Quality Of Life Scale

Background: Healthy aging it is possible to compensate for normative changes in cognitive performance, such as during digital learning, in which processes can benefit the global cognition and mood of healthy older adults. Objective: To verify the impacts of computerized cognitive training through an online platform, on mood, frequency of forgetfulness, memory complaints and quality of life of active older adults. Methods: 66 healthy elderly people were invited and divided into two groups, training group (n=32) and control group (n=34). Protocol: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Memory Complaint Questionnaire (MAC-Q), a MAC-Nair forgetfulness frequency scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), and a questionnaire of Quality of Life Assessment Control, Autonomy, Selfrealization and Pleasure (CASP-19). Results: Elderly aged 60 to 92 years, who attended higher education (39.39%) and postgraduate education (42.42%). Participants in the training group had a reduction in the MAC-Q, MAC-Nair and GAI scores, post-cognitive intervention, and the deltas of the scores (Post – Pre). Additionally, there were significant differences between groups, in the total quality of life scale - CASP 19 - in the posttest. Conclusion: That participating in a computerized cognitive intervention made it possible to reduce memory complaints, reduce the frequency of forgetfulness, reduce anxiety symptoms and improve self-reported quality of life.

Patienten mit Myelodysplastischem Syndrom (MDS) und Krankheitsstabilisierung (SD) als erstes Ansprechen haben unter kontinuierlicher Behandlung mit Azacitidin (Vida-za®) gute Aussichten, noch ein Ansprechen gemäß Kriterien der International Working Group (IWG) und dadurch einen Überlebensvorteil zu erreichen. Zu diesem Ergebnis kam eine auf dem Kongress der American Society of Oncology (ASCO) vorgestellte Analyse der Zulassungsstudie AZA-001.

The Impact

Evidence concerning the impact of fear of memory decline on health-related outcomes is limited. To determine the relationship between fear-avoidance of memory decline, quality of life and subjective memory in older adults using a novel scale to measure fear of memory decline. Sixty-seven older adults (59-81 years) completed a 23-item self-report questionnaire designed to capture experiential, cognitive and behavioral components of fear of memory decline, known as the fear and avoidance of memory decline (FAM) scale. Memory performance was assessed using the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-IV) and the Memory Failures Scale (MFS). General anxiety was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS) and the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI). Quality of life was assessed using the Older Person’s Quality of Life scale (OPQOL-35). The FAM scale demonstrated good reliability and validity. Three latent factors were observed including: (1) fear-avoidance, (2) problematic beliefs and (3) resilience. After adjusting for age, education, memory performance and general anxiety, higher fear-avoidance predicted lower quality of life (p=.021) and increased memory failures (p=.022). Increased fear of memory decline predicts lower quality of life and subjective memory failures in healthy older adults. Based on these findings, we propose a preliminary fear-avoidance model that explains the development and maintenance of dementia-related functional disability in terms of psychological processes.
