Abstract
La valoración geriátrica integral es una herramienta multidisciplinaria que nos permite evaluar el estado de salud de los adultos mayores aplicando escalas que nos bridan datos sobre el nivel de deterioro del envejecimiento en la esfera clínica, funcional, cognitiva, social y afectiva del adulto mayor. Describir el estado de salud de las personas adultas mayores a través de la medición de las cuatro esferas de valoración geriátrica integral en la comunidad de Yuracruz, durante el periodo octubre 2023- febrero 2024. El presente estudio posee un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo y de campo, con un diseño no experimental - transversal, aplicando las escalas de valoración clínica, escala de funcionalidad de incapacidad de la Cruz Roja y SARCO-GS, la escala de valoración cognitiva KIKA-Cog,, escala de valoración social sociofamiliar Gijón y la escala de valoración afectiva Yesavage mediante el empleo de la entrevista como técnica de recolección de datos y el manejo de la estadística descriptiva como la técnica de análisis e interpretación de datos. Los resultados obtenidos mediante el uso de las escalas de valoración a los 39 adultos mayores AM nos presentan que el rango de edad predominante es entre los 75 – 84 años con el 55%(12) hombres y el 59% (10) mujeres, se reflejan en los resultados que más del 80% de los AM presentan una incapacidad y un 95% presenta sarcopenia, un 92% presenta indicios de posible demencia, el 72% indica un riesgo social y 28% tienen un problema social y se puede evidenciar que existe un porcentaje homogéneo con el 44% de depresión leve y 44% depresión establecida en la población adulta mayor de la comunidad rural de Yuracruz.
Comprehensive geriatric assessment is a multidisciplinary tool that allows us to evaluate the health status of older adults by applying scales that provide us with data on the level of deterioration of aging in the clinical, functional, cognitive, social and affective sphere of the older adult. Describe the health status of older adults through the measurement of the four spheres of comprehensive geriatric assessment in the community of Yuracruz, during the period October 2023-February 2024. The present study has a quantitative descriptive and field approach, with a non-experimental - cross-sectional design, applying the clinical assessment scales, the Red Cross disability functionality scale and SARCO-GS, the cognitive assessment scale. KIKA-Cog, Gijón socio-familial social assessment scale and the Yesavage affective assessment scale through the use of the interview as a data collection technique and the management of descriptive statistics as the data analysis and interpretation technique. The results obtained through the use of the assessment scales of the 39 older adults AM show us that the predominant age range is between 75 - 84 years with 55% (12) men and 59% (10) women , are reflected in the results that more than 80% of MAs present a disability and 95% present sarcopenia, 92% present signs of possible dementia, 72% indicate a social risk and 28% have a social problem and can be show that there is a homogeneous percentage with 44% mild depression and 44% established depression in the older adult population of the rural community of Yuracruz.
