To evaluate the restriction of participation in activities of daily living and cognitive processes in older adults, according to gender and age, before and after rehabilitation.
The study included 50 individuals, 23 females and 27 males. The elderly were divided into two groups: Group 1 to 24 individuals aged between 60 and 74 years (11 females and 13 males), Group 2 - 26 elderly aged above 75 years (12 of female and 14 male). The elderly were evaluated before one year after the adaptation of hearing aids through the HHIE test and MMSE. Bimonthly follow-ups were conducted a total of seven meetings, to ensure the effective use of the prosthesis. As for the statistical analysis were performed descriptive and statistical analysis.
There was a reduction of the restriction of participation in social and emotional scales HHIE post-intervention in both groups, individuals of both genders. The MMSE test results were better in the post-intervention, regardless of gender and age of the participant.
There is little perception of the restrictions on participation in activities of daily living after rehabilitation. Moreover, the elderly of different ages and both genders decreased cognitive constraints refer after hearing aid fitting.
根据性别和年龄，评估康复前后老年人在日常生活活动和认知过程中的参与受限情况。
该研究纳入了50名个体，其中23名女性和27名男性。老年人被分为两组：第1组为24名年龄在60至74岁之间的个体（11名女性和13名男性），第2组为26名75岁以上的老年人（12名女性和14名男性）。通过HHIE测试和MMSE对老年人在佩戴助听器适应一年前后进行评估。每两个月进行一次随访，共进行七次，以确保假体的有效使用。至于统计分析，则进行了描述性和统计分析。
两组中干预后HHIE社交和情感量表上的参与受限均有所减少，无论男女个体。无论参与者的性别和年龄，干预后MMSE测试结果均更好。
康复后对参与日常生活活动的限制感知较少。此外，不同年龄和性别的老年人在佩戴助听器后认知受限有所降低。
