Abstract
DURAN-BADILLO, Tirso et al. Depression, anxiety, cognitive function, and functional dependence in hospitalized older adults. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.61, pp.267-284. Epub Feb 01, 2021. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.422641.
Objective:
Determine the relationship between depression, anxiety, and cognitive function with dependency in older adults.
Materials and Method:
Descriptive and correlational cross-sectional study conducted on 98 hospitalized older adults. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Montreal Cognitive Evaluation Test, and the Barthel Index were applied.
Results:
Age, gender, depression, anxiety, and cognitive function explain 33% of functional dependency. The variables that influence dependence to carry out basic activities in daily life were gender (p = .000), depression (p = .002), and cognitive function (p =.002).
Conclusions:
In assessing the functionality of hospitalized older adults, gender, depression, and cognitive function are important to consider.
Keywords : Depression; anxiety; cognition; daily life activities; older adult.
