- Abstract
Objective: to determine functional capacity and resilience in hospitalized older adults. Method: quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted with 59 older adults admitted to a university hospital. We used instruments to assess functional capacity, resilience, and sociodemographic data. Results: low resilience (28%), medium resilience (32%), and high resilience (39%) were found in the older adults. Among the most independent older adults, the highest frequency score for resilience was high, whereas the scores of the most dependent older adults ranged from medium to low. Conclusion: it is important to assess resilience and functional capacity to screen older adults, given that low resilience and functional capacity in the initial evaluation can allow the identification of older adults with less rehabilitation potential and, thus, favoring better planning of discharge by health professionals and early hospital discharge.
