The research Cognitive status in the elderly beneficiaries of the "Casa Somos"
center of the Roldós-Pisulí, is part of a larger research, in progress, carried out at the
Universidad Politécnica Salesiana: "Cognitive development, quality of life and
subjective perception Of the aging” (Heredia, 2015-2017).
The objective was to investigate the cognitive condition presented by older
adults of the mentioned group. The sample consisted of 30 elderly adults aged 60-89
years, mostly engaged in domestic activities, agriculture and livestock. There is a
predominance of people with incomplete primary education and in some cases
illiteracy. They do not receive retirement and many receive financial support from their
children. They live in an urban area located in a sector bordering the city, the product
of a struggle to obtain land.
It used a quantitative methodological perspective, through the psychometric
tests Mini-Mental and WAIS-IV it was possible to account for how the cognitive
functions are found and if there are indices of cognitive impairment in this group of
older adults.
The findings show the existence of mild cognitive impairment in about half of
the group; Deficits are observed in areas such as processing speed, verbal
comprehension, orientation, attention and motor skills. It is emphasized that the
intellective performance is below the average, evidencing that the crystallized
intelligence has not had a sufficient development, whereas the fluid intelligence shows
a better performance, although it does not reach optimum. |
