“…For example, the total mean ACE-R score for illiterate individuals was 45.9, while for elderly individuals with 12 or more years of education, the total mean score was 90.1, and this difference was reflected across all five domains. The study also found that the cutoff score to differentiate cognitively normal individuals from dementia in elderly individuals with less than five years of education was 55, while for more educated elderly individuals, it was 63 30 . A study carried out in Brazil with 167 elderly individuals reported that participants with lower education levels showed worse results for visual attention, reaction time, and learning skills.…”

“…This is relevant, especially in developing countries where a significant number of older adults have limited education 23,29 . A study by César et al 30 evaluated 630 elderly Brazilians in an effort to provide ACE-R norms for seniors with different educational levels. They found that the scores in the separate ACE-R domains, and the total, varied significantly according to the educational level of the sample.…”

Objectives: To explore the socioeconomic, demographic and psychosocial factors associated with cognitive performance in elderly caregivers from Brazil. Methods: We evaluated 351 Brazilian elderly caregivers attending primary healthcare services regarding sociodemographic and care variables. Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) domains of orientation/attention, memory, verbal fluency, language and visuospatial were used as dependent variables in the Tobit model. Results: Literacy and family income were positively associated with all ACE-R domains. Age, gender, time of care (days/week) were negatively associated with some cognitive domains. Moreover, receiving emotional help and the level of hope were positively associated with specific domains. Discussion: The results may be useful for planning interventions aimed at elderly caregivers in order to prevent deficits in the different cognitive domains.

“…Generally, studies with elder caregivers have revealed a close relation between burden and stress levels (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) . The excessive burdens are defined as multi-dimensional answers to a negative care-related evaluation, while the perceived stress is the negative perception of a person regarding their daily life situations as a whole.…”

“…The general score varies from 0 to 100, and the highest the result, the better the cognitive function. In a Brazilian study who used a sample of elders from the community, the cut off point for this assessment was 65, with a sensibility of 75.6% and a specificity of 73.8% (10) . To our analyses, the same cut off point was used (65 points), and the reference was the group of elders who were caregivers and were below this point (current study Cronbach's alpha = 0.94).…”

Resumo OBJETIVO Comparar o perfil de saúde física, cognitiva e psicológica e o contexto de cuidado de idosos cuidadores de idosos em diferentes arranjos de moradia. MÉTODO Estudo quantitativo e transversal realizado com 349 cuidadores divididos em arranjos de moradia unigeracional, bigeracional e multigeracional. Para avaliação foram utilizados questionários sociodemográfico e de cuidado, e instrumentos de avaliações da saúde física, cognitiva e psicológica. Para análises dos dados foram utilizados os testes Qui-quadrado e U Mann Whitney. RESULTADOS Os idosos cuidadores de lares unigeracionais eram mais velhos e independentes para as atividades instrumentais de vida diária. Nos arranjos de moradia multigeracionais houve proporção significativamente maior de cuidadores que consideravam a renda familiar insuficiente, recebiam ajuda emocional e sentiam-se mais sobrecarregados e estressados. CONCLUSÃO As diferenças identificadas entre os grupos podem contribuir para elaboração de políticas de cuidado e promoção da saúde de idosos cuidadores.

Objectives To describe the process of translating and adapting the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ) from English into Brazilian Portuguese and to present the results of its test-retest reliability using the version developed for interview application. Methodology The process was based on the guidelines of the International Society for Pharmaeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR), which propose 10 steps for the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of self-administered instruments. The original authors of the RSQ have agreed to the translation. The interview version was applied to a sample of 43 healthy elders (≥60 years old) enrolled in a primary health care program in the city of Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, and then reapplied. The scores of the two applications were compared using the paired sample t-test. Results Only 6 of the 30 items required the adaptation of words or expressions to maintain its conceptual and semantic equivalence. The self-administered form of the RSQ posed difficulties for elders due to visual deficiencies and lower education level, both common in this age group, demonstrating a need for the development of a version of the RSQ in a structured interview format. Only the measure for secure attachment presented significant differences after the application of the retest, indicating reliability of the version being proposed. Conclusion Translation of the RSQ is the first step towards the validation of an attachment evaluation instrument for use in the elderly population in Brazil, allowing for future studies on this topic.
