 This study is a literature review to identify issues in nursing research in Japan focusing on depression among the elderly, and to identify issues that need to be addressed. We searched literature published from 2003 to 2012 in the Ichushi Web database, and selected 125 articles for further analysis. We used the Matrix Method to organize an overview of the articles. The terms ‘Utsu’ and ‘Yoku-utsu’ were employed to describe depression in many articles without distinguishing symptoms, states, and illnesses. For the subjects of the research, ‘elderly living in the community’ was the most frequently employed term followed by ‘elderly residents in institutions’, and few articles employed terms like ‘hospitalized elderly patients’. For further research, we searched with “Verification of depression evaluations” (indexes for intervention effects and scale verification) and “Depression as an index to understand the conditions of the elderly” (factors related to depression and characteristics of depression among the elderly). Considering the high incidence of depression-related disorders among elderly patients hospitalized in general wards, it is necessary to develop and conduct nursing studies of proactive interventions as well as studies to enable early detection of depressed states and depression as a complication for elderly inpatients.
