(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-01-05) Bardón Matos, Ruth María; Vilcapoma Aire, Ruth; Arevalo Marcos, Rodolfo Amado
Material and Methods: The Systemic Review of international research articles is carried out, which have been obtained by searching the databases: PubMed, Elsevier, Scielo, and Science Direct, which have been chosen and analyzed using the GRADE System to locate the respective degree of evidence. The search for articles was carried out using the DECS and MESH descriptors for the search in Spanish and English respectively. Results: It is observed that when evaluating the articles, the result was that 20% (2/10) of the articles reviewed correspond to Belgium, 10% (1/10) of the articles reviewed correspond to Italy, the 10% (1/10) corresponds to England, 10% (1/10) corresponds to the United States, 10% (1/10) corresponds to Australia, 10% (1/10) corresponds to the Philippines, 10% (1/10) corresponds to Ireland, 10% (1/10) corresponds to Portugal and 10% (1/10) corresponds to Spain. Conclusions: It is found that 7 of the 10 evidence studied conclude that there is little evidence, of very low to moderate quality, on the effectiveness of interventions to prevent and treat incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) in the geriatric population.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-09-20) Jirón Carmen, Jackeline Brigitte; Palomares Sava, Gisela Andrea; Millones Gómez, Segundo Germán
The objective of the research study was to determine the relationship between lifestyle and the degree of dependency of the elderly at the Ignacia Rodolfo Viuda de Canevaro Geronto Geriatric Center, Rímac – 2018. Regarding the Material and methods, it was a type of study quantitative, correlational, transversal. The sample was made up of 73 older adults. The instruments used were the Barthel index, which has a Crombach reliability of 0.862, which evaluates the degree of dependence, and the Lifestyle Scale in older adults with a Crombach Alpha reliability of 0.774. The data were processed through the SPSS Version 22 statistical program. The results indicated that 43.8% (32) of older adults are male and 56.2% (41) are female. In relation to the lifestyle variable of older adults, 67.1% have an unhealthy lifestyle and 32.9% have a healthy lifestyle. Regarding the degree of dependence, dependent older adults are 50.7% (37) represented in the following categories: moderately dependent in 41.1% (30), followed by mildly dependent in 5.5% (4) and severely dependent in 4.1% (3). On the other hand, the independents are 49.3% (36) with a value of 0.007 and a value of p = 0.935. The conclusions were that there is no correlation between lifestyle and the degree of dependency in older adults, therefore, the alternative hypothesis is rejected and the null hypothesis is accepted.
