Present about post-stroke depression is common, affecting one third of stroke survivors. Elderly with poststroke depression are at a higher risk for suboptimal recovery, recurrent vascular events, poor quality of life, and mortality. The objective was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of post-stroke depression in elderly patients. A cross- sectional descriptive study was conducted at the National Geriatric Hospital in 2019 with 187 participants aged 60 and older who were diagnosed with post-stroke depression. Depression is assessed by the Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-15). The prevalence of post-stroke depression in elderly patients was 61.96%. In particular, mild depression was 30.48%, moderate depression was 17.65% and severe depression was 12.83%. The most frequent manifestations of depression were “Feel not full of energy” (82.9%), “Feel have more problems with memory than most people” (60.4%). Depression manifestation with the least frequency was “Feel that your situation is hopeless” (13.4%). The prevalence of post-stroke depression in elderly patients at the National Geriatric Hospital was high. Health care staffs and family need to pay more attention to the mental health aspects of patients, regularly evaluate and screen for early detection of post-stroke depression.
