Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between the symptom of restless legs syndrome (RLS), somatic symptom, depression, and activities of daily living (ADL) among the elderly.
Methods: A descriptive approach was taken in this study. Data were collected from May 23 to July 5, 2019 and 140 elderly people replied to the questionnaire. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and x2 test.
Results: 48.6% of the respondents had RLS symptom and the severity of RLS symptom was 9.57±11.55. RLS symptom had a positive correlation with depression (r=.538, p<.001), with somatic symptom (r=.528, p<.001), with ADL (r=.308, p<.001), and with IADL (r=.360, p<.001). Depression had the most significant correlation with RLS symptoms. There were significant differences in depression, somatization, ADL, and IADL according to the RLS severity.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that many elders experienced mild to severe RLS symptom. Also, the elderly with RLS symptom had more severe depression, somatic symptom, ADL, and IADL than those without RLS symptom in this study. Depression, somatic symptom, and ADL could be deteriorated if the RLS symptom is not diagnosed early.
