Avaliação da resiliência do cuidador de idosos com Alzheimer

This observational study of the descriptive case study type aimed to evaluate the resilience of caregivers of demented elderly people with Alzheimer. A questionnaire was used to trace the profile of the caregivers; bipolar protocol to evaluate the fatigue subjective state; the SRQ - Self Report Questionnaire to evaluate the stress; the Zarit inventory to evaluate overload and protocol to evaluate resilience of the six caregivers who participated in this study. Quantitative variables were described as a function of their average and variance. For associations, the Pearson Correlation and the Chi-Square test were used. The significance level adopted was p < 0.05. Results indicated that 83.3% of caregivers were females and 16.7% males, four of which (66.7%) sons and two (33.3%), consorts. It was observed that the health status of four caregivers got worse, going from a regular to a bad state in a five-year period. One (16.7%) caregiver dedicated 20 hours of his time for caring, and for the others (83.3%) the requirement was of 24 hours. Two did not show any possibility of developing disturbances, while four showed possibilities of developing mental disturbances. 66.7% of the caregivers did not show overload, while 33.3% were under intense overload. Even though some demonstrated fatigue and overload, the majority (83.3%) presented a high disposition for resilience. There was significant association between resilience and age (p< 0.05), and this expressed that the older the caregiver the greater the resilience.

A inclusão de alunos com deficiência nas aulas de Educação Física: vantagens e desvantagens

O estudo objetivou analisar as percepcoes de professores de Educacao Fisica (EF) da educacao basica da rede publica de ensino de uma cidade da regiao central do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul sobre as vantagens e desvantagens da inclusao de alunos com deficiencia nas aulas de EF. Caracterizamos a pesquisa como qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso. O instrumento de pesquisa foi uma entrevista com vinte professores, tendo as informacoes interpretadas pela analise de conteudo. Concluimos que, apesar do respaldo legal, o sistema educacional ate hoje, nao se estruturou para o oferecimento da educacao inclusiva, pois foram apontadas mais desvantagens do que vantagens para a inclusao de alunos com deficiencia nas aulas de EF, sendo que estas giram, primordialmente, na dimensao de cunho estrutural.

Malnutrition risk and hospitalization in elderly assisted in Primary Care

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the association of malnutrition risk and single items of the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®) with hospitalization in the last 12 months in the elderly assisted in primary care. A cross-sectional study was conducted with the evaluation of 1229 elderly persons assisted in Family Health Strategies in seven cities of South Brazil. Malnutrition risk was evaluated using the MNA®, and hospitalization was determined by one question of the Probability of Repeated Admission (PRA) instrument. Most of the elderly were women (61.7%), with a mean age of 71.7 ± 7.7 years. The malnutrition risk rate was 23.3% and hospitalization was 32.9%. The frequency of malnutrition and risk of malnutrition was two times greater among the elderly who were hospitalized (36.8 versus 18.6% - P < 0.001). There was a significant association between hospitalization and 11 (64.7%) of the 17 items on the MNA® evaluated (P < 0.05). Of these, seven items were independently associated with hospitalization by multivariate analysis. We observed an association of malnutrition risk and most of the single MNA® items as well, with hospitalization in the elderly assisted in primary care.
