The Relationship

Depression is one of the most common mental health problems in the elderly, but there is little consensus about the best way to assess depression in the aged. The relationship between the CES-D and the ZUNG self-report depression scales was investigated in seventy-eight elderly people with osteoarthritis (mean age 71). The correlation between the scales was r = .69, with the CES-D classifying 15 percent of the participants as depressed, as compared to 6 percent by the ZUNG. Psychological symptoms had the strongest relationship with overall depression scores on both scales. No sex differences were found on psychological items on either scale, but females reported more somatic symptoms on the ZUNG. People over age seventy-four reported more psychological symptoms than their younger counterparts.

Resumo: Este estudo objetiva identificar a importância do questionário Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly — Screening Version (HHIE-S) como indicador da necessidade de avaliação audiológica em um grupo de idosos, relacionando as perdas auditivas às possíveis alterações vocais. Fizeram parte deste estudo cinco indivíduos idosos do gênero feminino, na faixa etária de 57 a 75 anos. Primeiramente, foi aplicado o questionário HHIE-S seguido da avaliação audiológica básica e da avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz. Nos resultados, os cinco indivíduos idosos apresentaram alteração em um ou mais aspectos vocais. As alterações das características vocais puderam ser correlacionadas às perdas auditivas em três dos cinco casos. Salienta-se a importância da avaliação vocal e da utilização de escalas de auto-avaliação, como o questionário HHIE-S, como indicadores da identificação precoce da deficiência auditiva. Palavras-chave: Perda Auditiva. Presbiacusia. Saúde do Idoso. Qualidade Vocal. Abstract: This study aimed at identifying the importance of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly —Screening Version (HHIE-S) questionnaire as an indicator of the need for an audiological evaluation in a group of elderly, and verifying the relation between hearing loss and possible vocal change in 5 elderly females with ages ranging from 57 to 75 years.The HHIE-S questionnaire was applied, followed by a basic audiological evaluation and auditory-perceptive vocal evaluation. In the results, 5 elderly individuals presented changes in one or more vocal aspects. The changes in vocal characteristics may be correlated to hearing loss in 3 of the 5 cases. The importance of vocal evaluation and use of self-evaluation scales as the HHIE-S questionnaire as indicators for early identification of hearing impairment is highlighted. Keywords: Hearing Loss.

The value of measuring changes in symptoms in a single patient has been discussed by a number of authors. (1, 3, 4.) The “self-controlled trial” (1) or the “multiple cross-over method”, i.e. the measurement of responses to repeated and systematic changes in treatment, appears to have advantages over the simple cross-over trial, but the method would be extremely time-consuming in group research with psychiatric patients if the ratings had to be carried out by research workers. The use of valid self-rating scales would make the multiple cross-over method feasible in drug trials with groups of psychiatric patients.
