This is a single-centre, uncontrolled descriptive survey documenting the prevalence of poor sleep quality in 70 elderly outpatients with depression using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The study reports that 97% (68/70) met criteria for poor sleep quality but provides no comparison group, no aetiological analysis, and no intervention or outcome data. The findings serve primarily to characterise the clinical profile in one setting and do not establish causation, efficacy, or generalisable associations.
Descriptive cross-sectional survey. Elderly patients with depression attending the Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic of Bhayangkara Hospital Kediri, Indonesia; specific age threshold, comorbidities, or prior treatment history not specified.. Intervention: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire assessment. n = 70. Bhayangkara Hospital Kediri, Indonesia.
68 respondents (97%) were categorized as having poor sleep quality with PSQI global score >5 2 respondents (3%) demonstrated good sleep quality with PSQI global score ≤5 Depression level classified as mild in 89% and moderate in 11% of elderly patients

This descriptive finding documents high prevalence of poor sleep in depressed elderly outpatients but does not establish whether sleep disturbance is a symptom of depression, an independent comorbidity, or a treatment-modifiable target. The result should prompt screening for sleep dysfunction in this population but does not guide intervention or prognosis.

Background: Sleep disturbances commonly occur in elderly patients with depression. Determining the level of depression and the profile of sleep disturbances is crucial in establishing appropriate therapy because the causes are multifactorial. Objective: This study aimed to determine the level of depression and describe the sleep quality of elderly patients with depression at the Psychiatric Outpatient Unit of Bhayangkara Hospital Kediri. Methods: This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was administered to elderly patients with depression to assess their sleep quality. Data were collected from patients attending follow-up visits at the Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic of Bhayangkara Hospital Kediri between May and October 2025. A total of 70 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Results: The PSQI questionnaire data showed that the majority of respondents with depression had poor sleep quality. Cumulatively, 68 respondents (97%) were categorized as having poor sleep quality with a global score >5, while only 2 respondents (3%) demonstrated good sleep quality with a global score ≤5. Conclusion: The level of depression among elderly patients receiving treatment at the outpatient unit was mostly classified as mild (89%) and moderate (11%). A total of 97% of elderly patients with depression reported poor sleep quality, characterized by difficulty initiating sleep, reduced sleep duration, and decreased sleep efficiency, which interfered with daytime activities.
