The Impact

IntroductionElderly institutionalization involves an emotional adaptation and the research shows that the risk of depression increases.ObjectivesEvaluate the impact of a neuropsychological group rehabilitation program (NGRP) on depressive symptomatology of institutionalized elderly.AimsNGRP influences the decrease of depressive symptoms.MethodsElderly were assessed pre- and post-intervention with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and divided into a Rehabilitated Group (RG), a Waiting List Group (WLG), and a Neutral Task Group (NTG).ResultsIn this randomized study, before rehabilitation, 60 elderly people (RG; 80.31 ± 8.98 years of age; 74.2% women) had a mean GDS score of 13.33 (SD = 9.21). Five elderly included in the NTG (80.13 ± 10.84 years; 75.0% women) had a mean GDS score of 10.60 (SD = 4.72). Finally, 29 elderly in the WLG (81.32 ± 6.68 years; 69.0% women) had a mean GDS score of 14.93 (SD = 6.02). The groups were not different in GDS baseline scores (F = 0.74; P = 0.478). ANCOVA has shown significant differences (P < 0.05) in GDS scores between the three groups after 10 weeks. Sidak adjustment for multiple comparisons revealed that elderly in the WLG got worse scores in GDS, comparing with elderly in RG (P < 0.01), and with elderly in NTG (P < 0.05).ConclusionsElderly that are not involved in a task get worse in depressive symptomatology. Being involved in a structured group task means lower depressive symptoms and being in a NGRP means even greater results.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Jaw Defects

Cancer of the lower jaw is one of the most common causes of the development of total defects. There are many indices and indicators to assess the quality of life of patients with this pathology, but they do not fully describe the features of their postoperative rehabilitation. The question of developing an evaluation criterion for the introduction of a special device in patients with subtotal defects of the lower jaw remains open.Material and methods. In the period from 2010 to 2021, 100 patients with subtotal defects of the lower jaw, aged 30 to 65 years old, who are being treated in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the GBUZ SKKKB, were interviewed. All patients were divided into 2 groups of 50 people each. In the main rehabilitation was carried out using a special device to optimize the biomechanics of the lower jaw, in the control group, rehabilitation was carried out without one. The article presents the results of assessing the quality of life, which were carried out using a special questionnaire.Conclusions. This questionnaire makes it possible to assess the standard of living of patients using a special device at the stages of rehabilitation.
