Abstract
Se objetivó verificar la depresión en ancianos institucionalizados. Se empleó el método transversal, utilizando la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica de Yesavage en cinco hogares geriátricos del Distrito Federal, para verificar sintomatología depresiva. Fueron estudiados en total 299 individuos, 181 no atendieron los criterios de inclusión y 16 recusaron su participación. De los 102 ancianos participantes del estudio, 49,0% presentaba depresión: 36,3% de leve a moderada, 12,7% depresión severa. Se verificaron asociaciones entre síntomas depresivos y aumento etario, sexo femenino, limitación/dependencia e insatisfacción con la institución. Existió inclusive asociación significativa entre depresión e insomnio, taquicardia, parestesia, mareos y sudoración excesiva. La depresión es altamente prevalente entre ancianos institucionalizados, es más común entre las mujeres, y se relaciona a una serie de signos y síntomas que pueden cooperar a un diagnóstico precoz, facilitándose una atención de enfermería más efectiva.
The objective of this study was to verify depression among institutionalized elderly individuals. The cross-section method and Yesavage's Geriatric Depression Scale were utilized in five geriatric long-term care facilities located in the Federal District to verify symptoms of depression. A total of 299 individuals were studied, 181 of whom did not meet the inclusion criteria. Sixteen individuals declined to participate. Considering the 102 individuals found suitable to participate in the study, 49.0% presented symptoms of depression; 36.3% suffered from mild to moderate depression and 12.7% showed symptoms of severe depression. Associations were found between depression symptoms and increased age, female gender, physical limitations/dependence and dissatisfaction with the institution. A significant association was also found between depression and insomnia, tachycardia, paresthesias, dizziness and excessive sweating. Depression is highly prevalent among institutionalized elderly individuals, more common among women, and correlated with a series of signs and symptoms that may help in making an early diagnosis, thus offering support to providing more effective nursing care.
