520 $a At the present time, elderly individuals represent the fastest growing group in the United States. Within this growing population there are an increasing number of individuals who utilize long-term care services. Among these paid formal long-term care services (e.g., nursing homes, congregate housing, and resident care facilities), assisted living facilities have grown rapidly in recent years. However, a limited number of research has been done on mental health issues among residents in assisted living facilities. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relation between anger and depression and to assess the four predictors of the anger experience (functional impairment, perceived decisional involvement in relocation to an assisted living facility, perceived care from an assisted living facility, and personal control).
520 $a A sample of 82 residents from five assisted living facilities in New Jersey participated in this study. Residents were classified as depressed if they obtained a score of 7 or higher on the Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-SF). Approximately 23% of the current study participants were depressed based on a cut-off of seven. Anger was measured by the Anger-Hostility of the Profile of Mood States (POMS). As predicted, there was a positive relationship between anger and depression. Individuals in this sample who reported experience of anger were also likely to report depressive mood symptoms. Contrary to the study prediction, perceived care was the only significant predictor of anger and the three other predicting variables were not found to be significant predictors of anger experience in this study. In addition, many residents appeared to emphasize their experience with food services and interaction with staff and administration when asked about their perceived care from the assisted living facility. The key to this finding seems to be residents' interpretation of how well they feel they are treated or cared for by those who interact with them daily at their assisted living facilities.
