“…The prevalence of complications on this disease increases as the renal function decreases about 50% or more (21) . A study conducted simultaneously, in the same ambulatory and with the same target group of the present study, that evaluated the level of fragility of the elderly with CKD in conservative treatment, verified that in this group the patients presented some degree of fragility, and that a greater fragility is correlated with a greater number of clinical complications (22) . Although in this study, patients were not classified regarding the stage of CKD, the elderly patients attended to in the ambulatory unit present 70% or more of impaired renal function, which characterizes the final stages of the disease.…”

Objective:To describe the quality of life (QOL) of elderly people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in conservative treatment, correlating it with sociodemographic and health-related aspects. Method: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive study that used: a previously validated instrument for data collection; the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD QOL scales; and the MiniMental State Examination. Results: Thirty-fi ve elderly people (54.30% females), with mean age of 68.26 years, took part in the study. They reported, on average, 3.70 comorbidities and 5.60 complications related to CKD. Regarding QOL, the "psychological" domain (54.40±16.29) and the "death and dying" facet (37.32±23.79) were considered the most damaged ones; the most strengthened were "social relationships" (70.36±18.32) and "intimacy" (66.61±16.80). A positive correlation was verifi ed between comorbidities and complications (p = 0.015), and an inverse correlation between the number of complications and QOL (p = 0.004). Conclusion: These results, if considered during the care planning, may help improving the quality of the care provided for elderly people with CKD.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever a qualidade de vida (QV) de idosos com Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) em tratamento conservador, correlacionando-a com aspectos sociodemográfi cos e de saúde. Método: Pesquisa quantitativa, transversal e descritiva que utilizou: um instrumento pré-validado para coleta dos dados de caracterização; as escalas de QV WHOQOL-BREF e WHOQOL-OLD; e o Mini Exame do Estado Mental. Resultados: Participaram 35 idosos (54,30% mulheres) com média de 68,26 anos. Referiram em média 3,70 comorbidades e 5,60 complicações relacionadas à DRC. Na QV, demonstraram-se mais prejudicados o domínio "psicológico" (54,40±16,29) e a faceta "morte e morrer" (37,32±23,79); e mais fortalecidos o domínio "relações sociais" (70,36±18,32) e a faceta "intimidade" (66,61±16,80). Verifi cou-se correlação positiva entre número de comorbidades e de complicações (p = 0,015), e correlação inversa entre número de complicações e a QV (p = 0,004). Conclusão: Se levados em consideração durante o planejamento de cuidados, tais resultados podem auxiliar na melhoria da qualidade da assistência ao idoso com DRC.

Objective :to evaluate the presence of depressive symptoms and cognitive disorders before and after an intervention program with a digital therapeutic game among elderly persons undergoing hemodialysis. Method: a quasi-experimental study was carried out with 26 elderly patients on hemodialysis. For the data collection, a questionnaire relating to sociodemographic and health conditions, the Geriatric Depression Scale - 15 items and Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised were used. The intervention with the digital therapeutic game was performed over 5 sessions. Results: of the participants, 80.8% were male, with a mean age of 66.7 (± 5.8) years. The mean pre-intervention depressive symptom score was 3.9 (± 3.0) while post-intervention it was 2.8 (± 2.9), representing a statistically significant difference (p = 0.005). Regarding cognitive function, there was no statistically significant difference before and after the intervention. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean of the depressive symptom scores, which were lower after the intervention. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean of the cognitive assessments. Conclusion: intervention studies with patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment are still scarce and this study describes the positive results of an intervention with a digital therapeutic game, demonstrating improvement in the depressive symptoms of the participants.

“…With regard to the general characterization of the sample, the findings are similar to the results of national surveys about frailty in elderly living in the community (8) , institutionalized elderly (11) or in outpatient care (4,12) , which indicate average age of 68 years and married status (12) , with low schooling (11) , who did not live alone (8) , who referred diseases (4)(5) , used medications (12) , had suffered falls in the last 12 months and had been hospitalized in the last 12 months (8,12) .…”

Objective: to evaluate the factors associated with frailty syndrome in elderly women in an outpatient clinic. Methods: cross-sectional study with 252 elderly women. The Mini Mental State Examination and the Edmonton Frail Scale were applied. The association of variables was performed using simple linear regression (Fisher's F and Student's t tests), p≤0.05. Results: there was prevalence of married women (44.4%) with low schooling (50.0%) and living with relatives (50.8%). Among them, 28.6% had mild, 13.0% moderate and 3.6% severe frailty. The factors associated with the syndrome were age (p=0.021), level of education (p=0.001), living with relatives (p=0.013), illnesses (p=0.023), falls (p=0.001) and hospitalization in the last 12 months (p=0.001). Conclusion: evidenced that almost half of the sample presented some type of frailty. Thus, it is important to evaluate this population frequently, considering the associated factors that can contribute to frailty.
