This study was conducted with the goal of evaluating the challenge of diabetes in elderly individuals and affecting factors. This descriptive study was conducted with 88 diabetic patients 65 years of age or older who were admitted to the endocrinology and metabolism disorders outpatient clinic data of the study collected by using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers and the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale. Total score of the scale varies between 19 and 92 points. While a higher score indicates a higher burden a lower score indicates a lower burden, data were analyzed by using Student t test, 1-way analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Subscale and total mean scores of patients were as follows: 9.4 ± 3.2 for symptom burden; 12.4 ± 3.4 for social burden; 11.4 ± 3.3 for burden by dietary restrictions; 11.9 ± 3.7 for burden of worry about diabetes; 4.3 ± 1.3 for burden from treatment dissatisfaction; 9.4 ± 4.6 for burden by oral antidiabetic drugs or insulin; and 58.5 ± 9.6 for total diabetes burden score. Diabetes burden was found to be higher for patients who were at an advanced age, single, female, had a lower income, receiving oral antidiabetic or insulin treatment, and had diabetes duration of 6 to 11 years, a concomitant chronic condition or a diabetic person among first-degree relatives and who did not come for regular follow-up visits, had no assistance for their care, and who stated a poor quality of life and treatment compliance. Elderly diabetic patients were found to have a high total Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale score, and the highest scores were observed for the subscales of burden by dietary restrictions, social burden, and burden of worry about diabetes. Thus, it could be recommended to perform appropriate nursing interventions in order to assess and reduce diabetes challenge during planning of necessary treatment and care in elderly diabetic patients.

“…O que torna o tratamento muito difícil, pois a grande maioria da medicação vai afectar negativamente a QV, através dos efeitos adversos ou através da alteração do estilo de vida associado á terapêutica crónica. Segundo alguns autores (Ucan & Ovavolu, 2010) a QV pode ser afetada pelo estado de saúde, e indicadores socioeconómicos como a pobreza, a baixa escolaridade e o desemprego. Estes dados estão de acordo com o nosso estudo, onde uma qualidade de vida superior em todas as dimensões foi observada nos doentes hipertensos com um nível mais elevado de escolaridade e que estavam a trabalhar na altura do estudo.…”

Cardiovascular disease affects both the physical, psychological and social well-being, thereby the need for assess quality of life. Consequently a good treatment of hypertension requires concern about the quality of life of the patient. Aim: To assess the influence of sociodemographic and clinical factors, in the quality of life of patients with hypertension. Methods: We performed an observational, cross-sectional study, in hypertensive patients followed in community pharmacies. Patients were selected at the pharmacy when they bought an antihypertensive drug or measure blood pressure. To each patient was administered a questionnaire evaluating the gender and age, drug sideeffects, duration of hypertension, blood pressure control, co morbidity, daily therapy, as independent variables and quality of life (assessed by HYPER questionnaire) as the dependent variable. Results: The sample consisted of 1876 hypertensive patients (44% men and 56% women) with a mean age of 60.48 ± 2.17 years. The mean duration of hypertension was 10.56 ±9.25 years. The amounts of drugs taken daily were (4.10 ±2.39) and the number of daily doses (2.50 ±1.09) was highly variable. The most frequent co morbidity was high cholesterol (42% of patients). Stand out that 81.3% of the hypertensive patients had blood pressure controlled. A better quality of life was independently predicted by achieving a controlled blood pressure, an absence of drug side effects and fewer drugs consumed per day. Conclusion: The results show the need to get involved in these patients in terms of representations of the disease when they have an impact on their quality of life. An intervention in patients with hypertension is necessary if we want to promote quality and adaptation to the disease.
