abstract: 'Purpose: Stigma and lack of access to providers create barriers to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mental health treatment for older adults living in the community. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
order to address these barriers, we developed and evaluated a peer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support intervention for older adults receiving Medicaid services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design and Methods: Reclaiming Joy is a mental health intervention that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pairs an older adult volunteer with a participant (older adult who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
receives peer support). Volunteers receive training on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strengths-based approach, mental health and aging, goal setting and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attainment, community resources, and safety. Participantvolunteer pairs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
meet once a week for 10 weeks. Participants establish and work toward
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
goals (e.g., better self-care, social engagement) that they feel would
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improve their mental health and well-being. Aging services agencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provide a part time person to manage the program, match volunteers and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants, and provide ongoing support. Outcomes evaluation for this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pilot study included pre/postintervention assessments of participants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Thirty-two participants completed the intervention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pre/postassessment group means showed statistically significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improvement for depression but not for symptoms of anxiety.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quality-of-life indicators for health and functioning also improved for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants with symptoms of both depression and anxiety. Implications:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Reclaiming Joy peer support intervention has potential for reducing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
depression and increasing quality of life in low-income older adults who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have physical health conditions. It is feasible to administer and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sustain the intervention through collaborative efforts with minimal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
program resources and a small amount of technical assistance.'
