Influencia de las actividades en la calidad de vida de los ancianos: revisión sistemática

Abstract

Resumen El objetivo es identificar qué actividades o intervenciones ocasionan cambios en la calidad de vida de los ancianos. Revisión sistemática de la literatura en las bases de datos: Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Scielo, Lilacs, BDenf y PubMed. Cómo término principal Medical Subject Heading Terms (Mesh) se seleccionó “quality of life” en combianción con los términos de mayor interés:“elderly, motor activity, education“. Búsqueda realizada entre Julio y Agosto de 2015 en la cual se incluyen trabajos originales publicados entre 2010 y 2015 en ingles, portugués y español. Además se siguió la estragégia Cocharne para la elaboración de la revisión. Se estudiaron 27 artículos que comparaban la calidad de vida del anciano antes y después de realizar una intervención de tipo física, educativa o mixta. Cómo principal resultado se obtiene que la salud general, fución social, rol físico y satisfacción con la vida són los dominios más influenciados, así como las actividades físicas en grupo són las más realizadas. Se concluye que al realizar actividades de cualquier índole, preferiblemente adaptadas, se producen cambios de forma notable en la calidad de vida del anciano a nivel general, observándose especialmente una mejoría en aspectos funcionales, mentales y sociales.

Influence of Social Support and Subjective Well-Being on the Perceived Overall Health of the Elderly

“…In addition, all the participants were contacted through associations for the elderly (e.g., retirement homes, associations for the elderly, or adult schools), so these people may perceive greater social support and have greater subjective well-being and perceived general health than people who do not go to these centers and who have not been able to access. Future studies in this field must incorporate other factors such as physical activity or educational programs and the examination of age-friendly environments to understand better the factors that contribute to elderly well-being and quality of life [32,33].…”

“…For example, it has been observed that marital status can positively influence the well-being of the elderly since the partner can be important support [31]. On the other hand, age influences the perception of well-being [32], and it has been associated with a worse perception of health, more significant physical deterioration, a greater probability of suffering from a chronic disease, and living alone [33].…”

“…In addition to the psychosocial factors explained so far, additional factors have been shown to impact the quality of life of the elderly. One of these main factors is physical activity, specifically group physical activity, which has been shown to benefit the elderly quality of life, general health, social function, and life satisfaction [32]. Educational interventions to promote health have also been recognized to favour well-being and quality of life in old age [33].…”

A Study on the Correlation Between Emotion and the Quality of Life of the Elderly Under the Artificial Intelligent Smile Recognition System: Protocol for a Descriptive Study

“…Quality of life refers to the individual's feeling experience of his own physical condition, psychological function, social ability and personal comprehensive condition in different culture and value system [1]. The physical and mental health status of the elderly, the relationship with the family and society are important factors affecting the senior citizens' quality of life population [2][3][4]. The elderly group is more likely to produce emotional loneliness than the young people, and the senior citizens' quality of life is often negatively affected by the gradual decline of various functions of the body and the loss of interpersonal relationships [5].…”
