ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de las variables consideradas influyentes sobre el nivel de sobrecarga del cuidador. Metodología: El estudio respondió a una modalidad de investigación empírico-analítica, y la metodología que se aplicó en este trabajo utilizó el análisis multivariante y los modelos de regresión logit multinominal. Se realizó en L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), con la participación de 14 profesionales sanitarios y 296 cuidadores informales durante los años 2016 y 2017. La técnica de muestreo seleccionada fue la de muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. El cuestionario utilizado para este estudio fue un instrumento diseñado ad hoc y con solidez psicométrica demostrada, conocido como CESC (Cuestionario de Evaluación de Sobrecarga del Cuidador). Resultados: El análisis factorial mediante componentes principales permitió agrupar las 16 variables estudiadas en 5 factores: “expresión emocional”, “calidad de vida”, “deterioro funcional y cognitivo”, “red de apoyo” y “desarrollo social”. El resultado explicó el 58,99% de la varianza. Posteriormente se construyó un modelo de regresión logística multinomial, se incorporó como variable dependiente el nivel de sobrecarga del cuidador, y como variables independientes los síntomas y predictores de sobrecarga que componen cada factor. Conclusiones: Destaca la importancia de las variables en el nivel de sobrecarga del cuidador, con la preeminencia del factor emocional. Se determinó que los sistemas de apoyo juegan un papel importante en el desempeño del rol del cuidador (AU)


Objective: To evaluate the effect of each of the considered influential variables on the level of caregiver overload. Methodology he study was based on empirical and analytical research. Multivariate analysis and multinominal logit regression models were used. It was made in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), involving 14 health professionals and 296 informal carers during 2016 and 2017. A technique of “non-probabilistic sampling for convenience” was selected. The questionnaire used for this study was an ad hoc designed instrument and with proven psychometric strength, known as CESC (Caregiver Overload Assessment Questionnaire). Results: Factorial analysis through main components allowed grouping the 16 variables studied in 5 factors: “emotional expression”, “quality of life”, “functional and cognitive deterioration”, “support network” and “social development”. The result explained 58.99% of the variance. Subsequently, a multinomial logistic regression model was constructed, was incorporated as a dependent variable the overload caregiver level, and as independent variables the symptoms and predictors of overload that compose each factor. Conclusions: Highlights the importance of the variables in the level of caregiver overload, with the pre-eminence of the emotional factor. It was determined that the support systems are important in the role of the caregiver (AU)

ABSTRACT

Frecuentemente el personal de enfermería se encuentra que al ingreso de un anciano la transmisión de información es deficiente o escasa para el abordaje integral e individualizado de éste. Con el objetivo de salvaguardar este problema y mejorar la continuidad asistencial de los ancianos dados de alta a su domicilio o trasladados a otro centro asistencial, el equipo de enfermería de la Residencia Clínica “Los Robles” ha elaborado un instrumento de registro que denominamos “Informe de enfermería al alta o traslado de una residencia geriátrica”. En el mismo se pretende recoger de una forma esquemática, ágil y completa la realidad y situación biopsicosocial del anciano garantizando una adecuada transmisión de la información y la continuidad de los cuidados de enfermería. Dicha hoja se elaboró basándonos en gran medida en el Modelo de Necesidades de Virginia Henderson (1). En ella se recogen los aspectos básicos del anciano a través de una serie de ítems cerrados y abiertos, abarcando tanto el estado basal del anciano como los procesos agudos si los hubiere, estando dirigida tanto al personal sanitario del centro asistencial de destino como a los propios cuidadores del anciano en el caso de traslado a domicilio


Introduction: As people get older, certain changes happen in the brain that become even more pronounced when the elderly person falls ill. Therefore it is very important to carry out exercises that stimulate the brain of elderly hospitalised people with special focus on the main cerebral functions of orientation and language. Our aims will be directed towards enhancing, stimulating and exercising two main cognitive functions: orientation and language in their diverse forms. Methods and resources: This work was developed in the San Rafael University hospital in Granada. The activities carried out were of orientation and language. Variables: age, sex, main diagnostic, Barthel Index and the Lobo (MEC) mini cerebral test. Results: The sample is constituted by 20 patients with an average age of 84.5 years old. We can note two main predominances: a greater number of women (75% from the total sample) and significant prevalence of neurological diseases (40%). During the initial MEC, before accomplishing the exercises, 35% of the sample showed a moderate cognitive deterioration, whereas minor deterioration prevailed during the subsequent MEC after the exercises, with a 35%. Within orientation exercises, patients obtained higher marks in the temporal-spatial ones. Concerning language exercises, marks reached an acceptable standard overall. Discussions and conclusions: The aged patients showed an acceptable level in temporal and spatial orientation and verbal repetition. It is essential the periodical practice of stimulating cognitive activities to improve aged patients’ life standards

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to review the changing trends in Adenotonsillectomies performed in San Pablo Medical Center during the last ten years. We have reviewed using a 25 variable questionnaire all patients undergoing this surgical procedure during the first six months in 1983 and compared the information with the patients having this procedure during the first six months of 1993. We conclude that the number of interventions, the indications, prior medical history and cost effects have changed substantially. Our data supports the accuracy of some of the trends being reported in the literature regarding this surgical intervention.
