| dc.description | This case study focuses on an 84-year-old older adult resident of Buena Fe canton, Los Ríos province, Ecuador, to explore the psychosocial factors related to his cognitive decline. Population aging and its associated challenges, such as cognitive impairment, are a growing problem worldwide and in Ecuador. The Buena Fe canton presents particularities that may influence the health and well-being of its older residents. The study aims to analyze the psychosocial factors affecting the elderly in question and their cognitive impairment. A qualitative methodology was used including semi-structured interviews, clinical histories and cognitive tests. The study findings highlight the importance of strengthening family relationships and providing emotional and logistical support to the elderly, as the lack of a strong support network and family tensions can negatively affect their well-being. Difficulties were observed in the memory, orientation, attention and thinking of the older adult, indicating signs of cognitive impairment. The structural diagnosis of Major Neurocognitive Disorder (Dementia) reinforces the severity of the situation. In addition, low self-esteem and negative emotions were found to contribute significantly to cognitive impairment, and lack of social interaction and a strong support network increased their vulnerability and isolation. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | Este estudio de caso se centra en un adulto mayor de 84 años residente en el cantón Buena Fe, provincia de Los Ríos, Ecuador, para explorar los factores psicosociales relacionados con su deterioro cognitivo. El envejecimiento de la población y sus desafíos asociados, como el deterioro cognitivo, son un problema creciente en todo el mundo y en Ecuador. El cantón Buena Fe presenta particularidades que pueden influir en la salud y el bienestar de sus residentes mayores. El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los factores psicosociales que afectan al adulto mayor en cuestión y su deterioro cognitivo. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa que incluyó entrevistas semiestructuradas, historias clínicas y pruebas cognitivas. Las conclusiones del estudio destacan la importancia de fortalecer las relaciones familiares y proporcionar apoyo emocional y logístico a las personas mayores, ya que la falta de una red de apoyo sólida y las tensiones familiares pueden afectar negativamente su bienestar. Se observaron dificultades en la memoria, la orientación, la atención y el pensamiento del adulto mayor, indicando signos de deterioro cognitivo. El diagnóstico estructural de Trastorno Neurocognitivo Mayor (Demencia) refuerza la gravedad de la situación. Además, se encontró que la baja autoestima y las emociones negativas contribuyeron significativamente al deterioro cognitivo, y la falta de interacción social y una red de apoyo sólida aumentaron su vulnerabilidad y aislamiento. | es_ES |
