Introduction: Public health strategies aim to promote and maintain older people's functional capacity for health and well-being. However, little is known about the functional capacity in Colombian older adults. Objective: To describe the functional capacity of institutionalized and non-institutionalized older people in the Social and Health Care Centers of Quindío, Colombia. Method: A descriptive study was designed with a stratified probabilistic sampling of older adults. Functional capacity was assessed with the Barthel Index and the Short Physical Performance Battery. Results: 306 older adults participated in the study. 57.5% of non- institutionalized people attended Day Centers, and 42.5% of the institutionalized population attended Social Protection Centers for the Elderly. 37.6% of the population presented some level of functional dependency, and 64.0% some degree of fragility. Conclusions: The prevalence of frailty in the population participating in social health centers is significantly high, representing an imminent risk of loss of functionality in the short term. It is necessary to design intervention strategies to prevent or delay the appearance of dependence and disability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To map available scientific evidence on rehabilitation in the daily lives of people with postcovid-19 neurological sequelae. Methodology: This is a scoping review according to the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The included studies were based on the mnemonic strategy participants/problem (adult people with neurological sequelae), concept (rehabilitation in everyday life) and context (covid-19 pandemic), with timeframe from 2020 to 2022, available in the seven selected databases, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, collected and analyzed according to PRISMA-ScR. Results: A total of 1,027 studies were recovered, and the sample consisted of 11 articles that presented rehabilitation programs for sequelae: fatigue, anosmia, cognitive and neuropsychological disorders. Among the main rehabilitation programs found, the following stand out: progression walking, breathing exercises; olfactory training using essential oils and cognitive approaches. From the findings, the rehabilitation process has been shown to be effective for the management of post-covid-19 neurological sequelae, and should be started early. Conclusions: Rehabilitation programs should involve a multidisciplinary team, since the disease presents persistent multisystemic symptoms, involving a holistic approach, which encompasses behavioral aspects related to self-care, physical rehabilitation, emotional support and health education, promoting recovery and improving the quality of life of individuals affected by the disease.

ABSTRACT Introduction. As a demographic aging result, societies have experienced effects such as the increase of functional limitations in older adults and high demand for social and health care. The objective is to analyze factors associated with the functional level of daily life activities and socio-family risk factors of older adults in an urban population in Bucaramanga-Colombia. Methodology. Analytical cross-sectional secondary data study. 196 older adults were studied after excluding individuals with incomplete records. The Barthel and the Lawton Index were used for functional status, and Socio-Family Assessment Scale for social risk. The STATA software was used for doing the logistic regression that helped to determine association between variables. Results. Above half of older adults presented functional limitations when performing daily life activities (59.69%). The prevalence of a socio-family risk was 47.45%. Functional limitation was associated with age, cognitive dysfunction and falls risk. Discussion. The study demonstrated lower scores in the Barthel Index and high scores in risk and social problematic situations compared to other studies. Moreover, results support that high blood pressure is a risk factor for functional limitations situations. Conclusion. It is important to continue interventions about health status in older people to identify risk factors, such as cognitive dysfunction, high Falls risk and chronic diseases control. Keywords: Aged; Functional Status; Activities of Daily Living; Social Factors; Geriatrics RESUMEN Introducción. Como consecuencia del envejecimiento demográfico las sociedades han experimentado efectos tales como, el aumento de adultos mayores con limitaciones funcionales y la alta demanda de atención socio sanitaria. El objetivo es analizar los factores asociados al nivel funcional para las actividades de la vida diaria y los factores de riesgo sociofamiliares de los adultos mayores en una población urbana de Bucaramanga, Santander-Colombia. Método. Estudio transversal analítico de datos secundarios, se estudiaron 196 adultos mayores después de excluir a los individuos con registros incompletos. Se utilizó el Índice de Barthel y Lawton para evaluar el estado funcional y la Escala de Evaluación Sociofamiliar para el riesgo social. Se utilizó el software STATA para realizar la regresión logística que ayudó a determinar la asociación entre variables. Resultados. Más de la mitad de los adultos mayores presentaron limitaciones funcionales para realizar actividades de la vida diaria (59.69%). La prevalencia de riesgo sociofamiliar fue 47.45%. La limitación funcional se asoció con la edad, la disfunción cognitiva y el riesgo de caídas. Discusión. El estudio demostró puntajes bajos en el Índice de Barthel y puntajes altos en situaciones de riesgo y problemática social en comparación con otros estudios. Además, los resultados apoyan a la hipertensión arterial como un factor de riesgo para el deterioro funcional. Conclusión. Es importante continuar con intervenciones sobre la salud de los adultos mayores con el fin de identificar factores de riesgo, como la disfunción cognitiva, el riesgo de caídas y el control de enfermedades crónicas.

Se denomina “Deterioro Cognitivo Leve” a un estado transicional entre los cambios cognitivos del envejecimiento normal y un estadio temprano de la demencia. En la actualidad, el constructo deterioro cognitivo leve (DCL) se reconoce como una condición patológica, no como un proceso normal asociado a la edad, y se utiliza específica- mente para referirse a un grupo de individuos que presentan cierto grado de déficit cognitivo cuya severidad resulta insuficiente para cumplir criterios de demencia ya que no presentan un compromiso esencial en las actividades de la vida diaria (1). Originalmente el MCI refería a un déficit de memoria en el contexto de funciones no-amnésicas preservadas (DCL amnésico) pero actualmente el término incluye déficits en otras funciones cognitivas más allá de la memoria. El DCL amnésico es posiblemente un estado precursor de la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Los datos neuropatológicos confirman esta transición del DCL amnésico a enfermedad de Alzheimer.

Everyday activities in space and time have received much research attention in recent years. Geographers are interested in not only the spatial and temporal patterns of people's everyday activities, but also the implications of such activities for social inequality and health outcomes. This study investigates how individuals' weekday and weekend mobility and activities are associated with mental health. We argue that everyday activities play an important role in mental health because of the cognitive and affective processes associated with, not to mention the spatiotemporal exposure incurred by, conducting these activities. Data were collected in 2018 from 1,985 respondents living in thirty neighborhoods of Shanghai, China. Path analysis models are developed to establish links between daily activities and mental health, controlling for sociodemographics and residential location. Results show that mental health differs significantly among people not only of different sociodemographic groups, but also with different daily activity patterns. Weekday and weekend activities are found to have different influences on mental health. This research extends the existing literature on mental health by considering the mental health impacts of individuals' daily activities and travel. The research findings are relevant for developing spatial policy interventions to promote mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Method: Qualitative ethnographic study, with the participation of 13 people to whom in-depth semi-structured surveys were applied. Results: Various popular care activities related to the emotional situation (feelings of anger, sadness, crying, fear, joy, tranquility, worry and despair) emerged, such as listening to music, attending religious events and talking with family members. Conclusions: The popular care activities carried out by pregnant adolescents based on emotional situations, allowed them to achieve well-being and satisfaction in their cultural environment. Therefore, it is essential to know popular care to provide humanized nursing care in a dynamic way when offering care at the home and at the hospital level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To understand the experience of self-concept and social prejudice in the daily lives of people with spinal cord injury and their families. Methods: Interpretative, qualitative study, developed with 21 participants (12 people with spinal cord injury and 9 family members), of a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in southern Brazil, whose sources of evidence were individual interviews and two workshops that corroborate for data validation. For the grouping and organization of the data, the Atlas.ti software was used and the analysis of the data involved: preliminary analysis, ordering, key links, coding and categorization, guided by the gaze of Comprehensive Sociology and Everyday Life. Results: Evidence of self-concept: marks on the body and soul, wheelchair and the negative perception of the disease, from the decline to the reconstruction of self-image; prejudice in the dimensions: family and social. Conclusion: Self-prejudice negatively influences self-image, creating a mechanism of defense and denial of condition experiencing spinal cord injury. The family is decisive in everyday transformation the way that a person lives and perceives his condition. We need a sensibilization to look established preconceptions that imply about the segregation of people in society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: COVID-19 can present neurological complications of the central nervous system. Ischemic-type strokes have been reported in this population. Neurological rehabilitation participates in the functional recovery and improvement of the quality of life of these patients. Objective: To measure the functionality and quality of life of patients with ischemic stroke due to COVID-19. Material and methods: An observational, prospective and longitudinal study of patients with ischemic stroke admitted to a neurological rehabilitation program was carried out. The Barthel index, the modified Rankin Scale and the SF-12 were used to monitor functionality and quality of life. To compare the proportions of patients with functional independence, the McNemar test was used; for SF-12 scores, Student's t test was used for related data or Wilcoxon test, depending on their normality. A p < 0.05 was significant. Results: 21 patients were included; mean age was 53.57 ± 12.2 years; they were predominantly male (66.7%). The percentage of patients with higher degrees of independence in daily and functional life increased, both in the Barthel index (p < 0.01) and in the modified Rankin scale (p < 0.01) at the third month of follow-up. There was an improvement in the quality of life in its physical component (p = 0.02), as well as in the dimensions of general health (p = 0.01) and mental health (p = 0.04). Conclusions: Patients with stroke due to COVID-19 admitted to the neurological rehabilitation program presented improvement in functional independence and increased their quality of life in their physical component at 3-month follow-up.

Introduction: The quality of life of critically ill patients who survive treatment in intensive care units is lower than that of the general population. Baseline health status and severity of clinical condition on admission to intensive care are risk factors for quality of life and functionality. Objective: To analyze the level of knowledge on quality of life and functionality of intensive care survivors. Materials and methods: An exploratory review was conducted by searching studies published between January 2010 and May 2020 in Scielo, PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, Redalyc, Dialnet, OVID, and Scopus databases. The study was conducted according to the PRISMA statement. Full texts that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed and analyzed in the final selection of articles. Results: Of 1814 articles identified, 65 articles describing the quality of life and functionality in post-intensive care patients were screened. Finally, 16 were included to analyze the article's characteristics, population characteristics, and variables of analysis for assessing the quality of life and functionality of post-intensive care survivors. Conclusions: Studies on quality of life and functionality in intensive care survivors were conducted mainly in Europe between 2010 and 2016. They are primarily prospective observational studies correlating factors determining mental and physical health after intensive care discharge. Multiple scales were applied; the most used were the SF-36 and the EQ-5D to assess the quality of life and the Barthel Index to determine functional status in patients discharged from intensive care. The SF-36 and Barthel index reported impaired quality of life and functionality of the intensive care survivor population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivos. Identificar los factores asociados con la dependencia funcional futura de las personas mayores en México, así como con recibir o no apoyo para la realización de actividades básicas de la vida diaria (ABVD), y proyectar la prevalencia de la dependencia funcional en 2026. Métodos. Se utilizaron los datos del Estudio Nacional de Salud y Envejecimiento (ENASEM) del 2001 y las rondas de seguimiento de 2012 y 2015. Se estimó un modelo de regresión logística multinomial para analizar los factores asociados con la dependencia futura y un modelo de regresión logística para los factores asociados con recibir o no apoyo. Para las proyecciones de personas mayores en situación de dependencia en 2026 se utilizaron los datos del ENASEM del 2015 y los coeficientes estimados del modelo de dependencia futura. Resultados. Las personas de más edad, las que tenían un nivel de educación más bajo, las que padecían de hipertensión, artritis, diabetes, las que habían sufrido una embolia cerebral o alguna caída, y las que tenían algún nivel de dependencia funcional previa presentaron un riesgo significativamente mayor de dependencia (leve o severa) y de fallecer en los 11 años siguientes respecto a sus referencias. Las personas de mayor edad o con dependencia severa tuvieron mayores probabilidades de recibir apoyo respecto a sus referencias. Para el año 2026, se estima que el 18,9% de las personas mayores en México tendrá dependencia leve y el 9,3% dependencia severa. Conclusiones. Los factores asociados con la dependencia futura y con fallecer fueron la edad, el nivel educacional, algunas enfermedades crónicas, haberse caído y tener dependencia funcional previa; los factores asociados con recibir apoyo para la realización de ABVD fueron tener dependencia severa y la edad. Se estima que la prevalencia de la dependencia aumentará 2,1 veces en 25 años (2001-2026).

• La estancia prolongada en una Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo (UCI) y los días de ventilación mecánica, originan un deterioro en la funcionalidad generando una condición de dependencia temporal o permanente en los sobrevivientes de enfermedades críticas. • Las prácticas clínicas humanizadas en las unidades de cuidado intensivo mejoran la calidad de vida en los sobrevivientes de enfermedades críticas después del alta hospitalaria. • El deterioro en la salud mental después del egreso de cuidado intensivo está asociado a la ausencia de acompañamiento familiar, a la poca atención por el personal de enfermería y a la ausencia de protocolos de sedación durante el periodo de permanencia en cuidado crítico. • La movilización temprana en las unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI) puede mejorar la calidad de vida y la funcionalidad en los sobrevivientes de enfermedades críticas. Introducción: La calidad de vida en pacientes críticos que sobreviven al tratamiento en unidades de cuidados intensivos es inferior al de la población general. La condición de salud basal y la severidad de la condición clínica al ingreso a terapia intensiva son factores de riesgo para la calidad de vida y la funcionalidad. Objetivo: Analizar el nivel de conocimiento en la calidad de vida y la funcionalidad de los sobrevivientes de cuidados intensivos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión exploratoria en las bases de datos: Scielo, PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, Redalyc, Dialnet, OVID, Scopus, publicados entre enero del año 2010 y mayo del año 2020. El estudio se desarrolló según la estructura de la Metodología PRISMA. Se revisaron y analizaron los textos completos que cumplían los criterios de inclusión para la selección final de los artículos. Resultados: De 1814 artículo seleccionados, se eligieron 65 artículos que describen la calidad de vida y la funcionalidad en pacientes después de cuidados intensivos, y finalmente, 16 artículos son incluidos, donde se analizaron las características de los artículos, las características de la población estudiada, y las variables de análisis sobre la evaluación de la calidad de vida y la funcionalidad en los sobrevivientes después cuidados intensivos. Conclusión: Los estudios sobre calidad de vida y funcionalidad en sobrevivientes de cuidados intensivos se realizaron en mayor proporción en Europa en los años 2010 a 2016. Con estudios observacionales prospectivos que correlacionan los factores que determinan la salud mental y física después del egreso de cuidados intensivos. Se aplicaron múltiples escalas siendo las más utilizadas SF-36 y el EQ-5D para evaluar la calidad de vida y del índice de Barthel para determinar el estado de funcionalidad en los egresados de cuidados intensivos. El SF-36 y el índice de Barthel reportaron una afectación en la calidad de vida y en la funcionalidad en la población sobreviviente de cuidados intensivos.

En el presente trabajo de investigación se tiene como objetivo comparar las similitudes y diferencias respecto a la configuración del paisaje andino en el poema “balsas matinales”, de Ande (1926), de Alejandro Peralta frente a “Yaraví Titicaca”, de Altipampa (1933), de Emilio Vásquez. Este estudio postula que en el discurso poético de Peralta se reivindica de forma más marcada la importancia de las actividades cotidianas del hombre andino como la pesca, el pastoreo, la agricultura, la ganadería, el andinismo y las fiestas patronales andinas. Por otro lado, en el discurso poético de Vázquez se utilizan, en mayor medida, las categorías pampa y lago para indicar la influencia de estos paisajes en la subjetividad del hombre andino. Para realizar el estudio, se utilizan los marcos teóricos de la Retórica y la Literatura comparada y, por ello, se siguen los lineamientos de Arduini (2000) y Steiner (1978-1992), respectivamente.

Objetivo: Establecer la relación entre la fatiga y el nivel de independencia funcional en actividades de la vida diaria en personas con esclerosis múltiple.Material y método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo trasversal con alcance correlacional. Participaron 107 personas con esclerosis múltiple, mayores de 18 años, con puntuaciones entre 0 y 8 en la Escala Ampliada del Estado de Discapacidad de Kurtzke. Se evaluó la fatiga con la Escala de Gravedad de la Fatiga, las actividades básicas cotidianas con el Índice de Barthel y las instrumentales con la Escala de Lawton y Brody. Se correlacionaron estas variables y se realizaron pruebas de homogeneidad entre la severidad de la fatiga y variables sociodemográficas y clínicas.Resultados: Se encontró una relación significativa inversamente proporcional entre el grado de severidad de la fatiga y las variables de dependencia para las actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria (p0,05). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en el nivel de fatiga respecto al uso de ayudas externas, hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus, compromiso motor, trastornos de la sensibilidad, alteraciones del control de esfínteres, deterioro cognitivo y depresión.Conclusiones: Se encontró que la fatiga fue el síntoma más predominante (>75 %). Las personas que informan altos niveles de fatiga mostraron menor independencia para las actividades de la vida diaria.

Introduction: The presence of comorbidities modulates the aging process, the diagnosis of cancer can significantly compromise the health of the elderly, which affects their quality of life. Objective: Determine the association between the functional dependence and the quality of life in elderly oncology patients treated with radiotherapy. Methods: Retrospective analytical study, carried out in 181 outpatients of Centro Médico Naval del Callao, Perú, male, older than 60 years. The functional dependence was assessed with Barthel index and Lawton scale; and the quality of life was assessed with World Health Organization Quality of Life-Older Adults Module (WHOQoL-Old). Results: A statistically significant association was found between functional dependence and quality of life, for both the basic activities of daily living (PR= 1.04 [IC 95 %: 1.01-1.07]), and the instrumental activities of daily living (PR= 1.08 [IC 95 %: 1.01 - 1.13]). Conclusion: There was significant association between the functional dependence and the poor quality of life in the elderly oncology patients treated with radiotherapy.
