Asociación entre funcionalidad familiar y deterioro cognitivo leve en la familia con adulto mayor / Association between family functionality and mild cognitive impairment in the family with the elderly

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre funcionalidad familiar y deterioro cognitivo leve en la familia con adulto mayor. Metodología: Diseño transversal analítico en familias con pacientes geriátricos. Se consideró familia con paciente geriátrico cuando al menos uno de sus integrantes tenía más de 60años de edad. Los grupos de comparación fueron la familia con paciente geriátrico sin deterioro cognitivo y la familia con paciente geriátrico con deterioro cognitivo leve determinada con el instrumento MoCA. La funcionalidad familiar se evaluó con el instrumento APGAR familiar, el cual identifica tres categorías: funcionalidad familiar, disfuncionalidad familiar moderada y disfuncionalidad familiar severa. El análisis estadístico incluyó chi cuadrado y prueba de Mann Whitney. Resultados: En la familia con paciente geriátrico, en el grupo sin deterioro cognitivo la prevalencia de funcionalidad familiar es del 89,7% y en el grupo con deterioro cognitivo leve la prevalencia de funcionalidad familiar es del 59,3% (MW=4,87, p<0,000). Conclusión: Existe asociación entre funcionalidad familiar y deterioro cognitivo leve.(AU)

Aim: To determine the association between family functionality and mild cognitive impairment in the family with the elderly. Methodology: Analytical cross-sectional design in families with geriatric patients. A family with a geriatric patient was considered when at least one of its members was over 60years of age. The comparison groups were the family with a geriatric patient without cognitive impairment and the family with a geriatric patient with mild cognitive impairment determined with the MoCA instrument. Family functionality was evaluated with the family APGAR instrument, which identifies three categories: family functionality, moderate family dysfunction, and severe family dysfunction. Statistical analysis included Chi square and Mann-Whitney test. Results: In the family with a geriatric patient, in the group without cognitive impairment the prevalence of family functionality is 89.7% and in the group with mild cognitive impairment the prevalence of family functionality is 59.3% (MW=4.87, P<.000). Conclusion: There is an association between family functionality and mild cognitive impairment.(AU)

Tiempo transcurrido para la recuperación de la calidad de vida en pacientes que presentaron COVID-19 y fueron hospitalizados / Time elapsed for the recovery of the quality of life in patients who presented COVID-19 and were hospitalized

Introducción. El COVID-19 grave con foco neumónico se maneja en hospital, en esta población las secuelas físicas y funcionales posterior al egreso hospitalario son más frecuentes, involucran la calidad de vida y tienen repercusión en las actividades cotidianas, la autopercepción y el autocuidado.Objetivo. Identificar el tiempo transcurrido para la recuperación de la calidad de vida previa al evento COVID-19 en pacientes que requirieron hospitalización.Metodología. Diseño de cohorte antes-después en pacientes que requirieron hospitalización por cuadro de COVID-19. Se consideró expuesto a los pacientes después del evento COVID-19 y no expuesto al mismo paciente antes del evento. La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud se midió con el instrumento SF-36. El plan de análisis incluyó ecuación de regresión lineal y proyección del número de días transcurridos después de la hospitalización para recuperar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud previa al evento COVID-19 a partir del egreso hospitalario. Resultados. La dimensión que tarda más días en recuperar la calidad de vida que poseía previa al evento COVID-19 es rol físico con 225 días, y la dimensión que menos días tarda en recuperar la calidad de vida que poseía previa el evento es vitalidad y función social, ambas con 44 días.Conclusión. El tiempo para la recuperación de la calidad de vida previo a la hospitalización es diferente en cada una de las dimensiones de la calidad de vida (AU)

Introduction. Severe COVID-19 with a pneumonic focus is managed in a hospital. In this population, the physical and functional sequelae after hospital discharge are more frequent, involve quality of life, and have an impact on daily activities, self-perception, and self-care.Aim. Identify the time elapsed for the recovery of the quality of life prior to the COVID-19 event in patients who required hospitalization.Methodology. Before-after cohort design in patients who required hospitalization due to COVID-19. Patients were considered exposed after the COVID-19 event and not exposed to the same patient before the event. Health-related quality of life was measured with the SF-36 instrument. The analysis plan included a linear regression equation and projection of the number of days elapsed after hospitalization to recover the health-related quality of life prior to the COVID-19 event from hospital discharge.Results. The dimension that takes the longest days to recover the quality of life that it had prior to the COVID-19 event is physical role with 225 days, and the dimension that takes the fewest days to recover the quality of life that it had prior to the event is vitality and social function, both with 44 days.Conclusion. The time for recovery of quality of life prior to hospitalization is different in each of the dimensions of quality of life (AU)
