Proposal sample: Senior citizens who stay with families and those who stay at nursing 
home.

1. The research was conducted by Maral, Isil et.al on General Health

Questionnaire in the year 2000 on 367 elderly citizens, aged 60, living in 
nursing home residence in Ankara and at their own houses in three villages of 
Golbasi, Turkey. The result shows the scores were higher for those living in 
nursing homes compared to those living at home. (MARAL, et al., 2012)

2. The research was conducted on Depression in Institutionalised and Non-

Institutionalised Elderly by S. Venkatesan and Anupama Ravindranath using 
the General Health Questionnaire in the year 2011. The sample consisted of 
120 elderly/senior citizens with an age range of 60-70 in India. The result 
showed the most affected senior citizens are those who are institutionalised. (S. 
Venkatesan, 2011)

I intend to study the psychological morbidity of senior citizens who stay with families and 
those who stay in nursing homes using General Health Questionnaire as most of the elderly 
suffer from loneliness due to lack of companionship and depression as they are left in nursing 
homes or old age homes which might affect the individual’s mental health.
