Effectiveness of multimodal intervention for depression, self-esteem, and quality of life among elderly people residing at selected old age homes in Jalandhar, Punjab

Quick takeaway

This institutional randomized trial used a structured multimodal package and reported improvements in depression, self-esteem, and quality of life over follow-up.

Why this matters

Useful for residential and facility-linked elder care because it turns psychosocial prevention into a structured program.

Key caution

Because the intervention ran in old-age homes, the delivery model may need adaptation for community-dwelling older adults.
