Cuidados en el síndrome postraumático por violencia de género: a propósito de un caso clínico / Care in post-traumatic syndrome due to gender violence: a case report

El presente artículo describe un caso clínico de una paciente atendida en un Punto de Atención Continuada por un trastorno de ansiedad generalizada, causado principalmente por el maltrato sufrido por parte de su expareja. Se realiza seguimiento de la usuaria en la consulta de Enfermería de familia, desarrollando las intervenciones enfermeras adecuadas para abordar una serie de necesidades priorizadas por Enfermería a través del método ÁREA y teniendo en cuenta la priorización de la propia usuaria (AU)

This article describes a clinical case of a patient attended at a continuous care point for a generalized anxiety disorder, principally due to abuse suffered from her ex-partner. The patient was followed up at family nursing clinic, and the appropriate nursing interventions were developed to cover a series of needs prioritized by nurses using the AREA method and taking into account the prioritization of the user herself (UA)

Autonómetro. Propuesta de una escala para valorar la autonomía del mayor / ‘Autonometer’. Proposal of a scale to assess independence in the elderly

Introducción. Las perspectivas demográficas pronostican un envejecimiento poblacional en todos los países desarrollados, y esto lleva consigo un incremento de la fragilidad en las personas mayores. Los profesionales de la gerontología necesitamos instrumentos para detectar la fragilidad de forma anticipada. Presentamos una prueba de valoración de la autonomía multidimensional compuesta por un cuestionario y un test. Material y método. Se ha diseñado una prueba de evaluación funcional cognitiva para mayores con un cuestionario de 40 preguntas (Autonómetro-Q) y un test de 26 tareas (Autonómetro-T) que se pueden utilizar conjuntamente o de forma independiente. Resultados. El Autonómetro-T obtuvo un α de Cronbach de 0,85 con 4 dimensiones y un coeficiente kappa del 0,40. El Autonómetro-Q es un cuestionario breve pentadimensional con un α de Cronbach del 0,94, un coeficiente kappa de 0,63 y valores de sensibilidad del 85% y especificidad del 87%, para valores predictivos de resultado positivo y negativo del 73 y del 94%, respectivamente, tomando como patrón de referencia el Autonómetro-T. Conclusiones. El autonómetro es un una herramienta útil para el cribado de fragilidad en personas mayores que mediante una prueba objetiva explora marcadores físicos relacionados con las actividades de la vida diaria (AU)

Introduction. The demographic forecast predicts an aging population in all developed countries, and this will lead to an increase of frailty in the elderly. Gerontology professionals need tools to detect frailty in advance. A test is presented for assessing multidimensional independence, consisting of a questionnaire and a test. Material and method. A test of cognitive functional assessment was designed for the elderly, consisting of a questionnaire of 40 questions (Autonometro-Q) and a test of 26 tasks (Autonometro-T) that can be used together or independently. Results. Autonometro-T test obtained a Cronbach α of 0.85 with four dimensions, and a Kappa coefficient of 0.40. Autonometro-Q is a five-dimensional short questionnaire with a Cronbach α of 0.94, a Kappa coefficient of 0.63 and has a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 87%, with positive and negative predictive values of 73% and 94%, respectively, using Autonometro-T as the reference standard. Conclusions. Autonometro is a useful tool for frailty screening in the elderly, which examines the physical markers related to daily living activities, using an objective test (AU)
