El bienestar subjetivo en mujeres adultas mayores con pérdida de capacidad funcional moderada

Abstract

The increase in life expectancy, mainly at the American level, has led to the growth of the study with the adult population, and the attempt to improve the living conditions of this ethereal group. In the present non-experimental cross-sectional descriptive study, with a global sample of 227 adult women attending the "CAAM", set the following objectives: To determine the level of subjective well-being in older adult women who present a loss of functional capacity, And to compare it with the level of well-being of older adult women who do not present loss of functional capacity. The following questionnaires were used: Perman Scale and Pfeffer Functional Activity Questionnaire, respectively. It was determined that 16.2% of the sample, present functional loss of capacity. In the results obtained from this quantitative study was determined a lower response average in the level of well-being perceived by the population that does not present loss of functional capacity , Therefore it was demonstrated that the variable functional capacity intervenes in the level of perceived well-being.
