Design and Methods: Data including depressive symptoms assessed by the Hamilton Rating Scale of Depression (HAMD), geriatric depression scale (GDS), perceived stress scale (PSS), multidimensional scale for perceived social support, and the EQ-5D scale were collected at baseline and at 3-month follow-up from 264 participants. Findings: After controlling for covariates, time, GDS, PSS, HAMD, and living alone were confirmed predictors for change of EQ-5D scores. Practice Implications: Perceived stress is important, and intervention to reduce stress especially in early treatment of depressive disorder should be encouraged.NursingArticleSCOPUS10.1111/ppc.128952-s2.0-851083795521744616334159608
