“…This finding is similar to those of other Brazilian studies in the older population. 19,23 A similar prevalence was also found in Serbia, 24 but a significantly lower rate was reported in Canada (NSP < 20,00%) in a study with a similar age range and design. 25 Because self-perceived health is a subjective, multifactorial concept that includes individual, collective, and socioenvironmental aspects, 26 the discrepancies may be due to socioeconomic and cultural differences between countries.…”

Objective: To investigate the relationship between anticholinergic load (ACL) and self-perceived general health in adults in a medium-sized municipality in southern Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on 2015 data from a medium-sized municipality in southern Brazil. All respondents aged 44 years or older who reported using drugs in the 2 weeks before the interview were included (n = 662). The Anticholinergic Drug Scale was used to measure the ACL. Self-perceived health was categorized as positive self-perception (PSP) or negative self-perception (NSP). Crude and adjusted Poisson regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between ACL and self-perceived health. Results: NSP was found in 50.91% of 662 respondents. Significant ACL, older age, lower economic status, lower education, polypharmacy, and depression correlated with a higher frequency of NSP. Individuals with significant ACL had a prevalence of NSP of 1.27 (95% confidence interval: 1.02 – 1.58), and each additional ACL level represented a 6.10% higher chance of worse self-perceived health, regardless of confounding factors. Conclusions: An association was found between significant ACL and NSP, with an effect dependent on ACL level.

“…This result was in congruence with (17) that conducted entitled "Structure and process quality as predictors of satisfaction with elderly care" and found that majority of participants had significant relation between nurse's level of satisfaction and their gender. Conversely, this result was in disagreement with (18) that conducted entitled "Self-perceived quality of health and satisfaction by elderly seen by the Family Health Strategy team" and found that majority of participants had significant relation between nurse's level of satisfaction and their ages.…”

Background: Aging is the process of progressive change in the biological, psychological and social structure of individuals'. Quality is affected by both the technical performance of providers and the extent to which a system reaches those in need. Aim of Study: The study aimed to assess the quality of health care delivered to old age and factors affecting quality of health care. Subjects and Method: The study was conducted in the inpatient units at Beni-Suef university hospital. Study sample were nurses and patients: For nurses; all nurses who have experience more than one year at medical surgical department, urinary tract diseases, and provide care for geriatric patients was included in this study. For patients; convenient sample from the pre mentioned setting. Two data collection tools were used to carry out the current study namely; structured Interviewing questionnaire and observational checklists. Results: 26% of the nurses were satisfied according to work place satisfaction, the same was percent unsatisfied according to work place satisfaction, and the rest of them (48%) had average level of satisfaction. 58% of nurses had unsatisfied level according to their performance. (42%) of participants had satisfied level according to their performance. Conclusion and Recommendations: 38% of patients had fair level about their evaluation, 33% of them had excellent level about their evaluation to quality of health care, and 29% of them had average level and 41% of them had negative level of satisfaction. Periodic assessment of nurses› perception about quality of care of elderly patient. Regular implementation of training programs regarding quality of care.

“…5 Chronic diseases are the ones that most affect the elderly, and they lead to use of large-scale continuous medication. 37 In addition to medications for diabetes, depression and anxiety, others can be considered, such as medications for cardiovascular diseases, nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal tract diseases and metabolic disorders. Therefore, there is an interaction of factors that might cause dry mouth sensation or hyposalivation.…”

Saliva plays an important role in oral health. Besides being involved in protection against bacteria and fungi, it transports nutrients and digestive enzymes, lubricates the mucosa, facilitates mastication, swallowing and speech, and acts in the process of tooth remineralization. 1,2 Saliva is produced by salivary glands, which are exocrine, such as the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. These are the most important pairs of glands and are responsible for 95% of saliva production. 3 In addition, there are other smaller-sized glands throughout the oral cavity, lips and tongue, which help in the process of salivation. These structures produce saliva at certain moments and respond to a series of sensory, taste and olfactory stimuli.The volume of saliva production may vary according to stimulation. The salivary flow is greater after meals and lower during sleep. In healthy individuals, there is, on average, 1000 ml to 1500 ml of saliva secretion in a day. 3 However, there are several consequences of decreased salivary flow. These include some diseases and problems such as cavities, periodontal disease, various infections, dysphagia, halitosis and difficulties with the stability of dental prostheses. 4 Dry mouth syndrome or xerostomia is defined as decreased salivary flow or hypofunction of the salivary glands. 5 Its origins are multicausal and might be the result of a change in the salivary glands or a systemic imbalance. [5][6][7] Some determinants such as continuous use of medication, radiation, systemic diseases and factors common to aging might be associated with a dry mouth condition. 8 Xerostomia is not considered to be a disease but, rather, a manifestation of a series of pathological conditions that considerably alter patients' quality of life. It can affect chewing, swallowing, use of prostheses and speech. 9 Villa et al. reported that xerostomia that is secondary to hyposalivation may also result in fungal infections such as candidiasis, tooth decay, halitosis, changes to the sense
