Dependencia a las actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria en adultos mayores frágiles de Ferreñafe, 2025

Abstract

Hay una mayor incidencia de fragilidad en los adultos mayores, debido al envejecimiento poblacional y el aumento de la esperanza de vida, esto disminuye la funcionalidad física. Por lo que el adulto mayor enfrenta dificultades para llevar a cabo las tareas cotidianas esenciales que antes realizaba de manera independiente necesitando la presencia de un cuidador externo. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio es determinar la dependencia a las actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida diaria en adultos mayores frágiles de Ferreñafe, 2025. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal y descriptivo. La población estuvo conformada por 1,400 adultos mayores, de los cuales se seleccionó una muestra de 279 participantes mediante muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó dos instrumentos, el Índice de Barthel y el cuestionario “Vida diaria del Anciano”. Los datos fueron procesados mediante un análisis estadístico descriptivo con el Excel 2016, luego se presentó en tablas de frecuencias y porcentaje. Se tuvo en cuenta los principios éticos durante todo el desarrollo de la investigación. Como resultados se obtuvo que el 44,44 % tiene dependencia moderada para las actividades básicas, destacando que un 25,09 % tiene dificultad para poder subir y bajar escaleras. Para las actividades instrumentales el 49,10 % tuvo dependencia leve, evidenciándose que el 18,28 % necesita acompañante para desplazarse fuera de casa. En conclusión, los adultos mayores frágiles requieren menor apoyo externo para las actividades básicas, pero mayor en las instrumentales.

There is a higher incidence of frailty in older adults due to population aging and increased life expectancy, which reduces physical functionality. As a result, older adults face difficulties in performing essential daily tasks that they previously performed independently, requiring the presence of an external caregiver. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the dependence on basic and instrumental activities of daily living in frail older adults in Ferreñafe, 2025. The research had a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive approach. The population consisted of 1,400 older adults, from which a sample of 279 participants was selected using non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Two instruments were used for data collection: the Barthel Index and the “Daily Life of the Elderly” questionnaire. The data were processed using descriptive statistical analysis with Excel 2016 and then presented in frequency and percentage tables. Ethical principles were taken into account throughout the research process. The results showed that 44.44% have moderate dependence for basic activities, with 25.09% having difficulty climbing and descending stairs, while 21.51% have difficulty with instrumental activities, with 18.28% needing assistance to leave their homes. In conclusion, frail older adults have a mild to moderate degree of functional dependence for both activities.
