ABSTRACT

El objetivo del estudio es conocer la prevalencia de soledad y aislamiento social en mayores de 65 años en Ourense y sus factores asociados. Métodos: estudio descriptivo trasversal, muestra aleatoria de personas mayores de 65 años a las que se realizó una entrevista entre junio de 2010 y junio de 2011. Tamaño muestral: 486 pacientes (soledad estimada del 35%). Se administró la escala OARS-MFAQ (Olders American Resource and Services Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire), que recoge variables sociodemográficas, recursos sociales, económicos, salud física, mental y la capacidad para llevar a cabo actividades básicas de la vida diaria (ABVD) y actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria (AIVD). Se les hizo la pregunta «¿Se encuentra usted sola/solo?», con cuatro posibles respuestas: siempre, a menudo, casi nunca, nunca. Resultados: se entrevistó a 572 personas de una edad media de 79 años (desviación estándar [DE]: 6,79). Soledad: 32,7%; vive sola/solo: 17%; sin contacto semanal: 18,9%; aislamiento social: 1,4%. Fueron factores asociados a la percepción de soledad: ser mujer, tener pensión y nivel educativo bajos, depresión, deterioro cognitivo, pérdida de visión, dependencia para las AVBD, tomar psicofármacos en los 6 meses previos y la necesidad de mejoras en la vivienda. La práctica de ejercicio regular constituyó un factor protector. Conclusiones: la soledad en nuestra población es similar a la descrita en otros ámbitos, se asocia a desigualdad de género, factores sociales y demográficos, depresión y deterioro cognitivo. Los profesionales de Atención Primaria deben identificarla y abordarla.(AU)


The aim of this research is to ascertain the prevalence of loneliness and social isolation in people aged over 65 in Ourense and its associated factors. Methods: descriptive cross-sectional study, random sample of people aged over 65 interviewed between June 2010 and June 2011. Sample size was 486 patients (estimated loneliness 35%). The OARS (Olders American Resource and Services Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire) scale was administrated. This includes sociodemo-graphic variables, socio-economic resources, physical and mental health and the ability to undergo BADL and IADL. The question “are you alone?” with four possible answers was also posed. Results: a total of 572 people were interviewed, aged on average 79 years old (SD: 6.79). Loneliness 32.7%; living alone 17.0%; no weekly contacts 18.9%; social isolation (living alone + no contacts) 1.4%. Feelings of loneliness were associated with sex (women), low pension and educational level, depression, cognitive impairment, vision loss, dependence for BADL, psychopharmacological treatment in the previous six months and the need for home improvements. Regular physical exercise was a protective factor. Conclusions: loneliness in our population is similar to the one reported in other areas. It is associated with sex inequalities, social and demographic factors, depression and cognitive impairment. Primary care professionals need to identify and tackle loneliness.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Informal care affects the quality of life and emotional health. Objective: To analyze the relationship between burden and depression in caregivers measured by Zarit's Scale and GHQ-28 and the global functional deterioration of the elderly measured by OARS-MFAQ. METHODS: Descriptive observational cross-sectional study in Primary Health Care at Ourense city. 104 people (>65 years old) and their caregivers were interviewed. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the characteristics that increase the probability to suffer burden and depression. RESULTS: 82.7% of caregivers were women with an average age of 63.64 years (95% CI: 61.05-66.23) and 10.3% were over 80 years old. 32.2% had an overload, associated with taking care of younger people (p=0.043), being a couple of an elder (p=0.003) being older (p=0.031) and the risk of depression which were all found as factors associated with burden, measured by GHQ (p<0.001). Having good perception of the vision (p=0.038), rejecting the use of a cane (p=0.002) or wheelchair (p=0.015) were also associated with factors contributing to burden. CONCLUSIONS: Informal caregivers are women around their sixties, and although they do not feel overburdened for caring, they have depression, more likely the more severe the burden is, and it is related with the perception of economic deficiencies for the caring.


OBJETIVO: Los cuidados informales afectan a la calidad de vida y a la salud emocional. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación entre la carga y la depresión en los cuidadores/as medida con Escala de Zarit y GHQ-28 y el deterioro funcional global del anciano medido mediante OARS-MFAQ. METODOS: Estudio transversal descriptivo por entrevistas a 104 personas mayores de 65 años y sus cuidadores/as informales en la ciudad de Ourense. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y una regresión logística de las variables que influyen en la depresión y la sobrecarga por cuidar ancianos. RESULTADOS: El 82,7% de cuidadores/as eran mujeres con edad media de 63,64 años (IC 95%: 61,05-66,23) y el 10,3% mayor de 80 años. El 32,2% presentaba sobrecarga encontrándose como factores asociados a la misma, cuidar de ancianos más jóvenes (p=0,043), ser pareja del anciano (p=0,003), tener mayor edad (p=0,031) y el riesgo de depresión medida con GHQ (p<0,001). Tener buena percepción de la visión (p=0,038), rechazar el uso de bastón (p=0,002) o silla de ruedas (p=0,015) también se asoció con la sobrecarga. CONCLUSIONES: Las cuidadoras informales son mujeres en torno a 60 años. Aunque no sientan sobrecarga por cuidar, tienen depresión, que es más probable cuanto más severa es la carga y esta se relaciona con la percepción de carencias económicas básicas para el cuidado.

ABSTRACT

No está bien definida el tipo de asistencia especializada que deben dar los hospitales comarcales. Paraevaluar diferentes opciones, se analizó retrospectivamente la atención neumológica en el año 2008 endos áreas comarcales de Galicia: Barbanza y Cee, con características poblacionales similares. El hospitalde Barbanza dispone de consulta de neumología atendida por especialistas del hospital de referencia 3días/semana, mientras que en Cee la atienden internistas del propio centro. En ambos casos, la hospitalizaciónestá a cargo del servicio de Medicina Interna. Los datos fueron proporcionados por los serviciosadministrativos de los hospitales y autonómicos.Las estancias medias para el agrupador CDM4 fueron similares en los dos comarcales, pero inferioresa las de los centros de referencia. No hubo diferencias en comorbilidad (Charlson) ni en reingresos almes de alta. Se realizaron más exploraciones funcionales en pacientes del Barbanza, tanto en el propiocentro (957 espirometrías vs 21; p < 0,0001) como en el hospital de referencia (214 determinaciones devolúmen/difusión vs 99; p < 0,001). La prevalencia de tratamientos con CPAP fue más elevada en el áreade Barbanza (3,9 vs 2/1.000 habitantes; p < 0,0001). No encontramos diferencias en la prevalencia deoxigenoterapia ni en ventilación mecánica domiciliaria. La mortalidad por patología respiratoria el año2007 fue similar en las dos áreas.Estos datos sugieren que en un modelo de hospital comarcal con neumólogos consultores, la consultaambulatoria facilita el acceso a una asistencia más especializada, más completa y, probablemente, de máscalidad, que los comarcales sin este tipo de consultoría(AU)


Specialised medical care at district hospitals has not been thoroughly defined. Respiratory care data from2008 in Barbanza and Cee hospitals (Galicia, Spain), were analysed to evaluate different approaches,as they are both similar. Barbanza hospital has a chest diseases clinic run by specialist doctors fromthe reference hospital three days per week, while Cee hospital is operated by the staff on site. In bothcases hospitalisation is the responsibility of the Internal Medicine department. Data was provided by theadministrative departments of each hospital and the regional government.Average CDM4 stays were similar for both district hospitals; however, they were lower than in thereference hospital. Charlson scores and re-admissions a month after discharge were similar in both.Barbanza’s hospital carried out more functional explorations, both at the centre (957 spirometries vs21; P<.0001) and at the reference hospital (214 volume/diffusion tests vs 99; P<.001). CPAP treatments were more prevalent in the Barbanza area (3.9 vs 2/1,000 habitants; P<.0001). No differences were foundin oxygen therapy and home mechanical ventilation. Mortality due to respiratory disease in 2007 wassimilar in both regions.Data suggests that in a district hospital scheme supported by chest disease consultants and outpatientclinics gives easier access to specialised, comprehensive and probably, higher quality care than districthospitals without them(AU)

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: La satisfacción del paciente es un importante indicador de calidad de la atención recibida durante su estancia hospitalaria. El objetivo del estudio es validar al idioma castellano y gallego el instrumento de valoración de cuidados de enfermería The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales (NSNS). Material y método: Estudio transversal. Traducción, adaptación cultural y validación del NSNS. Tiene 3 partes: experiencias con los cuidados de enfermería (26 preguntas, tipo Likert), satisfacción con los cuidados (19 preguntas, tipo Likert) y variables sociodemográficas. Las dos primeras aportan una puntuación global sobre 100. Resultados: Total de entrevistas: 46 (21 gallego/25 castellano), con un 77% de varones cuya edad media era de 47 años (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 43-51). La estancia media fue de 12 días (IC del 95%, 8-16). No se observaron diferencias entre sexos en la edad, el uso de idioma, el nivel de estudios o la estancia media. En el análisis de fiabilidad realizado en castellano se obtuvieron los siguientes datos: primera parte, alfa de Cronbach = 0,8561, prueba de las dos mitades: alfa1 = 0,8758, alfa2 = 0,6244; segunda parte, alfa de Cronbach = 0,9754, la prueba de las dos mitades alfa1 = 0,9648, alfa2 = 0,9486. En el realizado en gallego los datos fueron: primera parte, alfa de Cronbach = 0,9280, las dos mitades: alfa1 = 0,8696, alfa2 = 0,8556; segunda parte, alfa de Cronbach = 0,9785, dos mitades alfa1 = 0,9702, alfa2 = 0,9558. Conclusiones: Tras el proceso de traducción y adaptación cultural se han obtenido 2 instrumentos conceptualmente equivalentes, tanto en castellano como en gallego. Permiten incorporar la opinión del enfermo hacia los cuidados e implicar de una forma directa al personal en su mejora


Introduction: Patient satisfaction with nursing care is an important indicator of the quality of care received during hospitalization. The objective of this study was to describe the adaptation and validation of the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scales (NSNS) to Spanish and Galician. Material and method: A cross sectional study of the translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the NSNS was performed. The scale has three subscales: experiences of nursing care (26 Likert-like items), patient satisfaction (19 Likert-like items), and sociodemographic variables. The first two subscales are given an overall score with a potential range of 0-100. Results: Forty-six interviews were carried out (21 Galician/25 Spanish). Seventy-seven percent of the patients were men. The mean age was 47 years (95% CI, 8-16). No differences between sexes were found in age, language, educational level, or mean length of hospital stay. Analysis of the reliability of the Spanish scale: Cronbach's alpha for the first part = 0.8561 and for the two halves: alpha1 = 0.8758, alpha2 = 0.6244; Cronbach's alpha for the second part = 0.9754, and for the two halves: alpha1 = 0.9648, alpha2 = 0.9486. Reliability of the Galician version was: Cronbach's alpha for the first part = 0.9280, and for the two halves: alpha1 = 0.8696, alpha2 = 0.8556; Cronbach's alpha for the second part = 0.9785, and for the two halves: alpha1 = 0.9702, alpha2 = 0.9558. Conclusions: The translation and cultural adaptation to both Spanish and Galician has provided us with a comprehensible and reliable instrument to measure the quality of nursing care. Use of this scale identifies patients' opinions and allows staff to be directly involved in improving nursing care
