Resumo
Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar as características das queixas subjetivas de memória através da comparação de resultados obtidos entre doentes com diagnóstico de DCL e indivíduos saudáveis. Utilizamos uma amostra de 75 sujeitos (N=75) divididos em dois grupos (grupo clínico n=38 e grupo saudável n=37). Inicialmente fez-se uso da entrevista semiestruturada com o objetivo de recolha de dados sociodemográficos e posteriormente os instrumentos: Escala de Queixas Subjetivas de Memória, Questionário de Memória Prospetiva e Retrospetiva, Escala de Depressão Geriátrica e Escala de Satisfação com a Vida. Os resultados encontrados apontam diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos para as queixas subjetivas de memória, falhas de memória prospetiva e retrospetiva e presença de sintomatologia depressiva, obtendo-se valores superiores no grupo clínico. Também observamos que idade elevada, baixa escolaridade e sintomatologia depressiva se encontram associadas às queixas de memória avaliadas por estas medidas.
The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of subjective memory complaints through the comparison between DLC patients and healthy individuals. We used a sample of 75 subjects composed in two groups (clinical group n=37; healthy group n=37). Initially it was made a semi-structured interview with the objective of sociodemographic data withdrawal and subsequently the instruments: Subjective Memory Complaints Scale, Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale. The results show statistical differences between the two groups for subjective memory complaints, prospective and retrospective memory fails and presence of depressive symptomatology, having high values of the clinical group. We also observed the relation between high age, lower school level and depressive symptomatology associated with the memory complaints evaluated by these measures. We finish suggesting the continuous study of these themes in subsequent studies
