Objectives: Hospitalization is a stressful event that may lead to deterioration in older adults' mental health. Drawing on the stress-buffering hypothesis, we examined whether family support during hospitalization would moderate the relations between level of independence and in-hospital depressive symptoms.
Method: This research was a secondary analysis of a cohort study conducted with a sample of 370 hospitalized older adults.
