Samenvatting

Achtergrond

Om nieuwe inzichten te verkrijgen voor de zorg aan ouderen met somberheid, hebben we onderzocht welke opvattingen ‘screenpositieve’ ouderen hebben over oorzaken en oplossingen voor somberheid.

Methode

Afname van twee diepte-interviews bij 38 deelnemers (≥77 jaar) die op een screeningsvragenlijst in de huisartspraktijk aangaven gevoelens van somberheid te ervaren. Om de invloed van complexe problematiek te onderzoeken, werden zowel ouderen met (n = 19) als zonder complexe problemen (n = 19) geïncludeerd. Complexe problematiek werd gedefinieerd als een combinatie van functionele, somatische, psychologische en/of sociale problemen.

Resultaten

Alle deelnemers gebruikten diverse cognitieve, sociale en praktische copingstrategieën. Vier patronen kwamen naar voren: mastery, acceptatie, ambivalentie en behoefte aan steun. Vooral deelnemers met complexe problemen waren ambivalent over mogelijke interventies.

Conclusies

De meeste ouderen beschouwen hun coping als voldoende. De huisarts kan zelfmanagement ondersteunen door de (effectiviteit van de) individuele coping te bespreken, informatie te verstrekken over alternatieve interventiemogelijkheden en met ouderen hun percepties op risico’s te bespreken.
