ABSTRACT

Introduction: Due to the aging of the population, nursing processes have been adapted to these patients, who require a high level of care and guidance. Objective: Analyzing the degree of dependence on nursing care by elderly patients (65 years or older) with femur fractures. Materials and Methods: retrospective, with a quantitative approach, carried out in a private hospital from April 2021 to April 2022. The sample comprehends 41 patients, analyzed epidemiological data and degree of dependence Study of nursing care during hospitalization, environment of hospitalization and discharge, according to the SCP. Results: Composed of 41 patients, mean age of 84 years and female predominance (75.61%). With regard to fractures, there was a greater occurrence due to falls from standing height and predominance of neck fractures, with an average time until surgery of less than 16 hours. Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus were predominant. The average of the SCP estimates presented 24.26 in the 1st, 26.12 in the 2nd and 26.24 in the 3rd. The length of hospital stay was 7 days and no deaths were reported. Discussion: The findings on sociodemographic data, reasons for falls, location, comorbidities, degree of dependence and length of hospital stay are similar to those available in databases. They differ, in better quality, under time until surgery and clinical. Conclusions: The study presents specific knowledge to carry out the care of the intra-hospital nursing process, thus allowing the systematization of the team's assistance.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar a gestão do cuidado à pessoa idosa hospitalizada na perspectiva da enfermagem gerontológica. Método: estudo qualitativo, de natureza exploratória-descritiva, realizado entre os meses de maio e junho de 2022, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 18 enfermeiros não especialistas em gerontologia que atuam em serviços que atendem pessoas idosas em um hospital universitário do Rio de Janeiro. As entrevistas foram realizadas após a aprovação do Comitê de Ética, transcritas e submetidas à análise temático-categorial de Bardin. Resultados: os enfermeiros apresentam lacunas no conhecimento gerontológico, gerando insegurança na gestão do cuidado à pessoa idosa hospitalizada. Considerações finais: os enfermeiros generalistas ou especialistas em áreas do conhecimento diferentes da gerontologia demonstram limitações para a gestão do cuidado à pessoa com demandas gerontológicas. Faz-se necessária uma reestruturação curricular dos Cursos de Graduação em Enfermagem, bem como ampliar a inserção do especialista em enfermagem gerontológica nos espaços de internação com pacientes idosos


Objective: To analyze the management of care for hospitalized elderly people from the perspective of gerontological nursing. Method: qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study, carried out between the months of 2022 May and June, through semi-structured interviews with 18 nurses who are not specialists in gerontology, and work in services that assist elderly people in a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Results: Nurses have gaps in gerontological knowledge, generating insecurity in the management of care for hospitalized elderly people. Final considerations: Nurses who are general practitioners or specialists in areas of knowledge other than gerontology demonstrate limitations in managing care for people with gerontological demands. It is necessary to restructure the curriculum of undergraduate nursing courses, as well as to expand the insertion of specialists in gerontological nursing in hospitalization spaces with elderly patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à deglutição em idosos hospitalizados. Métodos Estudo transversal analítico e observacional. Participaram 52 idosos internados em clínica médica de um hospital público no Distrito Federal. Foram aplicados os instrumentos Eating Assessment Tool e o Quality of Life in Swallowing Disordens, além de coleta de dados sociodemográficos e condições de saúde. Resultados Dos idosos participantes 30,8% apresentaram risco de disfagia autorrelatada. Os idosos com risco de disfagia apresentaram menor pontuação no domínio "tempo de se alimentar" e maior pontuação no domínio de "saúde mental". O único domínio que não houve diferença estatística no padrão de resposta dos participantes que apresentaram ou não risco de disfagia foi o domínio sono. Entre as variáveis dos 11 domínios do Quality of Life in Swallowing Disordens foi possível observar correlações positivas em sua maioria com diferentes graus. Conclusão A qualidade de vida relacionada à deglutição de idosos hospitalizados está diretamente manifestada com a diminuição do convívio social, aumento do tempo para se alimentar, medo e fardo.

El único dominio en el que no hubo una diferencia estadística en el tipo de respuesta de los participantes que presentaron o no riesgo de disfagia fue el del dominio sueño. Entre las variables de los 11 dominios del Quality of Life in Swallowing Disordens se observaron mayormente correlaciones positivas en diferentes niveles. Conclusión La calidad de vida relacionada con la deglución de adultos mayores hospitalizados está directamente manifestada con la reducción de la convivencia social, el aumento de tiempo para alimentarse, el miedo y la carga.


Abstract Objective To evaluate swallowing-related quality of life in hospitalized elderly patients. Methods Cross-sectional analytical and observational approach was used in our study. Fifty-two elderly patients in a medical clinic of a public hospital in Distrito Federal [Federal District] participated. In addition to collecting sociodemographic and health condition data, the Eating Assessment Tool and the swallowing-related quality of life Questionnaire were applied. Results Of the elderly participants, 30.8% had a self-reported risk of dysphagia. The elderly at risk for dysphagia had lower scores in the "eating duration" domain and higher scores in the "mental health" domain. The only domain in which there was no statistical difference in the response pattern of the participants who were, or were not at risk for dysphagia was the "sleep domain." Among the variables of the 11 domains of the Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire, mostly positive correlations were found, with different degrees. Conclusion The swallowing-related quality of life of hospitalized elderly patients is directly manifested as decreased social interaction, increased eating time, fear to eat, and swallowing as a burden.

Busca realizada em fevereiro de 2022 através da aplicação de estratégia de busca em portais e bases de dados eletrônicas, como a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, o PubMed/MEDLINE e o Web of Science. Resultados: a busca resultou em 965 artigos. Após retirada de duplicatas, 583 tiveram títulos e resumos lidos. Respeitados critérios de elegibilidade, chegou-se a 127 estudos para leitura completa, dos quais 110 foram excluídos e 17 analisados, totalizando amostra de 6.170 pacientes. Foram incluídos estudos com pacientes ≥ 60 anos de idade, tratamento clínico, avaliação de fatores de risco para delirium; e excluídos estudos que utilizaram instrumentos não validados, relatos de casos, teses, monografias, artigos de revisão ou que não responderam à questão de pesquisa. Os fatores de risco mais encontrados foram a presença de déficit cognitivo e demência. Outros fatores também encontrados foram: idade avançada, presença de febre/infecção, desidratação, déficit funcional, uso de psicotrópicos antes do internamento, severidade das doenças de base, polifarmácia, déficit visual, dor ao repouso, presença de diabetes mellitus , fragilidade e tempo de internamento na emergência. Conclusões: os estudos apontam diversos fatores de risco associados ao delirium e destacam a relevância do reconhecimento do delirium pela equipe assistencial. Ação rápida e eficaz na prevenção do delirium em idosos depende da sua identificação. A equipe de saúde deve estar atenta durante o cuidado de populações vulneráveis para que o rastreio de sinais, muitas vezes flutuantes, seja facilitado.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Patients with low back pain frequently undergo a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, but some of these have uncertain effectiveness. This highlights the importance of the association of healthcare services and therapeutic measures relating to disability. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the use of healthcare services and therapeutic measures among Brazilian older adults with disability-related low back pain. DESIGN AND SETTING: Observational cross-sectional study on baseline assessment data from the Back Complaints in the Elders - Brazil (BACE-B) cohort. METHODS: The main analyses were based on a consecutive sample of 602 older adult participants in BACE-B (60 years of age and over). The main outcome measurement for disability-related low back pain was defined as a score of 14 points or more in the Roland Morris Questionnaire. RESULTS: Visits to doctors in the previous six weeks (odds ratio, OR = 1.82; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.22-2.71) and use of analgesics in the previous three months (OR = 1.57; 95% CI 1.07-2.31) showed statistically significant associations with disability-related low back pain. The probability of disability-related low back pain had an additive effect to the combination of use of healthcare services and therapeutic measures (OR = 2.57; 95% CI 1.52-4.36). The analyses showed that this association was significant among women, but not among men. CONCLUSIONS: Occurrence of the combined of consultations and medication use was correlated with higher chance of severe disability among these elderly people with nonspecific low back pain. This suggested that overuse and "crowding-in" effects were present in medical services for elderly people.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Physical frailty has been considered a risk factor for certification of long-term care needs (hereafter referred to as Certification) under Japan’s long-term care insurance (LTCI). Therefore, assessment of frailty in elders should be studied from multiple perspectives. The Kihon Checklist (KCL) is widely used to identify need for support/care among Japanese older adults. This study aims to examine the relationship between changes in KCL items and Certification among Japan’s young-old and old-old.Material and Methods: The KCL responses of 7,092 participants were assessed in April 2012 and March 2016, along with gender, age, and living environment. Deaths, Certifications, and relocations were tracked until March 2018. Changes in KCL items were categorized as bad, worse, improved, or good.Results: Between March 2016 and March 2018, about 7.3% of respondents obtained Certifications. KCL item changes increased the risk of new Certification for bad and worse groups, while improved cognitive function among the old-old possibly reduced the risk of new Certification.Conclusion: Therefore, rather than administering the KCL once, identifying KCL changes among people at risk could help prevent or delay their need for long-term care.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este estudo objetivou compreender a importância de narrar e transmitir experiência a partir da memória do velho e do lugar de pária que lhe é destinado no modo de produção do capitalismo. Parte de estudos realizados pela psicóloga social Ecléa Bosi e por Benjamin. São discutidos dois elementos presentes nas experiências relatadas pela autora e que estão presentes no conceito de história já elaborado por Benjamin: a importância da rememoração e da redenção messiânica. A relevância de narrar as experiências diz respeito ao que se apresenta predominantemente nas memórias colhidas: a transmissão das possibilidades não realizadas. Analisa-se como a forma de trabalho flexível do capitalismo violenta a possibilidade de construção da memória de si na sua vinculação com a memória do outro ao impor aos sujeitos o desenraizamento e seu efeito desagregador da memória. Por fim, discute-se a urgente necessidade de transformação das condições que geram opressão dos velhos trabalhadores.


Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender la importancia de narrar y transmitir experiencia a partir de la memoria del viejo y del lugar de paria que le es destinado en el modo de producción del capitalismo. Parte de los estudios realizados por la psicóloga social Ecléa Bosi y Walter Benjamin. Se discuten dos elementos presentes en las experiencias relatadas por la autora y que están presentes en el concepto de historia ya elaborado por Benjamin: la importancia de la evocación y de la redención mesiánica. La relevancia de narrar las experiencias se refiere a lo que se presenta predominantemente en las memorias cosechadas: la transmisión de las posibilidades no realizadas. Se analiza cómo la forma de trabajo flexible del capitalismo violenta la posibilidad de construcción de la memoria de sí en su vinculación con la memoria del otro al imponer a los sujetos el desarraigo y su efecto disgregador de la memoria. Por último, se discute la urgente necesidad de transformación de las condiciones que generan opresión de los viejos trabajadores.


Abstract This study aimed to understand the importance of narrating and transmitting experience from the memory of the elder and the place of pariah destined to them in capitalism's mode of production. It has as reference studies carried out by the social psychologist Ecléa Bosi and by Walter Benjamin. Two elements present in the experiences reported by Bosi - which are present in the concept of history already elaborated by Benjamin -, are discussed: the importance of the remembrance and the messianic redemption. The relevance of narrating experiences relates to what is predominantly presented in the collected memories: the transmission of unrealized possibilities. It is analyzed how capitalism's flexible working form violates the possibility of constructing the memory of oneself in its connection with the memory of the other by imposing on people the uprooting and its disintegrating effect of memory. Finally, it discusses the urgent need to transform the conditions that generate oppression of the old workers.

ABSTRACT

Geriatric mental health issues have yet to receive their due recognition in India. Geriatric mental health is plagued by many challenges that prevent the development and progress of its services. The present article is a narrative review that looks at the various challenges faced by geriatric mental health in India. The article describes different specific and general unique challenges faced by geriatric mental health and discusses in detail the nature of each challenge and what must be done to overcome it. The challenges range from demography of Indian aging to sexual issues in the elderly, geriatric depression, dementia care, and the aging lesbian, gay, bisexual, cross-dressers and transgender community. Old age people face special physical and mental health challenges in routine life which are necessary to be recognized and rehabilitate. Mental health problems are often under identified or overlooked by themselves, health‑care professionals and even by family members of older people, and the stigma related to mental illness makes people reluctant to seek help. The prevalence of co-morbid condition of illnesses is a powerful demonstration of the link between physical and mental illnesses. Various issues related to policy and research that challenge geriatric mental health are also discussed in this article. The need to incorporate geriatric mental health into primary health care along with the need to train primary care workers and preventive work aimed at suicide prevention in the elderly is stressed. The article addresses these challenges with the aim of positing before the clinician the various challenges faced by geriatric mental health in India in the current era.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a prevalência de fragilidade e pré--fragilidade em idosos longevos atendidos em contexto ambulatorial, e analisar a associação entre as variáveis sociodemográficas, as síndromes da fragilidade e a sarcopenia. Optou-se por um estudo de delineamento transversal e quantitativo com idosos do ambulatório de Geriatria do Instituto de Cardiologia do Distrito Federal, sendo avaliados pelo: questionário de dados sociodemográficos; questionário de autorrelato, que avalia o risco de sarcopenia pelo SARC-F; e a investigação da fragilidade por meio de cinco fenótipos previamente estabelecidos por Fried et al., (2001). Foi utilizado o teste não paramétrico Qui-quadrado para comparação das variáveis qualitativas e o teste t para amostras independentes para os dados quantitativos. Participaram do estudo 71 idosos com média de idade de 84,73± 3,64 anos, 46 (64,8%) mulheres, sendo que, destas, 25 (54,3%) eram frágeis. Em relação aos homens, no total de 25 (35,2%), cinco (20%) foram considerados frágeis. O total de idosos pré-frágeis foi de 14 (57,7%) e frágeis 30 (42,3%). Em relação aos dados de sarcopenia, 18 (25,3%) dos idosos longevos eram sarcopênicos, sendo que 15 (83,3%) destes eram frágeis e três (16,7%) eram pré-frágeis. Do total de 53 (74,6%) não sarcopênicos, 15 (25,4%) apontaram fragilidade. Conclui-se que as mulheres longevas foram mais vulneráveis à síndrome da fragilidade e houve associação significativa entre a síndrome da fragilidade e a sarcopenia (p=0,04). O emprego desses instrumentos e equipamentos de aplicabilidade simples identificaram as síndromes, sendo estes recomendados a serem implantados na prática clínica.(AU)


The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of frailty and pre--frailty in long-lived elderly patients treated in an outpatient setting, and to analyze the association between sociodemographic variables, frailty syndromes and sarcopenia. It was opted for a cross-sectional and quantitative study with elderly people from the Geriatrics outpatient clinic of the Instituto de Cardiologia do Distrito Federal, being evaluated by the sociodemographic data questionnaire, as well as a self-report questionnaire that assesses the risk of sarcopenia by SARC-F and investigation of frailty through five phenotypes previously established by Fried et al., (2001). The non-parametric Chi-square test was used to compare qualitative variables and the t-test for independent samples for quantitative data. The study included 71 elderly people with a mean age of 84.73 ± 3.64 years, 46 (64.8%) women, 25 of whom (54.3%) were frail. In relation to men, a total of 25 (35.2%), where five (20%) were considered frail. The total number of pre-frail elderly was 14 (57.7%), and frail, 30 (42.3%). Regarding the sarcopenia data, 18 (25.3%) of the long-lived elderly were sarcopenic, 15 (83.3%) of whom were frail and three (16.7%) were pre-frail. Of the total of 53 (74.6%) non-sarcopenic, 15 (25.4%) indicated frailty. It was concluded that long-lived women were more vulnerable to frailty syndrome and there was a significant association between frailty syndrome and sarcopenia (p=0.04). The use of these instruments and equipment of simple applicability identified the syndromes and these are recommended to be implanted in clinical practice.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To reveal the Comfort needs as perceived by hospitalized elders, using Kolcaba's theory. Methods: Descriptive and qualitative study, with 11 elders hospitalized in a university hospital, aiming to identify their needs for Comfort. Results: Discourses were categorized in four thematic units: Physical, Environmental, Sociocultural, and Psychospiritual. In the Physical context, several subcategories were found, namely, Symptom Relief; Daily Life Activities; Hygiene and personal care; Diet; Sleep and rest. In the Environmental context, the Comfort was considered to be superior than in the elders' home; in the Sociocultural one, family bonds were found to become more distant, triggering feelings of missing one's family and isolation, in the Psychospiritual context, spirituality and religiosity stood out. Final considerations: The Comfort needs of the hospitalized elders enable one to reflect on nursing care, offering information to improve the quality of assistance and to attend to the real needs of the elderly.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o tipo mais prevalente de abuso aos idosos na Coréia do Sul. Este estudo também analisou que tipo de abuso aos idosos mais afetou a depressão e depois discutiu contramedidas sociais em relação aos tipos prevalentes de abuso aos idosos. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e os dados foram coletados por meio de amostragem por conveniência. Setenta e sete participantes tinham 60 anos ou mais e não tinham deficiência mental ou transtorno depressivo. Cinco tipos diferentes de abuso aos idosos (verbal, emocional, físico, financeiro e negligência) foram medidos, bem como sintomas depressivos. Foi utilizada estatística descritiva para determinar o tipo mais prevalente de abuso aos idosos na Coréia do Sul. Além disso, utilizaram-se testes de correlação bivariada e regressão múltipla para entender a relação entre os tipos de abuso aos idosos e depressão do idoso. Resultados: Entre os cinco tipos de abuso aos idosos, o abuso verbal, emocional e negligência foram mais prevalentes do que os abusos físicos e financeiros. De acordo com a análise bivariada, o abuso emocional e o abuso verbal foram significativamente relacionados à depressão do idoso. Conclusão Os tipos invisíveis de abuso aos idosos, como abuso emocional, verbal e negligência, foram mais prevalentes do que os tipos visíveis, como abuso físico e financeiro. Esses tipos de abuso também foram significativamente correlacionados com a depressão do idoso. Este estudo permite futuros estudos intervencionais para melhorar a percepção dos idosos sobre o abuso e, assim, prevenir o desenvolvimento da depressão dos idosos.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the most prevalent type of elder abuse in S. Korea. This study also examined which type of elder abuse most affected elder depression and then discussed social countermeasures toward the prevalent types of elder abuse. Methods: This was a descriptive study and the data were collected via a convenience sampling method. Seventy-seven study participants were 60 years old or above and did not have mental disabilities or depression disorder. Five different types of elder abuse (verbal, emotional, physical, financial, and neglect) were measured along with their depressive symptoms. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the most prevalent type of elder abuse in S. Korea. Also, bivariate correlation and multiple regression were utilized to understand the relationship between types of elder abuse and elder depression. Results: Among the five types of elder abuse, verbal, emotional, and neglect abuse were more prevalent than physical and financial abuse. According to the bivariate analysis, emotional abuse and verbal abuse were significantly related with elder depression. Conclusion: Invisible types of elder abuse such as emotional, verbal, and neglect abuse were more prevalent than visible types such as financial and physical abuse. These abuse types were also significantly correlated with elder depression. This study warrants future interventional studies to improve elders' perception of elder abuse and thus prevent the development of elder depression.
