Resumo: Existe uma alta incidência de alterações de deglutição em idosos institucionalizados. Os sentidos associados a essa queixa, com base nas representações e significados que os idosos atribuem a este sintoma, apontam um caminho para uma proposta educativa. Esta proposta tem por objetivo desmistificar o engasgo como algo inerente à velhice, possibilitando assim um novo olhar que permita a redução deste sintoma através do esclarecimento não só aos idosos, que tenham a queixa, mas a toda a população. Desta forma, uma ressignificação do sintoma implica em uma melhor qualidade de vida. Este trabalho inicialmente realiza uma revisão de literatura a respeito das alterações de deglutição, suas questões objetivas e subjetivas (as marcas que este sintoma traz para o idoso), logo após é realizada uma discussão a respeito das representações que um grupo de idosos institucionalizados atribui a este sintoma e finaliza com uma proposta educativa.

Among these individuals are those who accumulate losses in health, social and personal life during their lifespan. Objective: To integrate scientific knowledge about elderly people living alone. Methods: It is an integrative review performed on four international databases. The theoretical reference of the Quality of Life was chosen to categorize the results.

The first main theme was named by “Contextualization of the Elderly that Lives Alone”; the second main theme was called “The role of family in the life of the elderly living alone”. Conclusion: This age group needs a support network to maintain their quality of life; this network must encompass family members, friends, neighbors and health professionals and these must aid the elderly living alone in daily activities, travels and healthcare, among others; since the elderly living alone usually present chronic conditions, cognitive/motor deficit and higher risk of social isolation.Key-words: gerontology, geriatrics, nursing, Physical therapy.

Background: Old age is associated with the physical and psychological problems that affect the Quality of Life (QoL). Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Laughter Therapy (LT) on the QoL of elderly people in nursing homes. Materials & Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with‌ pre-test and post-test with the control and experimental group and one-month follow-up conducted in 2017. The statistical population consisted of 44 elderly people in the Mehr Aein nursing home in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh City, Iran. Based on the inclusion criteria, 32 old people were selected and randomly assigned to experimental ‌(n=16) and control (n=16) groups. The experimental group received an interventional program consisting of Madan Kataria Laughter Therapy, showing comic films, and reading comic books for one month, over 12 sessions of 100 minutes. After the end of laughter intervention, the elderly of both groups responded to the elderly quality of life questionnaire (LIPAD). The obtained data were analyzed using covariance analysis of repeated measures. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups with regard to their QoL‌ (P<0.01).‌ That is, the adjusted mean of the experimental group in the QoL was significantly higher than the mean of the control group‌ (P<0.01). Also, in the experimental group, the mean follow-up score was higher than the mean score of the pre-test, which indicates the stability of the intervention effects after one month‌ (P<0.01). Conclusion: Laughter Therapy intervention has a positive effect on improving the QoL of the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary that authorities consider this program at nursing home centers as a complementary method besides the existing treatments for reducing the mental health problems and improving the QoL of the elderly.
