Los datos se recolectaron entre septiembre y diciembre de 2019, utilizando un instrumento para obtener datos sobre el perfil sociodemográfico y clínico y la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica mediante estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Resultados: se observó que el 75,7% de los ancianos que padecían diabetes no tenían síntomas depresivos. Se registró una asociación significativa entre los síntomas depresivos y las variables ingresos personales (p=0,044), tipo de ingresos (p=0,020), dislipidemia (p=0,038), complicaciones de la diabetes (p=0,045) y retinopatía (p=0,033). Conclusión: los factores sociales, de salud y relacionados con la diabetes pueden ejercer influencias negativas sobre el estado psicológico de los ancianos y favorece la aparición de síntomas depresivos.

Resumo Objetivo Correlacionar a capacidade funcional e o estresse percebido com a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de sobreviventes de acidente vascular encefálico. Métodos Estudo analítico transversal, realizado com 160 sobreviventes de acidente vascular encefálico cadastrados em Unidades de Saúde da Família. Os dados foram coletados mediante a utilização de um instrumento semiestruturado para obtenção dos dados sociodemográficos e de saúde, o Índice de Barthel, a Escala de Estresse Percebido e a Escala de Qualidade de Vida Específica para acidente vascular encefálico. As correlações entre os escores dos instrumentos foram verificadas pelo Teste de Correlação de Spearman. Resultados Os participantes apresentaram dependência funcional e estresse percebido moderados. Evidenciou-se baixa qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde, com maior comprometimento nos domínios papéis sociais e papéis familiares. Verificou-se correlação estatística significativa entre a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde com a capacidade funcional (r=705; p<0,001) e o estresse percebido (r=-436; p<0,001). Conclusão A capacidade funcional e o estresse percebido relacionaram-se de forma significativa à qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pessoas acometidas por acidente vascular encefálico, demonstrando que a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde se eleva à medida que a funcionalidade aumenta e o estresse diminui.

Abstract Objective To correlate functional capacity and perceived stress with the health-related quality of life of stroke survivors. Methods This is a cross-sectional analytical study, conducted with 160 stroke survivors registered in Family Health Units. Data were collected using a semi-structured instrument to obtain sociodemographic and health data, the Barthel Index, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale. Correlations between instrument scores were verified by Spearman's correlation test. Results Participants showed moderate functional dependence and perceived stress. Low health-related quality of life was evidenced, with greater impairment in the social roles and family roles domains. There was a statistically significant correlation between health-related quality of life and functional capacity (r=705; p<0.001) and perceived stress (r=-436; p<0.001). Conclusion Functional capacity and perceived stress were significantly related to the health-related quality of life of people affected by stroke, demonstrating that health-related quality of life increases as functionality increases and stress decreases.
