Emergency room referrals to a geriatric outreach team: the analysis of referral reasons.

Kliewer, Sandra Sharon 23 August 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore the referrals that were generated from one hospital emergency room to a community outreach team. This study used a specific geriatric program assessment team in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada as the community outreach team. Malcolm Payne’s description of Task Centered Casework and Crisis Intervention and Irene Pollin’s Medical Crisis Counseling served as the theoretical structure and design to gain an understanding of the reasons geriatric patients were referred to the GPAT on discharge. This study aimed to answer three research questions: 1) What is the emergency room medical team’s main reason for referral to a geriatric outreach team? 2) Are the referrals received from the emergency room medical team clearly identifying psychosocial issues as areas for examination by an outreach team? 3) Are psychosocial issues identified only after an outreach team clinician completed a comprehensive assessment? This study revealed that out of the 209 referrals to geriatric program assessment team, the highest number of times referred was for functional decline. It revealed that the emergency room medical team saw functional decline as a valid reason to have the geriatric program assessment team assess the individual in their home settings to ensure that any functional issue be addressed and possible adaptations made in a timely manner to avoid the reverberation that one ailment can set off. The second most common reason for referring to the geriatric program assessment team was for social issues. Forty percent of the referrals identified that there were concerns in relation to social issues which clearly identifies that the emergency room medical team identified psychosocial issues as an area for further examination. And finally, the findings show psychosocial issues were not identified only after an outreach team clinician completed a comprehensive assessment, but that both appear cognizant of the interplay between medical issues and social issues.

Možnosti prevence s využitím geriatrických principů: Funkční stav a depresivita ve stáří / Possibilities of prevention reflecting geriatric principles: Functional status and depressivity in old age

Vaňková, Hana January 2015 (has links)
Possibilities of prevention reflecting geriatric principles: Functional status and depressivity in old age Hana Vaňková, MD Abstract Background: Given the population ageing in Europe and in the Czech Republic, strategies aiming to prevent functional decline in older age are of great importance. Depression in old age increases functional decline and is also associated with increased morbidity, mortality and deterioration of quality of life (Anstey et al., 2007; Karakaya et al., 2009). Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive intervention addressing both functional status and depressive symptoms. Methods: Using comprehensive geriatric assessment, the relationship between functional status and depressive symptoms was examined in 308 residents of long-term care facilities (RCFs) in the Czech Republic. Depressive symptoms were measured using the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale. An additional randomized control trial (RCT) evaluated the effect of a dance-based therapy on depressive symptoms in 162 institutionalized older adults with average age over 80 years. Results: A multiple regression analyses adjusted for sociodemographic factors and for taking antidepressants found that cognitive function and functional limitation by pain were most strongly associated with depressive symptoms. The ability to...

Consequence, diseases proper of the old age have shown increased expression in society. Among them, we highlight the cerebrovascular accident that among seniors, presents high incidence. It aimed to verify the associations between socio-demographic factors and the functional capacity of the elderly with plegias by cerebrovascular accident. This is a cross-sectional study, descriptive, of a quantitative approach. It was performed in the homes of the elderly with plegias for stroke attached to Family Health Units of the municipality of Campina Grande/PB, Brazil, in the period September 2014 and March 2015. Eligibility criteria: people aged 60 or older, of both genders, with some kind of palsy diagnosed by specialist, due to cerebrovascular accident, cognitive function that makes it possible to answer the questions and be attached in any family Health Unit municipality campinense. Two questionnaires were used: the questionnaire I, for the investigation of socio-demographic variables, and the questionnaire II, called Barthel Index for the evaluation of the functional capacity of the subjects for the activities of daily life. The data collected were deployed (in double-entry) into an electronic database and analyzed through the statistical program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, 20.0 version for Windows, and presented through tables. The associations investigated considered the 95% confidence intervals (p < 0,05). For demographic data analysis and IB scores there was used the descriptive statistics. To check the level of significance between associations of socio-demographic aspects and functional capacity for activities of daily living there was used dichotomization of the Barthel Index variables. This research was developed according to the parameters of the resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council and Ministry of Health, which feature on research involving humans. The results were presented by means of a scientific article derived from the research. There has been a predominance of women, widowed, without schooling and with household income of up to one minimum wage. The average age was of 65 years old. Found satisfactory reliability of Barthel Index, with Cronbach's alpha total = 0,917. The activities in which there was greater difficulty of urination (73,8%) and evacuate (66,9%) were carrying out. Regarding the functional capacity for activities of daily living, there was verified the level of capacity ranging from moderate to total dependence, and degree of mild dependence. It was found association between the functional capacity and the race (p = 0,027), age group (p = 0,001) and schooling (p = 0,041). It was noted that the socio-demographic factors may interfere with the functional capacity of the elderly with plegias by cerebrovascular accident. In this sense, through the provision of research results, it is believed to have contributed to the reflection on this issue, as well as provided by other studies of the reproduction methods used. / Ao introduzir as mais recentes inovações tecnológicas da medicina preventiva e curativa, houve aumento da expectativa de vida e redução da taxa de mortalidade que conjuntamente com o declínio da fecundidade evidencia o processo de envelhecimento populacional. Conseguinte, doenças próprias da velhice têm apresentado crescente expressão na sociedade. Dentre elas, destaca-se o acidente vascular encefálico que entre os idosos, apresenta elevada incidência. Objetivou-se verificar as associações entre os fatores sociodemográficos e a capacidade funcional de idosos com plegias por acidente vascular encefálico. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa. Foi realizado no domicílio dos idosos com plegias por acidente vascular encefálico adscritos às Unidades de Saúde da Família do município de Campina Grande/PB, Brasil, no período de setembro de 2014 a março de 2015. Os critérios de elegibilidade: pessoas com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, de ambos os sexos, com algum tipo de plegia diagnosticada por especialista, decorrente de acidente vascular encefálico, função cognitiva que possibilite responder os questionamentos e estar adstrito em alguma Unidade Saúde Família do município campinense. Foram utilizados dois questionários: o Questionário I, destinado à investigação das variáveis sociodemográficas e o Questionário II, denominado Índice de Barthel destinado à avaliação da capacidade funcional dos sujeitos para as Atividades de Vida Diária. Os dados coletados foram implantados (em dupla entrada) em um banco de dados eletrônico e analisados por meio do programa estatístico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences , versão 20.0 para Windows, e apresentados por meio de tabelas. As associações investigadas consideraram os intervalos de confiança em 95% (p<0,05). Para análise dos dados sociodemográficos e dos escores do IB, foi utilizada a estatística descritiva. Para verificar o nível de significância entre associações dos aspectos sociodemográficos e capacidade funcional para as atividades de vida diária, foi utilizada a dicotomização das variáveis do Índice de Barthel. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida de acordo com os parâmetros da Resolução 466/12 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde e Ministério da Saúde, que dispõem sobre pesquisa envolvendo seres humanos. Os resultados foram apresentados por meio de um artigo científico derivado da pesquisa. Verificou-se predomínio de indivíduos do sexo feminino, viúvos, sem escolaridade e com renda familiar de até um salário mínimo. A média de idade foi de 65 anos. Constatou-se satisfatória confiabilidade do Índice de Brathel, com Alfa de Cronbach total = 0,917. As atividades nas quais se verificou maior dificuldade de realização foram micção (73,8%) e evacuar (66,9%). Com relação à capacidade funcional para as atividades de vida diária, verificou-se grau de capacidade variando de moderado para total dependência, independente e grau de leve dependência. Verificou-se associação entre a capacidade funcional e a raça (p= 0,027), faixa etária (p= 0,001) e escolaridade (p= 0,041). Constatou-se que os fatores sociodemográficos podem interferir na capacidade funcional de idosos com plegias por acidente vascular encefálico. Nesse sentido, por meio da disponibilização dos resultados da pesquisa, acredita- se ter contribuído para a reflexão sobre essa problemática, bem como proporcionado reprodutibilidade por outros estudos dos métodos utilizados.

O uso longitudinal da avaliação geriátrica ampla em um centro oncológico no Brasil: estudo piloto em  portadores de câncer de mama / The longitudinal use of geriatric assessment in an oncology center in Brazil : a pilot study in patients with breast cancer

Theodora Karnakis 24 February 2015 (has links)
Introdução: O Câncer e o envelhecimento estão integralmente relacionados e evidenciam um inexorável aumento nos países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento. No Brasil o câncer de mama é o mais frequente nas mulheres com aumento de sua incidência e mortalidade na população idosa. A avaliação Geriátrica Ampla (AGA) é instrumento seguro e utilizado por geriatras, para estratificar os idosos entre diferentes níveis de fragilidades e tem por objetivo determinar as deficiências e incapacidades para um planejamento individual do cuidado. Objetivos : Avaliar a utilidade da AGA e sua aplicabilidade como instrumento de monitoramento longitudinal em mulheres idosas portadoras de câncer de mama no Brasil. Material e métodos: Estudo coorte, prospectivo, quasi experimental em mulheres idosas, com >= 60 anos, provindas do sistema público de saúde, recém diagnosticadas do câncer de mama e que iriam iniciar tratamento oncológico. As pacientes foram seguidas por dois anos e avaliadas pelos parâmetros da AGA: Escala de Comorbidades de Charlson; Atividades básica de vida diária (ABVD); Atividades Instrumentais de Vida Diária (AIVD); Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) ; Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (GDS-15); Mini Avaliação Nutricional (MAN) e pela Escala de Sintomas de Edmonton ao diagnóstico e a cada 4 meses no primeiro ano e após 2 anos do diagnóstico. Resultados: 20 idosas de idade média 70,2 (+ - 7.03 ), receberam um total de 97 AGAs no decorrer de 2 anos. A AGA identificou novas fragilidades em 90% das avaliações, com ampliação da conduta clinica, e 45% das pacientes tiveram o tratamento oncológico modificado após a avaliação. Como instrumento de monitoramento, houve uma tendência de diminuição do numero de novos diagnósticos após cada AGA realizada ao longo de 2 anos. Conclusão: O presente estudo valida a importância do uso da AGA na população idosa com câncer de mama no Brasil ao identificar fragilidades e sugerir mudanças no plano do tratamento oncológico. Novos estudos, em diversos tipos de câncer, com maior tempo de seguimento, são necessários para avaliar o impacto da AGA na população idosa em tratamento oncológico / Introduction: The Cancer and aging are integrally related and show an inexorable rise in developed and developing countries . In Brazil, breast cancer is the most common in women with increased incidence and mortality in the elderly population . The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is an instrument used with insurance by geriatricians to stratify elderly between different levels of weaknesses and aims to determine the disabilities for an individual plan of care. Objectives : To evaluate the usefulness of CGA and its applicability as longitudinal monitoring instrument in older women with breast cancer in Brazil. Methods: Cohort study , prospective, quasi experimental in elderly women with >= 60 years , originated from the public health system , newly diagnosed breast cancer and they would start cancer treatment . The patients were followed for two years and evaluated by the parameters of CGA : Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI); Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Instrumental Activities of Daily (IADL); Mini Mental State Evaluation (MMSE); Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS); Mini Nutritional Assessment (MAN) and Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale. The CGA occurred every four months in the first year and after 2 years of diagnosis . Results: 20 elderly women with average age of 70.2 ( + - 7.03 ) , received a total of 97 GA in the course of two years . CGA identified new weaknesses in 90 % of cases , with expansion of the clinical conduct, and 45% of patients had cancer treatment modified after the evaluation. As monitoring instrument , there was a downward trend in the number of new diagnoses after each AGA conducted over two years. Conclusion: This study validates the importance of using the AGA in the elderly population with breast cancer in Brazil to identify weaknesses and suggest changes in cancer treatment plan. New studies in various cancers and longer follow-up are needed to assess the impact of AGA in the elderly undergoing cancer treatment

A influência da idade e da escolaridade na execução e no aprendizado de uma tarefa cognitivo-motora / The influence of age and educational status on the performance of a cognitive-motor task and on its learning

Mariana Callil Voos 29 January 2010 (has links)
Função executiva é a habilidade necessária para planejar, iniciar, realizar e monitorar comportamentos intencionais, relacionados a um objetivo ou a demandas ambientais, com base na experiência prévia. Tanto indivíduos idosos, quanto indivíduos com escolaridade baixa apresentam dificuldade em tarefas que requerem função executiva, como o Trail Making Test (TMT), que consiste em traçar retas em uma folha de papel, conectando uma seqüência de números (parte A, TMTA) e de números e letras, alternados (parte B, TMTB), o mais rápido possível. O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral desenvolver uma nova versão do TMT, o Teste de Deambulação Funcional (TDF), que poderia ser mais familiar a indivíduos com escolaridade baixa e favorecer sua compreensão e execução. Os objetivos específicos foram: testar se haveria diferenças de idade e/ou escolaridade (1) na execução das partes A e B do TDF (TDFA e TDFB) e das partes A e B do TMT (TMTA e TMTB); (2) nos deltas cognitivos do TMT (dcTMT=TMTBTMTA) e do TDF (dcTDF=TDFBTDFA); (3) nos deltas motores da parte A (dmA=TDFATMTA) e da parte B (dmB=TDFBTMTB) e (4) no aprendizado do TDF. Participaram 70 voluntários, (24 jovens, 26 adultos maduros, e 20 idosos). Na primeira sessão os voluntários realizaram (I) o TDF, (II) o TMT, (III) sete repetições do TDFA, (IV) sete repetições do TDFB. Metade dos voluntários de cada faixa etária realizou a ordem (I) e (II) e metade, (II) e (I). Depois de uma semana, realizaram (V) quatro repetições do TDFA e (VI) quatro do TDFB. Foi adotado nível de significância de p=0,05. ANOVAs mostraram que (1) os idosos, principalmente aqueles com escolaridade baixa, foram mais lentos que os adultos jovens e maduros no TMT e no TDF, sobretudo na parte B e os idosos com escolaridade alta foram mais lentos no TDFB do que no TMTB; (2) os deltas cognitivos do TMT e do TDF foram mais altos para indivíduos com maior idade e menor escolaridade e o dcTMT foi maior que o dcTDF para idosos com escolaridade baixa; (3) o dmB de idosos com escolaridade baixa foi menor que o de idosos com escolaridade alta; (4) os idosos com escolaridade baixa foram mais lentos que aqueles com escolaridade alta na avaliação 1 da TDFA e em todas as avaliações da TDFB, mas não foram observadas diferenças de escolaridade no desempenho de adultos jovens e maduros. O TDF mostrou-se uma ferramenta complementar eficaz para avaliar indivíduos com diferentes idades e escolaridades. Indivíduos mais idosos e com escolaridade mais baixa apresentaram tempos mais altos, tanto no TMT, quanto no TDF. O dcTDF não parece ter sido equivalente ao dcTMT em indivíduos com escolaridade baixa, já que eles apresentaram menor dificuldade em resolver cognitivamente o TDF. Idosos com alta e baixa escolaridade apresentaram resultados antagônicos no dmB: idosos com escolaridade baixa apresentaram menor dificuldade no TDFB, com relação ao TMTB e o contrário ocorreu para idosos com escolaridade alta. A escolaridade baixa prejudicou o aprendizado da tarefa, principalmente em idosos. Idosos apresentaram estabilização mais lenta no desempenho do que adultos maduros, que por sua vez apresentaram estabilização mais lenta que jovens. / Executive function is the ability of planning, initiating, performing and monitoring intentional behaviors, related to an objective or environmental demands, based on previous experience. Older adults and individuals with a low educational status have difficulty in performing executive function tasks, such as the Trail Making Test (TMT), which consists on linking a sequence of numbers on a sheet of paper (part A, TMTA) and alternated numbers and letters (part B, TMTB) as fast as possible. The present study had as a general aim to develop a new version of the TMT, the Functional Gait Test (FGT), which could be more familiar to individuals with a low educational status and favor their comprehension and performance. The specific aims were: to investigate possible differences due to age and/or educational status (1) in the performance of parts A and B of FGT (FGTA e FGTB) and of parts A and B of TMT (TMTA and TMTB); (2) in the cognitive deltas of TMT (cdTMT=TMTBTMTA) and of FGT (cdFGT=FGTBFGTA); (3) in the motor deltas of part A (mdA=FGTATMTA) and part B (mdB=FGTBTMTB) and (4) in the learning process of FGT. Seventy volunteers participated (24 young adults, 26 mature adults and 20 older adults). At the first session, volunteers performed (I) the FGT, (II) the TMT, (III) seven repetitions of the FGTA, (IV) seven repetitions of the FGTB. Half of the sample of each age group performed the order (I) and (II) and the other half, (II) and (I). After one week, they performed (V) four repetitions of the FGTA and (VI) four of the FGTB. Significance level was p=0,05. ANOVAs showed that (1) older adults, mainly the ones with a low educational status, were slower than young and mature adults on the TMT and on the FGT, principally on part B and older adults with a high educational status were slower on the FGTB than on the TMTB; (2) the cognitive deltas of TMT and FGT were higher for individuals with higher age and lower level of education and the cdTMT was higher than cdFGT for older adults with a low educational status; (3) the mdB of older adults with a low educational level was lower that the mdB of older adults with more years of formal education; (4) older adults with a low educational status were slower than the ones with a high level of education on assessment 1 of the FGTA and in all assessments of the FGTB, but no educational status differences were observed in the performance of young and mature adults. The FGT is an useful complementary tool to evaluate individuals with different ages and educational levels. Older adults and individuals with a lower educational level showed higher times, both in the TMT and in the FGT. The cdFGT did not seem equivalent to the cdTMT in individuals with a low educational status, since they had less difficulty in solving the cognitive part of the FGT. Older adults with a high and a low educational level had antagonistic results on mdB: older adults with a low educational status had less difficulty on the FGTB, compared to the TMTB and the opposite occurred for the ones with a high educational status. The low educational level impaired the learning process, mainly for older adults. Older adults showed slower stabilization on performance than mature adults and mature adults showed slower stabilization than young adults.

Desenvolvimento e validação de conteúdo da Avaliação Multidimensional do Idoso do Plano de Atenção Gerontológica - PAGe / Development and validation of contents of the Multidimensional Assessment of the Elderly of the Gerontological Care Plan - PAGe

Alexandra Lindy Silva Cezar 03 May 2018 (has links)
O Plano de Atenção Gerontológica (PAGe), instrumento desenvolvido no Bacharelado em Gerontologia da Universidade de São Paulo, possui uma escala de avaliação multidimensional de idosos (AMI) que ainda não foi submetida ao processo de validação. Objetivo geral: realizar a validação de conteúdo da AMI do PAGe. Métodos: A validade de conteúdo foi realizada nas seguintes etapas: 1) revisão sistemática de instrumentos de avaliação multidimensional de idosos validados na língua inglesa: os descritores \"geriatric assessment\", \"validity\", \"reliability\" e \"elderly\" foram associados e pesquisados em quatro bases de dados. Os artigos foram selecionados por dois avaliadores após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão. Pesquisas adicionais foram feitas na tentativa de encontrar adaptações/validações para a população brasileira; 2) definição das bases conceituais: estudo aprofundado sobre como domínios/itens foram medidos por outros pesquisadores; 3) análise do desenvolvimento da escala: itens avaliados e modificados considerando: ambiguidade, comprimento, dificuldade de leitura, múltiplas negativas e duplo-caminho; e 4) avaliação do comitê de especialistas: profissionais experts em avaliação multidimensional do idoso analisaram o conteúdo do instrumento. Foram seguidos métodos sistemáticos para coleta de dados: carta convite, termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido, formulário de caracterização dos participantes, carta explicativa e questionário de avaliação dos itens/domínios. A concordância entre os especialistas foi analisada considerando os valores críticos da Content Validity Ratio (CVR) (nível de significância de p<0,02). Resultados: Foram encontradas 14 escalas validadas, na maioria voltadas para identificação de fragilidade e demandas/risco de saúde. Os domínios mais frequentes foram suporte social (100%) e capacidade funcional (92,8%), enquanto o menos presente foi sobre violência (7,1%). Todas as escalas apresentaram índices de confiabilidade, seguidos por validade de critério concorrente e conteúdo (78,5%, ambas). Validades de face (21,4%) e construto (21,4%) foram menos prevalentes. Na validação do conteúdo da AMI do PAGe seu construto foi definido, suas bases conceituais foram devidamente descritas e seus itens modificados para melhor qualidade psicométrica. O comitê foi constituído por dez especialistas. A partir do cálculo das CVRs, 42,7% dos 103 itens foram validados, 50,4% modificados, 5,8% excluídos e 0,9% mantidos sem modificações. As médias das CVRs da escala inteira nos quesitos clareza e pertinência são 0,78 e 0,95, respectivamente. Foram feitas alterações no layout e nas instruções do instrumento, excluídas as propostas de escores e incluídos sete itens. Conclusão: As escalas encontradas na revisão são mais voltadas para a área da saúde e apresentam limitações em suas validações. Há escassez de instrumentos originados no Brasil e validados para idosos brasileiros. Esta pesquisa proporcionou a identificação do construto latente da AMI pertencente ao PAGe, a qual passou a ser denominada escala de Vulnerabilidade Biopsicossocial do Idoso (VBI). O conteúdo dessa escala não foi totalmente validado, contudo os itens mantidos na mesma foram todos considerados pertinentes. Neste panorama, espera-se que a escala VBI do PAGe venha contribuir para o campo de instrumentos avaliativos da população idosa brasileira e que este trabalho contribua para maior interesse em estudos de avaliação psicométrica e uso crítico de instrumentos / The Gerontological Care Plan (originally called Plano de Atenção Gerontológica -PAGe), developed in the Bachelor of Gerontology of the University of São Paulo, has a scale of multidimensional assessment of the elderly (MAE) that has not been yet submitted to a validation process. General objective: to determine the content validation of the MAE of the PAGe. Methods: Content validity was performed in the following stages: 1) systematic review of multidimensional assessment tools for elderly validated in the English language: the descriptors \"geriatric assessment\", \"validity\", \"reliability\" and \"elderly\" were associated and searched in four databases. The articles were selected by two researchers after applying the inclusion criteria in the abstracts/titles and full articles. Additional research was done in an attempt to find adaptations/validations for the Brazilian population; 2) definition of the conceptual bases: an in-depth study on how domains/items were measured by other researchers; 3) analysis of the development of the instrument: the items were evaluated and modified considering: ambiguity, length, reading difficulty, multiple negatives and double barreled; and 4) evaluation of the specialists committee: experts in multidimensional assessment analyzed the content of the instrument. Systematic methods for data collection were followed: invitation letter, informed consent form, participant characterization form, explanatory letter and questionnaire to evaluate the items/domains. The agreement among the experts was analyzed considering the critical values of the content validity ratio (CVR) (significance level of p <0.02). Results: A total of 14 validated scales were found, mostly focused on the identification of frailty and demands / health risk. The most frequent domains were social support (100%) and functional capacity (92.8%), while the least present was violence (7.1%). All scales presented reliability indices, followed by validity of concurrent criterion and content (78.5%, both). Validities of face (21.4%) and construct (21.4%) were less prevalent. In the content validation of the MAE of the PAGe its construct was defined, its conceptual bases were properly described and its items modified for better psychometric quality. The committee consisted of ten specialists. From the CVR calculation, 42.7% of the 103 items were validated, 50.4% modified, 5.8% excluded and 0.9% maintained unchanged. The CVR averages of the entire instrument in the clarity and relevance questions are 0.78 and 0.95, respectively. Changes were made to the layout and instructions of the instrument, proposed scores were excluded and seven items were included. Conclusion: The scales retrieved in the systematic review are more focused on the healthcare field and have limitations in their validations. No instrument was originally developed in Brazil and fewer were validated for Brazilian elderly. This research provided the identification of the latent AMI construct belonging to the PAGe, which was renamed scale of Biopsychosocial Vulnerability of the Elderly (BVE). The content of this scale was not fully validaded, however the items kept in it were all considered pertinent. Finally, it is expected that BVE would contribute to the field of evaluation instruments for Brazilian elderly population and that the present study contributes to an increase interest in psychometric evaluation and critical use of instruments

Assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo identificar dentre as variáveis sociodemográficas, de saúde autorrelatadas e indicadores de fragilidade, quais fatores são independente e conjuntamente associados às dificuldades observadas na realização das AIVD. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter transversal, conduzido com 2282 idosos que participaram da pesquisa "Estudo da fragilidade em idosos brasileiros", desenvolvida pela Rede FIBRA - Fragilidade em idosos brasileiros, pólo UNICAMP. As AIVDs foram avaliadas pela Escala de Lawton e a síndrome da fragilidade foi identificada pelos critérios propostos por Fried et al. (2001). Verificou-se que cerca de 38% da amostra apresentou dependência para pelo menos uma AIVD. Análises de regressão multivariada indicaram que os fatores mais fortemente associados à dificuldade nestas atividades foram ser frágil ou pré frágil, ter 80 anos ou mais, ter renda familiar de 0 a 3 salários mínimos e apresentar sintomas depressivos. Conclui-se que a melhora das condições de saúde dos idosos brasileiros está intimamente relacionada à melhora das condições socioeconômicas, à diminuição das condições associadas à fragilidade e à melhora em saúde mental. O desenvolvimento de medidas preventivas à síndrome da fragilidade e de programas terapêuticos para a prevenção de sintomatologia depressiva faz parte da atenção integral à pessoa idosa / Abstract: Functionality is a new health paradigm among the elderly. Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) are an important indicator of health, as they are the first activities to be impaired in the presence of cognitive impairment and they are essential for the maintenance of the elderly in their social context. Thus, this study aimed to identify among sociodemographic variables, self-reported health indicators and markers of frailty, which factors are independently and jointly associated with perceived difficulties in performing IADL. This was a cross sectional study, conducted with 2282 seniors who participated in the study "Study of frailty among elderly Brazilians," developed by the FIBRA network, at UNICAMP. IADLs were assessed by the Lawton scale and the frailty syndrome was identified by the criteria proposed by Fried et al. (2001). Multivariate regression analyzes indicated that about 38% of participants showed limitations in at least one IADL. The factors most strongly associated with difficulty in these activities were being frail or pre frail, being 80 years or older, having a family income of 0 to 3 minimum wages and depressive symptoms. We concluded that the improvement of the health conditions of older Brazilians is closely related to the improvement of socioeconomic conditions, the reduction of conditions associated with frailty and improvement in the mental health of seniors. The development of preventive measures for the frailty syndrome and therapeutic programs for the prevention of depressive symptoms should be part of the comprehensive care of the elderly / Mestrado / Gerontologia / Mestra em Gerontologia
