“…42 The relationships of these variables with age and gender also provide interesting results. First, with respect to age, previous studies have shown that age is related to greater cognitive impairment, 21 an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, 50 and a higher level of dependence 51 as our work confirms. However, other studies found no relationship between age and psychotropic drug use.…”

Background & aims: The behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia are very disruptive and take on more and more relevance given the problem they pose to the people who suffer from them and their environment. In many cases these symptoms can be the trigger for caregivers to use physical or chemical restraints to alleviate the intrinsic and extrinsic damage they can cause. This work aims to evaluate the appearance of these symptoms, the prescription of psychotropic drugs, and other psychofunctional variables that may be related, such as the cognitive, functional or emotional state, in institutional settings. Methods: The relationship between these variables and age and gender has also been evaluated. The sample consisted of 450 institutionalized elderly people. Results: The data obtained indicate a large percentage of people who present behavioral alterations and an over-prescription of psychotropic drugs. The majority of the sample is made up of women which present moderately severe fall rates, functional levels of dependence, cognitive impairment and emotional states. With regard to the relationships found, age is related to greater consumption of psychotropic drugs and worse gait stability. In terms of gender, women are the most medicated, with the worst cognitive, functional status and worse gait stability. The presence of BPSD is directly related to the consumption of psychotropic drugs and other psychofunctional variables such as greater cognitive impairment, functional dependence or worse mood. Conclusion: It is necessary to design non-pharmacological interventions in institutional settings that influence the analyzed variables to improve people's well-being and quality of life.

“…Por otra parte, es bien sabido que existen diferencias entre las personas mayores institucionalizadas y no institucionalizadas respecto a variables relacionadas con el envejecimiento con éxito y la calidad de vida como son las AVD y el bienestar (Meléndez, Navarro, Sales y Mayordomo, 2012), siendo estas diferencias desfavorables para el grupo institucionalizado. Tal y como seña-lan estos autores, y partiendo de la idea de que el envejecimiento es un suceso vital que puede modifi car el bienestar, la institucionalización parece disminuir en mayor medida éste, debido posiblemente a la pérdida de control sobre las situaciones de su vida y de habilidad para manejarlas, lo que da lugar a una reducción del estado emocional de la persona institucionalizada.…”

Resumen: Numerosos estudios han puesto de manifi esto la alta prevalencia de la depresión, cuyas cifras son todavía mayores en la vejez, especialmente en personas mayores institucionalizadas. Ello hace que encontrar un tratamiento efi caz para combatirla sea esencial. Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprobar que la aplicación de una terapia de reestructuración cognitiva en ancianos deprimidos institucionalizados sin deterioro cognitivo es efectiva para la mejora de la depresión así como en diferentes variables consideradas. Para ello, se realizó un estudio experimental aleatorizado con dos grupos de análisis (experimental y control), en el que, tras la aplicación de dicha terapia, se evaluó el cambio sufrido en las diferentes variables psicológicas medidas en una muestra de 8 ancianos deprimidos institucionalizados sin daño neurológico de la provincia de Albacete. Los resultados encontrados, demostraron resultados positivos de esta terapia para reducir la depresión en ancianos deprimidos institucionalizados sin deterioro cognitivo, así como en la mejora las diferentes variables consideradas.Palabras clave: Depresión; personas mayores; terapia cognitiva; reestructuración cognitiva.
