ABSTRAKPenurunan daya ingat dan ketidakmampuan dalam melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari menjadi salah satu alasan lansia dikirim ke panti wredha. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan faktor demografi dan demensia dengan kemandirian lansia dalam memenuhi aktivitas dasar dan instrumental di panti wredha. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional. Alat pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner BADL (Basic Activities of Daily Living), IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), dan MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination). Sampel penelitian berjumlah 166 lansia berusia > 60 tahun yang tinggal di 3 panti wredha Bandung dan Garut. Analisa data menggunakan uji independent sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan lansia yang ada di panti wredha 65,1% mandiri dalam BADL dan 51,8% mandiri dalam IADL, 109 orang (65,7%) mengalami demensia, 118 orang (71,1%) adalah wanita, 142 orang (85,5%) berpendidikan rendah, dan 153 orang (92,2%) tidak menikah. Analisis menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kemandirian (BADL dan IADL) dengan pendidikan, status marital, dan demensia pada lansia di panti wredha (p<0,05). Upaya yang komprehensif perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kemandirian lansia khususnya yang ada di panti wredha. ABSTRACT Cognitive impairment and inability to do activities of daily living being the reasons for elderly to transferring in the nursing homes. The purpose of this study was to determine association of demographic factors and dementia with the independence of the elderly to fulfill basic and instrumental activities in nursing homes. The design of this study was cross-sectional. Data collection tools using BADL (Basic Activities of Daily Living), IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), and MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) questionnaires. The research sample of 166 elderly aged > 60 years who live in 3 nursing homes in Bandung and Garut. Data analysis uses an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the elderly in nursing homes 65.1% were independent in BADL and 51.8% were independent in IADL, 109 people (65.7%) suffered dementia, 118 people (71.1%) were women, 142 people (85.5% ) have low education, and 153 people (92.2%) are not married. The analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between BADL and IADL with education, marital status, and dementia in the elderly in nursing homes (p <0.05). Comprehensive treatment needs to improve the independence of the elderly especially in nursing homes.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the activities of daily living (ADLs) using the Barthel Index before and after infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and also to determine whether or not the results varied according to gender. The ADLs of 68 cohabiting geriatric patients, 34 men and 34 women, in two nursing homes were measured before and after SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)) infection. COVID-19 infection was found to affect the performance of ADLs in institutionalized elderly in nursing homes, especially in the more elderly subjects, regardless of sex. The COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to having claimed many victims, especially in the elderly population, has led to a reduction in the abilities of these people to perform their ADLs and caused considerable worsening of their quality of life even after recovering from the disease.

Objective To verify whether there is a connection between the functional capacity of the elderly and the presence of violent situations in their daily lives. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study developed with 237 elderly individuals. Standard and validated research instruments were used. Results Mean age of 70.25 years (standard deviation of 6.94), 69% were female, 76% were independent in basic activities of daily living and 54% had a partial dependence on at least one instrumental activity. The most prevalent violence was psychological and the relation between being dependent on basic activities of daily living and suffering physical violence was statistically significant. Conclusion When the elderly needs assistance to perform self-care activities, there is a greater chance of exposure to a situation of abuse, such as physical violence.

Abstract Mild Cognitive Impairment is characterized as an intermediate form between age-related change and dementia. For the elderly, autonomy and independence are related to the ability to remain active in conducting their social activities and, for this to occur, communication is fundamental in this process. Objective: To assess the association between communication and the abilities of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment to perform instrumental activities of daily living. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative, analytical, correlational study was conducted at the Open University of the Third Age (UnATI), a program of the Federal University of Pernambuco. This study included 92 people, comprising 46 elderly with mild cognitive impairment and a caregiver or family member who met the inclusion criteria. The elderly were asked to complete a sociodemographic questionnaire and Lawton-Brody’s Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale. The caregivers were asked to complete the Functional Assessment of Communication Skills. The following variables were studied: social communication skills and instrumental activities of daily living. Data were stored in an Excel® 2007 spreadsheet, and the Pearson correlation test was used for the statistical analysis. Results: There were statistically significant correlations in four domains of social communication: referring to family members by name (p=0.0033); requesting information about people or events (p=0.0355); understanding conversations in a noisy environment (p=0.0448); and understanding what they watch on television or listen to on the radio (p=0.0127). Conclusion: Changes in the communication of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment interfere with their ability to perform instrumental activities autonomously and independently.

Context Obesity in the elderly is associated with exacerbation of functional decline (dependency), that occurs with aging, because of decreased muscle mass and strength, and increased joint dysfunction. Consequently, there is progressive loss of independence, autonomy, chronic pain and impaired quality of life. The weight loss can bring benefits in all these aspects, especially when accompanied by exercises. Elderly patients with morbid obesity may be submitted to surgical treatment, taking into account that the massive weight loss, eventually caused by bariatric surgery, may exacerbate the loss of muscle mass and nutritional complications that may bring harm to the overall health and quality of life of these patients. The functional assessment of elderly patients, candidates for bariatric surgery and the extent to which surgery can bring benefits to the patients, in the field of functionality, has still to be determined. Objective To describe profile functionality in obese elderly referred to a bariatric surgery program. Methods Patients with age ≥60 and BMI ≥35 underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment that evaluates co morbidities, medication use, ability to perform basic activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, and the “Timedupandgo” test to evaluate mobility, whose cut-off point was ≤10 seconds. Statistical analysis was performed in order to see if there is a positive correlation of dependency with BMI and age (over or under 65 years). Results Forty subjects have completed evaluation. The mean age was 64.1 years (60-72) and 75% were women. They had an average weight of 121.1 kg (72.7-204) and a mean BMI of 47.2 kg/m2 (35.8-68.9). 16 patients (40%) have shown dependency for activities of daily living, 19 (47,5%) for instrumental activities of daily living and 20 patients (50%) had a “Timedupandgo” test over 10 seconds. Statistical analysis (t-Student, Mann-Whitney, Binary Logistic Regression) has shown positive correlation of dependency in activities of daily living for BMI >49 kg/m2, dependency in instrumental activities of daily living for BMI >46,5 kg/m2, and “Timedupandgo” test greater than 10 seconds for BMI >51 kg/m2 (P<0,05). No dependency difference was observed for patients over or under 65 years age. Conclusions Functional decline is observed in almost half of the morbid obese patients over 60 years old. It is related to increasing BMI (BMI >46,5 kg/m2) but not related to age (60 to 65 years or over 65 years). Functional decline should be considered a co-morbidity in the elderly obese patients and should be assessed before bariatric surgery in this population.
