title: Effects of Tai Chi Chuan on the elderly balance: a semi-experimental study

description: Aging impairs the functional capacity, possibly compromising the balance over the years. However, Tai Chi Chuan is a martial art that can provide balance improvements in elderly people. This study aimed to evaluate balance in elderly after three and six months of Tai Chi Chuan practicing. Participants were 27 individuals (62±4.4 years) who underwent Tai Chi Chuan training (one hour each) twice a week, for six months. Balance was assessed by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Romberg test, all evaluated before and after three and six months of practicing. MANOVA for repeated measures was used to compare times in TUG and BBS tests. The Cochrane Q test was used to compare moments and frequencies in the Romberg test (α=0.05). Results showed significant improvement in TUG performance (p≤0.01), BBS score (p≤0.01) and in the Romberg test (p≤0.01) after three and six months, compared with pre-training. These results suggest that Tai Chi Chuan practice can improve the balance in elderly people.

title: Factors related to dry mouth and low salivary flow rates in diabetic elderly: a systematic literature review

description: This study aimed to perform a systematic review of studies on factors related to xerostomia and/or hyposalivation in elderly patients with diabetes. SciELO, Science Direct, Scopus, and PubMed/Medline databases were searched for articles published from January 1992 to January 2013, concerned with factors associated with/related to xerostomia or hyposalivation in elderly patients with diabetes. Five articles were selected, including four transversal studies and one longitudinal study. Some of the studies found relationship between poor glycemic control and hyposalivation. Others found that xerostomia was more frequent in patients who worked in nondomestic environments and in women. However, there was considerable variation in the methods used by the researchers in the selected studies. We could not draw definitive conclusions based on our analysis of the selected studies. Longitudinal studies with appropriate sample sizes are needed to provide more complete information about the factors related to xerostomia and hyposalivation in elderly patients with diabetes.

title: Bibliometric profile the (inter)national scientific production of Geriatric Nursing

description: OBJECTIVE: Describe the bibliometric profile of the national and international scientific production of Geriatric Nursing. METHOD: Bibliometric study in BDENF, IBECS, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, and SciELO databases, using the descriptors: nursing, nursing care, elderly, elderly health and geriatrics. We selected 324 manuscripts, which were managed in the program JabRef Reference Manager 2.5, and the data was submitted to statistical analysis using the SPSS software. RESULTS: Publication from 2002 to 2011 is more extensive; most writers are masters or doctors; national references are more frequent; the selected articles are mostly quantitative, cross-sectional and deal with chronic diseases mainly; there is a lack of studies on subjects such as ethics, accessibility and social participation. Most of these studies were classified into evidence levels 4 and 5, and largely published in Qualis A1, A2 and B2 journals. CONCLUSION: The scientific nursing production on Geriatrics is growing, but there is a need for nurses to develop research considering the international literature, and interdisciplinary issues related to independence, social inclusion and health of the elderly.

title: The role of pain catastrophizing in prognosis and treatment of elderly with knee osteoarthritis: a critical literature review

description: Total knee arthroplasty performed on patients with severe osteoarthritis can lead to improvement in pain, physical function and quality of life. However, some individuals have negative results after this procedure. Pain catastrophizing has been identified as the most important psychological predictor for worse outcomes after surgery. This study aimed to review the literature about the influence of pain catastrophizing on prognosis and treatment of elderly subjects with knee osteoarthritis. Literature search was performed in Medline via PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, Science Direct, MedCarib, SciELO, LILACS and Google until June 2012. The search yielded a total of 2,227 articles, and after exclusion by title, abstract and full text, six studies were included. All items shown as a common feature of treatment as TKA surgery. Although the analysis of other variables such as depression, anxiety, pain severity and disability, catastrophizing was considered the only variable that significantly contributes to the results of the recovery after arthroplasty, contributing to longer hospital stays, more pain and deterioration in functionality. It is necessary to put basic measures into practice to identify individuals who are more catastrophizers and thus psychosocial interventions may be needed to promote a more positive recovery in individuals presenting a profile of psychosocial risk, reducing the length of hospitalization.

title: Self-rated health, social involvement and frailty in elderly outpatients

description: OBJECTIVES: To investigate relationships between global self-rated health and health referred to social comparison, biological frailty and social involvement indicated by advanced activities of daily living (AADL) in elderly outpatients. METHODS: 150 participants (60 years or more) without auditory, visual and cognitive deficits and satisfactory verbal communication were evaluated on their demographic characteristics, self-rated health, the criteria of frailty of Fried et al.22 and five AADL domains. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 96 women (m=77.2 years±6.7) and 54 men (m=76 years±8.5), stratified into three age groups, with prevalence of 70-79 years. Most rated their health as intermediate quality (50%) or good (31.8%). The most frequent AADL category was social. Men stood out for significantly higher performance in physical domain AADL; 56% of the elderly were classified as frail; 41.2% as pre-frail, especially for women and those over 70 years old. The frail elderly self-assessments showed worse health and health compared to others of the same age and worse AADL performance, especially for women and for those aged 80 years and more. CONCLUSIONS: The positive self-assessment of health plus the maintenance of positive social involvement are conditions to soften the impact of possible decrease in performance of complex activities of daily living in frail elderly outpatients.

title: Characterization of self-reported communication disorders in elderly women living in Manaus, state of Amazonas, Brazil

description: OBJECTIVES: Characterize self-reported communication disorders highlighting the association between variables of health conditions, socio-demographic factors, lifestyle, hearing loss and diseases in an elderly group. METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted from August to December 2012, with 159 women aged 60 or more, recruited at UnATI/UEA (University of the Third Age, University of the State of Amazonas), Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil. The subjects were interviewed and asked for self-reported communications disorders. Descriptive analysis was performed using central tendency and dispersion measures for continuous variables and frequency distributions for categorical variables and the prevalence of self-reported language disorders was estimated. To verify the presence of statistically significant differences it was used χ2, considering the significance level of 5% (p≤0.05). RESULTS: Communication disorders were reported by 8.18% of elderly women. The following deficits were reported: intelligibility (6.92%), oral comprehension (10.69%), lexical access (10.69%), and recent memory (38.36%). Reading and writing difficulties were informed by 5.66% and 6.92%, respectively. Among the illiterate group, 20% declared communication disorders, while the literate group, 8.44%. Statistical association was verified between communication disorders and self-reported hearing loss (p=0.03). Association was not detected between communication disorders and diseases. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the diversity of communication disorders within this population, further studies are needed to assess if changes occur at the aging process and how they work so that possibilities for prevention can be discussed.

title: Social skills and coping strategies: relationship with psychological well-being indicators among caregivers of elderly with high dependency

description: OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we verified the relationship between the use of social skills and coping strategies and measures of perceived psychological wellbeing among eldercare providers. METHOD: This is a descriptive, correlational study. Participants included 20 caregivers of elderly relatives with high dependency levels. During the interviews, the caregivers completed a Social Skills Inventory, a Coping Strategies Scale, a Caregiver Burden Interview and a Quality of Dyadic Relationship Scale. The relationship between the frequency of use of social skills and coping strategies and measures of perceived burden and quality of the dyadic relationship was examined using Spearman´s bivariate correlation procedure. RESULTS: The caregivers who reported using particular social skills and coping strategies more often reported fewer conflicts with the elderly care recipient and lower perceptions of caregiver burden. CONCLUSION: This study on eldercare providers adds to the literature that demonstrates a positive relationship between social skills and coping strategies and indicators of better psychological wellbeing. Studies are needed to evaluate whether interventions that promote the acquisition or improvement of these social skills and coping strategies can help to improve the psychological wellbeing of eldercare providers.
