Quality of life and depression are relevant to the health of the elderly. Studies indicate a positive association between religiosity and health. This study investigated quality of life, depressive symptoms and their relationship with religiosity in the elderly. The study included 287 older people from a unit of the Family Health Strategy. Data were collected by means of the instruments: John Flanagans Quality of Life Scale, the short Geriatric Depression Scale and the Duke University Religion Index. The elderly showed high levels of religiosity, which, according to Pearsons product-moment correlation coefficient, was positively associated with quality of life (p<0.004), but not related to depressive symptoms. Results indicated a high degree of satisfaction among the elderly subjects with their quality of life, whereas 83% showed mild depression. In conclusion, religiosity is related to improvement in quality of life in the elderly. DESCRIPTORS: Nursing. Aging. Quality of life. Depression.

Os idosos apresentaram elevado indice de religiosidade, o que, de acordo com o Coeficiente de Correlacao de Pearson, se associou de forma positiva a qualidade de vida (p<0,004), mas nao teve relacao com os sintomas depressivos. Os resultados indicaram alto grau de satisfacao em relacao a qualidade de vida, embora 83% dos idosos tenham apresentado depressao leve. Conclui-se que a religiosidade esta relacionada a melhores indices de qualidade de vida em idosos.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the action of ear acupuncture on disability and tissue temperature in people with chronic pain in the spinal column. Method: a clinical trial with a sample of 110 people, randomized into three groups: Treatment, Placebo and Control. The assessment instruments were the Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and a thermographic camera, administered before the first treatment session, one week after and 15 days after (follow-up) the fifth session of ear acupuncture. In the analysis of the data, the Kruskal Wallis, Student-Newman Keuls and Wilcoxon tests were applied. Results: there was a significant reduction in disability in the Treatment and Placebo groups between the initial and final assessments (p<0.05) and between the initial assessments and follow-up (p<0.05). In the final assessment, the Treatment group presented improvement of disability when compared with the Placebo and Control groups (p<0.05). There was an increase in mean tissue temperature of the dorsal region between the initial and follow-up assessments in Treatment and Control groups (p<0.05), and between the final assessments and follow-up in the Treatment and Placebo groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: ear acupuncture was efficacious in reducing disability and increasing tissue temperature in people with chronic pain in the spinal column.

Aim: To carry out the cultural adaptation and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Questionnaire of Planned Behaviour in Diabetes - Foot Care. Methodology: This is a methodological research in which semantic analysis was carried out by a committee of judges, pre-test and subsequently test-retest, internal consistency analysis and exploratory factor analysis in a sample of 130 people with diabetes mellitus of a Family Health strategy. We have instituted 6.35% of semantic change in the original scale. Results: The questionnaire remained stable (p> 0.05 for most items, CHF = 0.675); good internal consistency (Cronbachs alpha:> 0.7 in the four areas), great relationship between the domains (KMO = 0.741) and stability in the factorial structure. Conclusion: The instrument proved to be suitable to be replicated in the Brazilian scenario.
