“…Alguns autores sugerem que fatores como isolamento social, viuvez, e a falta de uma pessoa confidente parecem estar associados à maior ocorrência de depressão. A internação na ILPI pode propiciar a ocorrência dos fatores mencionados anteriormente e que não podem ser controlados metodologicamente, mas que, entretanto, podem interferir nos resultados da terapia proposta (24,25).…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Verificar os efeitos da intervenção clown no padrão de depressão em idosos institucionalizados. Material e método: Estudo quantitativo experimental, realizado numa instituição de longa permanência de Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Utilizou-se a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica, Yesavage (GDS-15), aplicada em dois momentos, em dois grupos: intervenção (n=14) e controle (n=10). As intervenções foram visitas onde acadêmicos vestidos de palhaço realizaram atividades lúdicas. A comparação estatística da efetividade das intervenções foi realizada através do método JT. Resultados: Os resultados no primeiro momento demonstraram que no grupo controle 40% apresentavam depressão e após as atividades 50% apresentavam tal quadro. Já no grupo experimental não foram observadas mudanças quanto ao número de indivíduos com transtorno depressivo antes e após as intervenções. Pode-se inferir que a terapia do humor foi benéfica do ponto de vista da não progressão da depressão entre os idosos institucionalizados. Conclusão: Tornam-se necessários novos estudos a cerca da efetividade da animação clown para melhora dos traços de depressão em idosos.Palavras chave: Terapia do Riso, depressão, idosos, instituição de longa permanência para idosos.

“…These data, together with those that emphasize the upward trend in the number of institutionalized older adults in countries such as Spain ( Instituto Nacional de Estadística , 2004 ; Instituto Nacional de Estadística , 2013 ), make it essential to delve into the factors that determine the mental health of this priority population group. Thus, both reviews ( Djernes , 2006 ) and studies specifically focused on institutionalized older adults ( Santiago & Mattos , 2014 ) agree that among the leading determinants of depressive disorders are mainly demographic, social, psychological, functional and health aspects. However, while some of these variables (i.e., comorbidity with other diseases, pain, cognitive impairment, previous hospitalizations, lack of social support, etc.)…”

“…However, while some of these variables (i.e., comorbidity with other diseases, pain, cognitive impairment, previous hospitalizations, lack of social support, etc.) have been widely studied and associated with the prevalence of depression in institutionalized older adults ( McCusker et al , 2013 ; Santiago & Mattos , 2014 ), others, such as the aspects related to the management of emotions, have received scarce attention to date ( Lloyd et al , 2012 ). Therefore it is necessary to identify those variables that can promote and have a positive impact on the wellbeing of this group.…”

Background. This work examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and depressive symptomatology in institutionalized older adults, delving into the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Considering that previous evidence of the variation of the EI-depression relationship depending on whether the emotional ability or the perception of that ability is evaluated, a model of multiple mediation was tested in which the dimensions of emotional self-efficacy (ESE) act as mediators in the relationship between ability EI and depressive symptomatology.Methods. The sample consisted of 115 institutionalized older adults (47.82% women; 80.3 ± 7.9 years of age) from the province of Jaén (Spain) who completed a test of ESE, a measure of ability EI, and a self-administered questionnaire of depressive symptoms.Results. The results showed a positive association between older adults’ emotional performance and depressive symptomatology, finding stronger associations with ESE than with EI abilities. In addition, multiple mediation analyses showed that two of the four dimensions of ESE fully mediated the relationship between ability EI and depressive symptoms.Discussion. These findings suggest that older adults’ high levels of emotional competence generate a feeling of ESE which can protect them against depressive symptoms. This work supports the predictive validity of emotional abilities and ESE for the mental health of a group that is particularly vulnerable to depression, institutionalized older adults. The limitations of the work are discussed, and future lines of research were considered.

“…14 The study participants were evaluated for the presence of pain, location of pain and intensity, Body Mass Index (BMI), daily activities, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), changes in gait, movement limitation, joint instability, joint stiffness, dizziness, number of falls and falls in the last 3 months. 12,15,16 Several studies have analyzed the gait performance using walkways with electronic pressure sensors. Using the devices, were possible to calculate, among other variables, the waking speed, steps size, cadence (number of steps per minute) and the percentage of dual phase support.…”

Aims: This study aimed to observe the possible benefits of acupuncture in chronic pain and gait performance of oldest-old, people aged 80 and older. Method: The study population consisted of oldest-old with chronic pain. For the initial assessment of pain was used a questionnaire containing a figure with anatomical regions and intensity of pain referred by the participant. The evaluation of the gait performance we used the Zeno walkway that has electronic sensors pressure and evaluates various gait parameters. After 10 acupuncture sessions, pain intensity and gait performance were reevaluated. The sessions had a frequency of twice a week and treatment was performed individually for several protocols points according to the illness or pain reported by each patient. Results: Twenty-three oldest-old were initially enrolled, 16 completed the ten sessions of acupuncture and proposed assessments. In the final evaluation, the intensity of pain decreased in 12 of the 13 sites initially referred. In gait parameters, we achieved significant improvement in step and stride length, increased gait speed and cadence. Conclusions: Demonstrated with this study that the acupuncture treatment was effective in reducing chronic pain and improvement in gait performance of the oldest-old.
