ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Mild impairment in activities of daily living (ADL) can occur in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), but the nature and extent of these difficulties need to be further explored. The Canadian occupational performance measure (COPM) is one of the few individualized scales designed to identify self-perceived difficulties in ADL. The present study investigated impairments in ADL using the COPM in elderly with MCI. A total of 58 MCI patients were submitted to the COPM for studies of its validity and reliability. The COPM proved a valid and consistent instrument for evaluating ADL in elderly MCI patients. A total of 74.6% of the MCI patients reported difficulties in ADL. Of these problems, 41.2% involved self-care, 31.4% productivity and 27.4% leisure. This data further corroborates recent reports of possible functional impairment in complex ADL in MCI.


RESUMO A presença de dificuldades leves no desempenho de atividades da vida diária (AVD) pode estar presente no comprometimento cognitivo leve (CCL), mas sua natureza e extensão devem ser melhor exploradas. A medida canadense de desempenho ocupacional (COPM) é uma das poucas escalas individualizadas de autorrelato destinadas a identificar dificuldades no desempenho de AVDs. Este estudo investigou as dificuldades em AVDs através da COPM em idosos com CCL. 58 idosos com CCL foram submetidos à validação da COPM. A COPM se mostrou um instrumento válido e consistente para avaliar desempenho de AVDs em idosos com CCL. 74,6% dos idosos relatou alguma dificuldade no desempenho de AVDs, sendo 41,2% em auto-cuidado, 31,4% na produtividade e de 27,4% no lazer. Estes dados acrescentam evidências à recente literatura em que afirma que há comprometimento nas AVDs em CCL.
