“…A las actividades de cuidado que le brindan mayor importancia son los medicamentos y cuidado de los pies, similar a lo mencionado en el artículo de Hernández-Cortés et al, (14) donde menciona que los adultos mayores le dan mayor peso a la medicación que otros factores de cuidado a la salud.…”

Self-care in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Monterrey, México. SUMMARYObjectives: to determine self-care differences by age and gender in older adults with type 2 diabetes, attending in a family health clinic. Material and Methods: The sample was 109 older adults (63 women and 46 men). The self-care was evaluated with the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities. The data analysis was used descriptive statistics (frequencies, measures of dispersion and 95%CI), Mann-Whitney and difference of proportions. Results: The mean of diagnosis time was 12.24 (± 9.9) years, 31.2% (34) said to have some complication by the pathology, the most common of this was retinopathy on 22.9% (25), 33.0% (36) of older did self-care practices, the care that were performed more frequentlywerecare of foot and drugs; The women had self-care practices, this data was reported slightly higher in men (28.6% vs 39.1%; p> 0.05). Adults of 60-69 years had higher self-care practices to those over 70 years (4.9 % vs 30.4 %; p> 0.05). Conclusions: Self-care practices in this population are poor despite they have a disease, according to activities with higher frequencies we concludes that older give most importance to the consumption of drugs, and foot care. Men and younger older adults are reporting higher performing self-care activities.

“…In turn, this lack of cognitive specification limits prediction power of adherence to healthy behavior. For instance, Hernandez et al [2] have shown that cognitive specification of systematic thinking underlying judgment formation toward health risk behaviors in people with diabetes allows specific intervention on medication schedules and dietary behavior. Specifically, these authors found that diabetics tend to use a weighted summative cognitive rule to integrate sources of information on medication schedules, stress factors and exercise.…”

A sample of 80 secondary students was required to take an information integration theory study to explore judgment formation toward health risk behavior regarding obesity. Here, twelve social scenarios containing a simulated actor were implemented (vignettes) having in mind a three factor experimental factor design (diet, weight and physical activity). Subjects had to read each vignette and provide an answer by marking ten points anchored scale to provide judgment on actors' possible health risk outcome. Results showed that study participants valuated diet as the most relevant factor, followed by the description of weight and finally followed by the factor of physical activity. They impose systematic thinking to integrate different sources of information provided by factor manipulation in the vignettes by using a cognitive summative rule. Implications of this study result to clinical intervention in obesity as well as for theoretical considerations of cognitive models of health risk behavior are discussed in the present article.
