Help-seeking for psychological distress (items from the Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly) was analyzed using ordinal and logistic regression models as a function of increased anxiety symptoms (Geriatric Anxiety Inventory-Short Form ≥ 3), as well as relevant socio-demographic and health-related covariates.Results:N = 155 (18.1% of the sample) reported having experienced psychological distress recently and were thus included in the analysis. Among those, 26.5% reported experiencing increased anxiety symptoms. On a descriptive level, 76.8% sought informal, 29.0% sought formal, and 18.1% sought no help for psychological distress. In covariate-adjusted regression models, increased anxiety was significantly associated with increased use of informal support (OR: 2.92, 95% CI: 1.31-6.48), but was neither associated with formal (OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.26-1.97) nor no help-seeking (OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.08-1.05).Conclusion: A large proportion of those experiencing psychological distress sought support from informal sources in this study. Anxiety symptoms in the oldest old were associated with the increased use of informal support, but not formal support or no help-seeking. Training and support for people providing informal help to those with mental health problems should be promoted to reduce a possible burden.
