Objective: To identify the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with the functional capacity of elderly individuals with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus. Method: An outpatient, non-probabilistic cross-sectional study, performed in two Health Units in a city from the inland of Bahia, Brazil, with a population of 100 elderly individuals monitored through the HIPERDIA Program. Data was collected using a questionnaire covering socio-demographic data, the Katz index and the Mini Mental State Examination. Results: The analysis showed that 45% of the respondents had some degree of dependence. In the multivariate analysis it as observed that the elderly individuals aged 70 years old or more presented 1.9 times more chances to develop some degree of dependence in relation to those under 70 years old. Considered the same age group, it was shown that those with concomitant comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes) were 1.7 times more likely to develop some dependence compared to those who only had hypertension. Conclusion and implications for practice: It was possible to conclude that functional capacity as a multifactorial condition in this population was determined by age and by the presence of comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes). Identifying these disability-conditioning factors allows for a better planning of nursing care based on promoting a healthy, independent and autonomous aging process.

Objective: To identify the facilitating and hindering conditions of the health/disease transition process in a group of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment based on the theoretical framework of the Transition Theory. Method: A descriptive study implementing a qualitative approach. Data collection occurred through semi-structured interviews conducted between March and April 2018. The Content Analysis Technique was used for analysis and discussion as a methodological framework and the explanatory model of the Transition Theory as a theoretical framework. Results: Twenty-five (25) patients participated in the study. The conditioning factors of the transition process were identified and organized into three thematic categories: Personal conditioning factors in the transition process; Community conditioning factors in the transition process; and Social conditioning factors in the transition process. Conclusion: A predominance of hindering conditioning factors was evidenced in the personal dimension, while facilitating conditioning factors were shown in relation to the community dimension, and finally the conditioning factors were equal regarding the social dimension.
