- Abstract
Objective: To test the relationship between the quality of family relationships and the prevalence of depressive symptoms in the elderly, in times of the covid-19 pandemic. Method: An exploratorydescriptive study, of a quantitative nature with a cross-section, carried out in a Center for Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds to the Elderly, in a city in the interior of Maranhão, carried out between August and October 2021. Data collection took place with application of: sociodemographic questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale and Family APGAR Scale, to, respectively, identify the profile, prevalence of depressive symptoms and the quality of the elderly's family relationships. For correlation between two numerical variables, Pearson's coefficient was used, adopting a reliability index of 95% and p 0.005. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee for Research with Human Beings under protocol number 4,002,145. Results: The sample included 52 elderly people, with a mean age of 71.6 years, with a prevalence of females (75%). The Geriatric Depression Scale identified (37%) elderly people with depressive symptoms. Regarding the family APGAR, (78.8%) of the elderly considered their families to have good functionality. There was a significant negative correlation of moderate degree (r= - 0.5686; p<0.0001) between the results obtained from the family APGAR and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Conclusion: Elderly people who have a good family functionality are less likely to have depression. Thus, further research is needed to correlate family functionality with the prevalence of depression.
