Abstract:Background: Agitation is common in nursing home residents with dementia and is associated with high burden for the residents, their relatives and their caregivers. These consequences increase if symptoms of agitation are severe. Although it is assumed that agitation and quality of life are related, knowledge about severe agitation and its relation to single dimensions of quality of life is limited.Objective: To examine the relationship between the severity of agitation and social isolation as a dimension of quality of life in people with dementia living in German nursing homes.Methods: An explorative secondary data analysis of data from an observational study with 1947 residents from 66 German nursing homes was conducted. Agitation was defined as a construct of the items agitation/aggression, irritability and disinhibition of the Neuropsychiatric-Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q). Social isolation, as one of the dimensions of quality of life, was measured with a subscale of the short version of the QUALIDEM-instrument. First, a matching procedure was carried out to choose two groups with similar baseline characteristics, one with residents with severe agitation and one with residents with mild or no agitation. Second, a linear regression model and Mann-Whitney U tests were calculated to determine differences in the dimension of social isolation and its single items.Results: A significant relationship was found between the severity of agitation and the dimension of social isolation (-1.92 (CI 95%: -2.41, -1.43)). Besides the finding in the total score of the dimension of social isolation, significant differences were found in all three items defining this dimension (calls out; openly rejects contact with others; is rejected by other residents). In particular, the item ‘is rejected by other residents’ was often rated as applicable for people with dementia with severe agitation.Conclusion: Severe agitation is associated with lower values of quality of life in the dimension of social isolation and its defining items. In daily practice and in research, more attention should be paid to severe agitation. Furthermore, interventions that aim to influence both the severity of agitation and the quality of life should have a stronger focus on causes of social isolation.

Abstract Many nurses, patients, and families continue to believe that physical activity increases the risk of falling. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that residents who are exposed to Function Focused Care for Assisted Living (FFC-AL-EIT) and engage in moderate levels of physical activity would not be more likely to fall. This was a secondary data analysis using data from the first two cohorts of the FFC-AL-EIT study. The study included 508 residents the majority of whom were female (70%), white (97%), with a mean age of 87.72 (SD=7.47). Those who engaged in more moderate intensity physical activity were 1% less likely to fall (b = -.01, Wald =6.13, p =.01). There was no association between exposure to function focused care and falling (Beta =.41, Wald =2.35, p=.13). Further, engaging in moderate level physical activity was noted to be slightly protective of falling.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre nível de atividade física e fatores de risco cardiovascular, qualidade de vida e comorbidades dos pacientes hipertensos em Agudos (São Paulo - Brasil). Método: Foram avaliados 200 pacientes hipertensos e verificadas as associações entre Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física IPAQ, questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36, fatores de risco cardiovascular e comorbidades. Resultados: O nível de atividade física associou-se à qualidade de vida nos domínios capacidade funcional, limitações físicas e estado geral de saúde. Houve associação entre o nível de atividade física e qualidade de vida, mesmo ajustando-se para as variáveis de confusão (idade, sexo, profissão, acidente vascular encefálico prévio, internação previa por insuficiência cardíaca congestiva e diabetes). Conclusão: O nível de atividade física em hipertensos e diabéticos foi inferior ao desejado e associou-se a fatores de risco cardiovascular, comorbidades e vários indicadores de qualidade de vida. Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre nivel de actividad física y factores de riesgo cardiovascular, calidad de vida y comorbilidades de los pacientes del programa de atención a pacientes hipertensos en Agudos (São Paulo-Brasil). Método: 200 pacientes hipertensos fueron evaluados y se valoró la asociación entre el nivel de actividad física (mediante el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física IPAQ), la calidad de vida (mediante el cuestionario SF-36), los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y las comorbilidades. Resultados: El nivel de actividad física se asoció con la calidad de vida en los ítems de capacidad funcional, limitaciones físicas y estado general de salud. Se obtuvo asociación entre el nivel de actividad física y dichos ítems de calidad de vida, independientemente de las variables de confusión (edad, sexo, profesión, accidente vascular encefálico previo, internamiento previo por insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva y diabetes). Conclusión: El nivel de actividad física en pacientes hipertensos y diabéticos fue menor de lo deseado y se asoció con factores de riesgo cardiovascular, comorbilidades y diversos indicadores de calidad de vida. Abstract Objetive: To evaluate the association between physical activity level and cardiovascular risk factors, quality of life, and comorbidities of hypertensive patients in Agudos (São Paulo-Brazil). Method: 200 hypertensive patients were evaluated and the associations between international physical activity Questionnaire IPAQ, questionnaire of quality of life SF-36, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities were verified. Results: The level of physical activity was associated with the quality of life in the areas functional capacity, physical limitations and general state of health. There was association between the level of physical activity and quality of life, even adjusting for the confounding variables. Conclusion: The level of physical activity in hypertensive and diabetic patients was lower than desired and was associated with cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities and several indicators of quality of life.
