Users respond in a \u201cYes\/No\u201d format. The GDS was originally developed as a 30-item instrument. Since this version proved both time-consuming and difficult for some patients to complete, a 15-item version was developed. The short form (GDS-S) consists of 15 items selected from the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-L). These 15 items were selected because of their high correlation with depressive symptoms in previous validation studies (Sheikh &amp; Yesavage, 1986). Of the 15 items, 10 indicate the presence of depression when answered positively, while the other 5 are indicative of depression when answered negatively. This form can be completed in about 5 to 7 minutes, making it ideal for people who tire easily or have limited ability to concentrate for long periods of time. The 30- and 15-item versions are widely used in caregiving research (e.g., Fauth et al., 2013, and Gaugler et al., 2015, and Gaugler et al., 2014, and Dissanayaka et al., 2017, respectively).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A validation study was conducted by Sheikh and Yesavage (1986) in which the GDS-S was compared with the GDS-L in differentiating depressed from non-depressed patients. Both measures were successful in classifying the 2 populations accurately with a reported correlation of r = .84, p &lt; .001.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Shorter 10-, 4-, and 1-item versions have also been developed. The GDS-S can be used appropriately in various populations (e.g., Luchsinger et al., 2018).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"color-neutral-background-color color-neutral-text-contrast bg-background-color tmpl-text-5 boldgrid-section dynamic-gridblock\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div class=\"container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"boldgrid-section\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"boldgrid-shortcode\" data-imhwpb-draggable=\"true\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\">\n<div class=\"widget wpforms-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0393\u03b7\u03c1\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03ba\u03bb\u03af\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03b8\u03bb\u03b9\u03c8\u03b7\u03c2 \u0397 \u03ba\u03bb\u03af\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1 \u03b3\u03b7\u03c1\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03b8\u03bb\u03b9\u03c8\u03b7\u03c2 (GDS) \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03bc\u03ad\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf \u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03bf\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac\u03c2 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03b8\u03bb\u03b9\u03c8\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c3\u03b5 \u03b7\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03b9\u03c9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03b5\u03c2. \u039f\u03b9 \u03c7\u03c1\u03ae\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd \u03c3\u03b5 \u03bc\u03bf\u03c1\u03c6\u03ae \u201c\u039d\u03b1\u03b9\/\u038c\u03c7\u03b9\u201d. \u03a4\u03bf GDS \u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03c4\u03cd\u03c7\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b5 \u03b1\u03c1\u03c7\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03c9\u03c2 \u03bc\u03ad\u03c3\u03bf 30<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/geriatric\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"bgseo_title":"","bgseo_description":"","bgseo_robots_index":"index","bgseo_robots_follow":"follow","crio-premium-page-header-override":null,"crio-premium-page-header-select":"none","crio-premium-page-header-featured-image-background":"0","crio-premium-page-header-background":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-145","page","type-page","status-publish"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":228,"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/145\/revisions\/228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsam.dreamhosters.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
