“…In addition to the heterogeneity of the perception of health of the elderly in the different regions of Brazil, a profile of frailty has been identified in relation to the functional capacity of elderly persons, who were dependent in the performance of daily activities 8 , while some studies have found that elderly from LTCFs who did not suffer cognitive deficiency were, for the most part, functionally independent 9,10 . Therefore, identifying the profile of the institutionalized elderly in different regions can contribute to the creation of public policies that are more suitable for individual needs, with a view to improving the quality of life of these populations.…”

Objective: to describe sociodemographic and family relationships, health status, depression and degree of functional capacity in institutionalized elderly persons in eleven long-term care facilities for the elderly in the north coastal region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out of 60 institutionalized elderly persons without cognitive impairment, confirmed by a score greater than 13 in the Mini Mental State Exam. Questionnaires were used to obtain data on sociodemographic conditions, family relationships, and self-perception of health. Functional capacity was evaluated with the Barthel Index and the Geriatric Depression Scale was applied. Results: A predominance of women, widowed and single, with a of low level of education and precarious financial status, most of whom who did not have children, was observed. The elderly persons complained about difficulty walking (38.3%), generalized pain (16.7%) and vision problems (13.3%). The majority (95%) reported suffering from two to three chronic diseases and making daily use of three or more drugs. Although 55% of the participants presented depressive symptoms and morbidity, they reported functional independence and 50% rated their health as good. Conclusions: These data contributed to the knowledge of the health status and functional capacity of these institutionalized elderly persons, aiming to improve the care provided to this public.

“…A depressão e as alterações cognitivas são os principais problemas de saúde mental no idoso em ILP, na maioria das vezes estão associadas e acarretam o aumento da morbidade e mortalidade (BORGES; MENDES, 2015). Pagotto et al (2016) aponta que a institucionalização é mais comum entre as mulheres pelas diferenças entre sobrevivência e as morbidades associadas destacadas entre o sexo feminino e masculino. Além disso, sabe-se que as mulheres apresentam maior expectativa de vida que os homens.…”

O envelhecimento populacional ocorre de forma acelerada nos dias atuais. Entre os idosos que vivenciam a perda da funcionalidade destacam-se aqueles que residem em instituição de longa permanência (ILP). O estudo objetiva conhecer a função cognitiva de idosos que vivem em instituição de longa permanência no Sertão Central. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram coletados em uma instituição de longa permanência, localizada na zona urbana de Quixeramobim - CE. Participaram do estudo 35 idosos. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se um instrumento para levantamento de dados sociodemográfico. Além desse instrumento, foi aplicado o Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) para avaliação cognitiva. Todos os aspectos éticos foram respeitados, a pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da Unicatólica sob o nº 2.505.547. Entre os participantes, 65,7% são do sexo feminino. A idade média foi de 73 anos (± 7,5 anos), variando de 60 a 92 anos. O score médio total do MEEM foi de 17,3 pontos entre os idosos, referente aos critérios de avaliação o que obteve menor pontuação foi o item de cálculo e atenção, com relação de acerto de 0,68 pontos do total de 5 pontos, o item linguagem de reconhecimento obteve melhor média com 1,9 pontos do total de 2. Os idosos obtiveram 17,3 pontos (escore total médio) no MEEM, abaixo dos 20 pontos proposto pela Sociedade Brasileira de Neurologia (SBN) para analfabetos, visto que este nível de instrução correspondia a 91,4% da amostra, o que nos indica um déficit cognitivo. EVALUATION OF THE COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN ELDERLY PERSONS LIVING IN A LONG-STAY INSTITUTION ABSTRACT Population aging occurs rapidly today. Among the elderly who experience loss of functionality, those who live in a long-term institution (LTI) stand out. This study aims to know the cognitive function of elderly people living in a long-term institution in the Central Hinterland. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected at a long - term institution, located in the urban area of Quixeramobim - CE. 35 subjects participated in the study. A sociodemographic data collection instrument was used to collect data. In addition to this instrument, the Mini-Exam of the Mental State (MEMS) was applied for cognitive evaluation. All the ethical aspects were respected, the research was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the Unicatólica under nº 2,505,547. Among the participants, 65.7% were female. The mean age was 73 years (± 7.5 years), ranging from 60 to 92 years. The mean total score of the MEMS was 17.3 points among the elderly, referring to the evaluation criteria. The lowest score was the item of calculation and attention, with a score of 0.68 points out of the total of 5 points. item recognition language got better average with 1.9 points out of the total of 2. The elderly had 17.3 points (average total score) in the MEMS, below the 20 points proposed by the Brazilian Neurology Society (BNS) for illiterates, since this level of education corresponded to 91.4% of the sample, which indicates cognitive deficit.

“…The relationship between pain [9] and the fear of falling with physical performance is already well established in the literature [10][11][12]; however, these investigations were viewed separately, that is, to the best of our knowledge, no other study has analyzed the association between these three variables together, especially in a population residing in an LSI. One hypothesis for this is that both pain and the fear of falling lead to a non-performance of daily activities, which can lead to a series of complications, especially in the functional capacity, independence and autonomy of these elderly people.…”

Introduction: To analyze the relationship between pain, the fear of falling and functional performance in older people living in a long-stay institution (LSI) in the interior of northeastern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 133 older residents in an LSI in the State of Paraíba. The instruments used for data collection were the Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM), the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Results: Pain was reported by 57.5% of those evaluated, 48% being classified as chronic pain and presenting an average of 25.2 in the GPM. As for physical performance, assessed using the SPPB, the 133 older residents showed moderate to poor performance, with an average of 6.43 (±2.96) on the scale. By correlating the adjusted GPM values with the FES-I, a weak and statistically significant positive correlation was obtained (ρ = 0.31: p < 0.001). Conclusions: It can be concluded that those who reported pain had a worse performance in the applied tests, in addition to having higher scores on the scale referring to a fear of falling.
