“…A compreensão dos fatores biopsicossociais associados a qualidade de vida de idosos com baixa visão, inclui uma percepção global tanto física quanto mental da pessoa idosa, que podem ser primordiais para o diagnóstico e intervenção precoce, prevenção, reabilitação e promoção da saúde (CARRIJO MF, et al, 2022). Desta maneira, os autores, salientam que os cuidados primários de saúde podem aprimorar as medidas de saúde para a população idosa.…”

“…Considerando, que a visão é um sentido fundamental do ser humano em amplos aspectos que pode influenciar diretamente na qualidade de vida de uma pessoa, especialmente, do idoso, por exemplo, lesões não intencionais e medos constantes de realizar tarefas durante o dia a dia. Além disso, pessoas com visão diminuída podem apresentar maior risco de desenvolver problemas de ansiedade e depressão devido a percepção de não serem capaz de realizar suas tarefas diárias devido a visão está prejudicada (CARRIJO MF, et al, 2022).…”

Objetivo: Identificar as evidências científicas disponíveis na literatura nos últimos cinco anos sobre impactos biopsicossociais da baixa visão na qualidade de vida de pessoas idosas. Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline) via National Center for Biotechnology Information (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus (Elsevier), Scopus (Elsevier) e Embase (Elsevier), realizada em abril de 2023. Foram utilizados os descritores “idoso”; “acuidade visual”, “visão diminuida”. Resultados: A amostra final foi composta por 8 artigos, os quais descreveram os impactos biopsicossociais da baixa visão na qualidade de vida de pessoas idosas de maior evidência na literatura como a probabilidade de desenvolcer sintomas de ansiedade, depressão, isolamento social e risco de quedas. Considerações finais: Os impactos biopsicossociais foram identificados como influenciadores na qualidade de vida das pessoas idosas, em proporções significativas associadas com a baixa visão. Acredita-se que os profissionais da saúde devem estar atentos às alterações biopsicossociais relacionadas a baixa visão do idoso inerentes ao envelhecimento e que podem prejudicar a rotina dessas pessoas, com impacto significativo na qualidade de vida, saúde física e mental.

“…More specifically, older people with sensory impairment may miss words and meanings as well as be unable to read body language, facial expressions, and lip movements during talks, which can cause close relationships to suffer from fatigue, frustration, stress, or resentment in close relationship [ 16 – 18 ]. Furthermore, sensory impairment can lower a person’s quality of life and involvement in society, cause them to feel isolated and embarrassed, and disrupt their relationships with family and friends which may increase risk of depression and cognitive impairment [ 19 ]. However, most studies neglect to examine the social network between older people with sensory impairment, especially when there are additional disorders present.…”

Background Sensory impairment significantly reduces speech discrimination and perception ability, presenting a challenge to effective communication. It can lead to social withdrawal and a reduced social network which can lead to cognitive impairment, seriously affecting the quality of life of older people. However, it is unclear which intervention components are effective to improving social network in older people with sensory impairment. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to summarize interventions designed to improve social network in older people with sensory impairment. Methods We searched seven databases from inception to December 1, 2023. Eligible studies included randomized clinical trials (RCT) and quasi-experimental studies of interventions for older people with sensory impairment aimed at improving social networks. Two reviewers searched databases, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies independently. Results Nine studies including five RCTs and four quasi-experimental studies were selected, enrolling 721 older people with sensory impairment. Methodological quality of the studies was modest. Eight studies demonstrated a positive impact of the interventions used in older people with sensory impairment. The detailed effective intervention components may include communication strategies, resources for older people and their significant others, exercise or tech-back of communication, sensory device fitting, and use and maintenance of sensory devices. Conclusion There are few interventions available for improving social network in older people with sensory impairment. Most interventions mainly focus on communication education and care, and sensory device fitting and education. To improve the social network in older people with sensory impairment, it is necessary to develop more effective, multidisciplinary collaborative effective interventions and conduct more high-quality original studies.

Purpose Evaluate for differences in demographic and clinical characteristics, occurrence of common symptoms, symptom severity scores, and quality of life (QOL) outcomes in survivors with ( n = 155) and without ( n = 118) audiometrically confirmed hearing loss. Methods Survivors, who were recruited from throughout the San Francisco Bay area, completed the self-report questionnaires to obtain the information of demographic and clinical characteristics; the occurrence and severity of depression, anxiety, fatigue, decrements in energy, sleep disturbance, pain, and cognitive impairment; and the general and cancer-specific QOL outcomes. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used to evaluate for differences between the two survivor groups. Results Survivors with audiometrically confirmed hearing loss were older, more likely to be male, were more likely to be unemployed, report a lower annual household income, and had a higher comorbidity burden. Except for the severity of worst pain, no between-group differences were found in the occurrence rates for or severity of any of the symptoms. Survivors with hearing loss reported worse physical function and general health scores. Conclusions While no between-group differences in symptom occurrence rates and severity scores were found, across the total sample, a relatively high percentage of survivors who were over 6 years from their cancer diagnosis reported clinically meaningful levels of depression (25%), anxiety (50%), fatigue (40%), decrements in energy (70%), sleep disturbance (58%), cognitive impairment (57%), and pain (60%). Implications for Cancer Survivors Clinicians need to perform routine assessments of hearing loss, as well as common co-occurring symptoms and initiate individualized symptom management interventions.
