El presente trabajo se realizó en la organización La casa de la Abuela Juana, de la ciudad de San Antonio Oeste, Río Negro donde se encuentran institucionalizados adultos mayores de más de sesenta y cinco años, surgiendo como interrogante qué diferencias se obtendrían si se compararan los adultos mayores en diferentes contextos de vida, por lo tanto tuvo como objetivo comparar la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores institucionalizados, con los adultos mayores no institucionalizados, para determinar el grado de influencia que tiene la salud y en qué forma es esta percibida por los adultos mayores en su bienestar y en su calidad de vida. El trabajo que se presenta forma parte de una investigación exploratoria, se comparan diferencias en cuanto a los componentes que hacen calidad de vida de los adultos mayores que residen en un hogar, con los componentes de los que están en su vivienda, atendiendo a sus dos variables significativas en cuanto al modo de considerar la salud, podríamos encontrarnos ante un factor con gran influencia directa sobre la calidad de vida, pero también determinante, en mayor o menor medida, sobre otras áreas que la componen como relaciones familiares, sociales, actividad y ocio, etc.

El envejecimiento exitoso es un tema en el que es posible encontrar abundante literatura, así como sobre los problemas de salud asociados con esta etapa de la vida; sin embargo, es más difícil encontrar textos actualizados sobre los aspectos psicosociales del cuidado de los ancianos enfermos y en situación de dependencia. A través de una revisión crítica de la literatura, rastreando sus orígenes históricos y terminando con las contribuciones más actualizadas, se detallan los efectos cognitivos y físicos derivados del envejecimiento, el estrés de los cuidadores y las necesidades familiares de los pacientes geriátricos, institucionalización, problemas familiares, demencia y cuidadores familiares. El libro gira en torno a tres ejes; el primero aborda los determinantes y las manifestaciones del envejecimiento que están asociadas a limitaciones de la autonomía y, por lo tanto, a la dependencia. Un segundo eje conceptual es la dependencia, funcionalidad y sus factores biopsicosociales determinantes. El último eje corresponde a los cuidadores familiares, el efecto de la sobrecarga y su calidad de vida. Este libro permite al lector obtener información clara y precisa sobre aspectos relacionados con el envejecimiento saludable, dependencia y responsabilidades en el cuidado de dichos pacientes, todo esto para generar una reflexión sobre la atención no solo del paciente geriátrico, sino de la familia, los programas de prevención y promoción en la salud en entidades públicas y privadas para cuidadores y familiares.

Worldwide economic constraints on health care systems have highlighted the importance of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based health policy. The resulting clinical trials and health services research studies require instruments to monitor the outcomes of care and the output of the health system. However, the over-abundance of competing measurement scales can make choosing a measure difficult at best. Measuring Health provides in-depth reviews of over 100 of the leading health measurement tools and serves as a guide for choosing among them.LNow in its third edition, this book provides a critical overview of the field of health measurement, with a technical introduction and discussion of the history and future directions for the field. This latest edition updates the information on each of the measures previously reviewed, and includes a complete new chapter on anxiety measurement to accompany the one on depression. It has also added new instruments to those previously reviewed in each of the chapters in the book.LChapters cover measurements of physical disability, social health, psychological well-being, anxiety, depression, mental status testing, pain, general health status and quality of life. Each chapter presents a tabular comparison of the quality of the instruments reviewed, followed by a detailed description of each method, covering its purpose and conceptual basis, its reliability and validity and, where possible, shows a copy of the actual scale. To ensure accuracy of the information, each review has been approved by the original author of each instrument or by an acknowledged expert.

This book offers an up-to-date review on the principles and practice of multidimensional assessment and management of the older individual, which represents the cornerstone of modern clinical practice in the elderly. The early chapters cover the main elements and scope of the comprehensive geriatric approach and explain the pathways of care from screening and case finding through to in-depth assessment and treatment planning. Subsequent chapters review the evidence of how best to apply the multidimensional assessment and management approach in defined healthcare settings and within specific clinical areas, such as cancer and surgery. Finally, the education and training challenges are reviewed and the prospects for future clinical service and research in this important field are examined. The book is very timely given the recent advances in application of this approach, which reflect the growing international realization that older people are “core business” in many clinical areas where the role of specialist geriatric medicine has hitherto been limited. Accordingly, the book will be relevant to a wide range of clinicians. The authorship comprises many of the best known and widely published experts in their respective fields.
