- Dependencia y riesgo de caídas en las personas mayores residentes en una comunidad ruralPublication . Coimbra, Vera; Marques, Ermelinda; Chaves, ClaudiaEncuadramiento: La población de personas mayor se encuentra expuesta a un mayor riesgo de caídas. La dependencia se convierte en un factor de riesgo para las caídas y concomitantemente una consecuencia de las mismas. Objetivo: Evaluar el riesgo de caídas en los mayores residentes en una comunidad rural y su relación con la dependencia. Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, transversal, descriptivo y correlacional, realizado en una muestra probabilística, seleccionada de forma aleatoria simples, con una frecuencia estimada del 50% y con un margen de error aceptable del 5% y un nivel de confianza del 95%. La muestra consta de 321 personas mayores, usuarios de una Unidad de Cuidados de Salud Personalizados (Portugal) 175 (54,5%) mujeres y 146 (45,5%) hombres. La recogida de datos se realizó completando un protocolo de evaluación, utilizando la escala de Morse, validado para la población portuguesa por Costa-Días, Ferreira e Oliveira (2014) y el Índice de Barthel modificado, versión portuguesa de Araujo, Ribeiro, Oliveira y Pinto (2007). Resultados: El 33% de la muestra presenta bajo riesgo de caída y el 7,2% alto riesgo, evaluado con la escala de Morse. Con la aplicación del Índice de Barthel, verificamos que, en la muestra, el 3,7% de los mayores es totalmente dependiente, 1,2% tiene dependencia grave, 36,1% tiene pendencia moderada y la mayoría (58,9%) es totalmente independiente. Se observó la existencia de relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el riesgo de caídas y el Índice de Barthel (rs = - 0,51; p <0,001). Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de implementación de un proyecto comunitario, debiendo ser considerada la dependencia como un factor de riesgo para las caídas. Se sugiere también el estudio de la dependencia como consecuencia de las caídas.
- Risk of falls and social determinants in the elderly living in a rural community.Publication . Coimbra, Vera; Marques, Ermelinda; Chaves, Claudia; Saraiva, Renata JabourAbstract: Objective: To evaluate the risk of falls and to identify the social determinants associated with them in the elderly living in a rural community. Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study, performed in a probabilistic sample, randomly selected, with an estimated frequency of 50% and with an acceptable margin of error of 5% and a confidence level of 95%. Study carried out at the Primary Health Care level, in a Personalized Health Care Unit, of the Northern Region of Portugal. The randomly selected sample consisted of 321 people over the age of 65, with a mean age of 76.11 ± 6.79, living in the community, of whom 175 (54.5%) were female and 146 (45.5%) were male. Data collection was done through the straightforward filling out of an evaluation protocol, using the Morse scale. Results: The Morse scale allowed us to verify that 33.0% of the sample presented a low risk of falling and 7.2% a high risk. The risk of falls was associated with age, sex, the fact that the elderly lives with other relatives, the unmarried, those with the lowest incomes and those who receive support. Conclusion: Social determinants have an impact on the risk of falls and should be considered in fall prevention programs.
