[A statistical approach to Yatabe-Guilford personality inventory and manifest anxiety scale of the elderly].
In nursing, if we know an elderly person's mental condition, and that which does not make him/her too tired, this method can be very useful. Using this method we predicted the MAS score from scores of Y-G scales. We obtained the MAS score results by the following formula: MAS score not equal to 0.31 X Lack of objectivity +0.41 X Inferiority feelings -0.15 X Ascendance +0.34 X Y-G Nervousness +0.30 X Y-G Depression +9.54.
