- 요약Background: Depression is a significant global health concern, affecting 5% of the population worldwide and up to 29% of Americans. Despite its prevalence, depression is often unrecognized, particularly in outpatient physical therapy settings where its impact on rehabilitation outcomes is substantial. Research suggests that depression can slow recovery, increase pain sensitivity, and decrease adherence to treatment plans. However, screening for depression is not commonly integrated into physical therapy practice.Purpose: This quality improvement project aimed to implement a depression screening protocol in an outpatient physical therapy clinic to enhance early identification of depressive symptoms and improve patient care. Methods: Using the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice, the project introduced the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) as a screening tool over an eight-week period. Physical therapists received training through educational sessions, including role-playing exercises to increase comfort with discussing depression. Screening completion rates and workflow impact were assessed through quantitative data collection and staff feedback.Results: A total of 109 new adult patients were seen during the implementation period, with 80.73% completing the PHQ-2 screening, exceeding the project goal of 40%. Of those screened, 32.58% tested positive for depressive symptoms. Physical therapists reported minimal workflow disruption, with 93.18% of screenings taking less than one minute to complete. The intervention also revealed an unanticipated benefit: some insurance providers extended physical therapy coverage for patients who screened positive for depression.Conclusions: Implementing depression screening in an outpatient physical therapy clinic is feasible, minimally disruptive, and beneficial for identifying at-risk patients. The high prevalence of positive screenings underscores the importance of integrating mental health assessments into routine physical therapy practice. This project highlights the need for broader adoption of depression screening in rehabilitation settings to improve patient outcomes and align with evidence-based practice guidelines.
