“…Moreover, physical exercise reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression, explained by increased release of hormones such as catecholamine, adrenocorticotropic (ACTH), vasopressin, endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and the activation of specific receptors and decreased blood viscosity, providing a calming and analgesic effect and obtaining a relaxing result after exertion (25) . These effects were found in a study in which the practice of physical activity by elderly patients was associated with the decrease in depressive symptoms (26) . Other authors emphasize the influence of depressive symptoms in self-care.…”

Objective:To analyze the self-care behaviors according to gender, the symptoms of depression and sense of coherence and compare the measurements of depression and sense of coherence according to gender. Method: A correlational, cross-sectional study that investigated 132 patients with decompensated heart failure (HF). Data were collected through interviews and consultation to medical records, and analyzed using the chi-square and the Student's t tests with significance level of 0.05. Participants were 75 men and 57 women, aged 63.2 years on average (SD = 13.8). Results: No differences in self-care behavior by gender were found, except for rest after physical activity (p = 0.017). Patients who practiced physical activity showed fewer symptoms of depression (p<0.001). There were no differences in sense of coherence according to self-care behavior and gender. Women had more symptoms of depression than men (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Special attention should be given to women with HF considering self-care and depressive symptoms.

It is also a public health priority and its prevalence increased over the last decade. Low cost strategies such as using electronic messages have been tested to promote adherence to selfcare behaviors in the long run without straining the health resources (2) . Achieving results of impact for patients and the health system is a major challenge for HF management.Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of HF, the disease morbidity and mortality remain high. In addition, HF patients have high rates of readmissions, with about 30% of patients readmitted in a year period (1,3) , and each hospitalization adding extra weight to worsening the survival curve (4) . The HF decompensation is detrimental for both the physical as the emotional performance of patients, and contributes to a reduction in life expectancy and worsening in quality of life (3) . In Brazil, there are about 6.5 million patients with HF. Approximately one third of these patients are hospitalized annually (1) . The factors related to readmission are the presence of other medical conditions, age (5)(6) , inadequate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), among others (7) . In 2011, there were 258,069 admissions and the mortality proportion was 9.34% (8) , with predominance of the male gender among hospitalizations due to HF decompensation (9) . Several factors can lead patients with HF to clinical decompensation, as the...

“…Deshpande and others (2014) found that the depression in elder people increases as they become more dependent to others in their daily activities (Deshpande, et al 2014:125-132). Similarly, studies by Lee et al (2014) and Choi et al (2015) found that physical activity during depression in elderly patients is good for the symptoms of depression (Lee, et al 2014:37-41;Choi, et al 2015:301-305). It is known that the depression is the most common thing affecting the mental health of elder people and it reduces the mental health, so the study of Vaezi and Fallah (2011) supports this conclusion by referring the negative correlation between the self-efficacy and the stress that impacts the mental health negatively (Vaezi and Fallah, 2011:1168-1174.…”

The aging is a universal process to be observed in all living things and causing regression in all functions. The individuals may experience various problems biological, psychological and social dimensions together with the aging.The research is planned to consider the relationships between the self-efficacy levels and the depression in individuals older than 65 years. The sample of the research was 374 old individuals who were selected with the simple random sampling from the elder people to be registered in FHCs. The researchers used the socio-demographic question form to be formed through the literature review, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Self-efficacy Sufficiency Scale (SESS) to collect the data.When the socio-demographical features are compared with their self-efficacy and depression average scores; the difference between the SESS and GDS average points were found meaningful for the age, level of education, income level, marital status, living with whom, health status, perception of personal health and use of free times statistically (p<0.05). The negative correlation was found for the total SESS and GDS points of elder people (-0.491, p=0.000). Also, a positive correlation between the age and GDS (0.187, p=0.00), on the other hand, there was a negative correlation to be found between the age and SESS (-0.264, p=0.000) in the research.As a result, important evident was found indicating that the depression increases as the age is getting older, the self-efficacy decreases, and the negative correlation between the depression and self-efficacy for elder people, in the research.
