Abstract: The potential utility of applying a programme for prevention of depression to care providers with significant symptoms of depression was evaluated using a sample of 10 women and 3 men aged 43-82 years (M = 59.9 years; SD = 11.9). The programme consisted of five group sessions. Post-intervention evaluations showed a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms (p .001), social maladjustment (p .001), burden levels (p .05), risk of depression (p .05), and a significant increase in problem-solving skills (p .001). Risk of depression remained lower than pre-intervention levels at follow-up performed 36 weeks after the intervention (p .01). These encouraging results justify further evaluation of the programme using a larger sample.
