Cl. Mg.This research project was carried out with the objective of identifying the relationship between the level of functional dependence and depression in older adults. It was a cross- sectional correlation study in 91 older adults. The Barthel Index for Functional Dependence and the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale for Depression were applied. Statistical analysis showed that there was an inversely proportional relationship between functional dependence and depression, i.e. the lower the level of dependence, the greater the presence of depression. Regarding functional dependence, 46.2% were moderately dependent and regarding the prevalence of depression, 36.3% were probably depressed and 34.1% were depressed. No statistically significant differences were found between men and women in functional dependence. Older adults with total dependence are more likely to present established depression.Item Conflicto interparental y su relación con la depresión en adolescentes(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2022-09-01) Paredes Torres, Lizbeth Gabriela; Vargas Espín, Alba del Pilar, Ps.
