depression, particularly in the hopelessness dimension. After adjusting for potential covariates in a Poisson regression analysis, satisfaction with grave visitation was significantly related to depression symptoms (prevalence ratio,.58; 95% confidence interval,.35–.96). Discussing beliefs about the deceased and ancestors and helping to increase satisfaction with grave visitation may help alleviate depressive symptoms. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
