Depression severity and neuropsychiatric symptoms among nursing home residents with late-life depression: a moderated mediation model of sleep quality and resilience

Our findings indicate that both sleep quality and resilience significantly influence the relationship between depression severity and NPS. These results underscore the importance of improving sleep quality and strengthening resilience as potential strategies to reduce the incidence of NPS in patients with LLD. Future intervention studies should specifically focus on enhancing sleep quality and resilience in this vulnerable population.
