dc.descriptionCognitive functioning is a mental faculty of the human being, through which the individual can relate to the surrounding environment, by means of sensory organs such as hearing, touch, vision and taste. It is important to highlight that cognitive functions are constituted or divided by 2 types of functions, among which are the basic functions (attention, perception and memory) and complex functions (abstract thoughts, executive activities, among others). On the other hand, dependence refers to the need, help or support that a person needs when he/she is in a vulnerable situation, i.e. because he/she has lost or lacks physical, mental or intellectual autonomy. There are different types of dependence, among which are: physical dependence, emotional dependence, economic dependence, psychological dependence and independence. All these types of dependence generate a negative impact on the physical, psychological and social development of older adults, establishing that old age is a stage in which the individual is vulnerable to contracting diseases. Thus, from the above described, the interest was born to determine the influence of the cognitive functions of old age in the dependence of older adults, for this in the first instance the basic and higher cognitive functions of older adults were evaluated by applying the mini mental test, on the other hand, the degree of dependence of older adults was also evaluated using the Barthel scale, the emotional dependence questionnaire CDE and Brody's scale. These measurement instruments for data collection were applied to 50 adults who attend the project Abriendo Camino. This study was carried out by means of a descriptive research, in which it was concluded that cognitive functions have an influence on the dependence of older adults.es_ES

dc.description.abstractEl funcionamiento cognitivo es una facultad mental del ser humano, mediante el cual el individuo puede relacionarse con el entorno que lo rodea, por medio de los órganos sensoriales como la audición, el tacto, visión y gusto. Es importante resalta que las funciones cognitivas se encuentran constituido o dividido por 2 tipos de funciones, entre los cuales están, las funciones básicas (atención percepción y memoria) y funciones complejas (pensamientos abstractos, actividades ejecutivas, entre otras). Por otra parte, la dependencia hace referencia a la necesidad, ayuda o apoyo que necesita una persona cuando se encuentra en una situación vulnerable, es decir por haber perdido o por la falta de autonomía física, mental o intelectual. Existen diferentes tipos de dependencia, entre las cuales están: dependencia física, dependencia emocional, dependencia económica, dependencia psicológica e Independencia, todos estos tipos de dependencia generan una afectación negativa en el desarrollo físico, psicológico y social de los adultos mayores, estableciendo que la vejez, es una etapa en la cual el individuo es vulnerable a contraer enfermedades. Es así como a partir de lo descrito con anterioridad nace el interés por determinar la influencia de las funciones cognitivas de la vejez en la dependencia de los adultos mayores, para ello en primera instancia se evaluó las funciones cognitivas básicas y superiores del adulto mayor mediante la aplicación del mini mental test, por otro lado, también se evaluó el grado de dependencia del adulto mayor mediante la escala de Barthel, el cuestionario de dependencia emocional CDE y la escala de Brody. Estos instrumentos de medición para la recolección de datos se aplicaron a 50 personas adultas que asisten al proyecto abriendo camino. Este estudio se lo realizó por medio de una investigación descriptiva, en el que se concluyó que las funciones cognitivas tienen una influencia en la dependencia de las personas adultas mayores.es_ES
