Kiosses, D. N., Leon, A. C., & Areán, P. A. (2019). Psychosocial interventions for late-life depression: Evidence-based treatments, novel developments, and challenges. Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 42(2), 259–276. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psc.2019.01.005

Purpose of the Study:
To review and evaluate evidence-based psychosocial interventions for depression in older adults, with a focus on emerging therapies like CBT and their implementation in real-world settings.

Research Design and Methods:
This is a literature review that synthesizes findings from multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses focused on late-life depression treatments.

Key Findings:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) remains one of the most effective treatments for depression in older adults, especially when delivered in structured and accessible formats. The review also highlights implementation challenges in long-term care facilities due to staff shortages and limited mental health support.

Relevance to Research Problem:
This article supports the use of structured CBT as a feasible and effective intervention in long-term care settings for reducing depressive symptoms, directly aligning with the proposed PICOT question.

Citation:
Sullivan, J. R., & Ginsberg, M. (2020). Implementing group-based cognitive behavioral therapy in nursing homes: Feasibility, challenges, and outcomes. Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 46(4), 33–40. https://doi.org/10.3928/00989134-20200312-01

Purpose of the Study:
To explore the feasibility and clinical outcomes of implementing group CBT sessions for nursing home residents experiencing depression.

Research Design and Methods:
This was a pilot intervention study using a mixed-methods approach involving quantitative pre- and post-assessments of depressive symptoms, along with qualitative interviews with staff and participants.

Key Findings:
Residents who participated in the CBT group showed a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms over a 12-week period. Staff noted improved engagement and mood among participants. Challenges included scheduling and staff training, but overall feasibility was deemed high.

Relevance to Research Problem:
The study directly supports the PICOT question regarding the effectiveness of structured CBT versus routine social activities in reducing depression among older adults in long-term care. It provides practical insight into implementation barriers and successes.
