SUMMARY:

Within the context of mental health, depression is among the most frequent disorders in the world population, affecting the individual in a way that interferes with their well-being and causing them physical and mental suffering. Listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the main public health problems, depression affects more than 121 million people worldwide, representing the fourth largest global cause of disease in 2000 and projected to become the second largest global disease in the coming years. Given its importance within the context of public health and its worsening due to aging, depression directly interferes with the Quality of Life (QL), described by the WHO as the perception of the individual in relation to their position in life, whether in the cultural context or values in which it lives, in view of its goals and expectations. This research aimed to propose multidimensional interventions in QoL and depressive symptoms, assess their impact among Brazilian elderly and compare their aspects with Portuguese elderly people assisted in Primary Health Care. The research was carried out in two stages, represented by the two articles present in this work, being Article 1 with a longitudinal cut, which tested the impact of multidimensional interventions applied to elderly Brazilians, users of Primary Health Care (PHC). Article 2 was an observational study, carried out with a cross-sectional view, which, in turn, compared the association and risk of depression on aspects of QoL among elderly PHC users residing in Brazil and Portugal. The instruments used in data collection were the Socioeconomic and Health Data Questionnaire, Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) which assessed the levels of QOL, Geriatric Depression Scale, version with 30 questions that measured symptoms depressive symptoms (Article 1), Beck Inventory with comprehensive assessment of depressive symptoms (Article 2), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), which served as a mental and psychological aptitude test for participation in the study, since the participant himself was who provided the information. For the treatment and tabulation of data in tables, the Microsoft® Excel 2016 program (Microsoft Corporation, Washington, WA, USA) and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Prior ethical approval was obtained after an evaluation in Brazil by the Research Ethics Committee of the University Hospital Onofre Lopes, CEP / HUOL, with opinion No. 562.318 and CAAE: 21996313.7.0000.5537, and in Portugal by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Évora (opinion no. 14011) and by the Ethics Committee for Scientific Research in the Areas of Health and Human Well-Being of the University of Évora (no. 17.006 / 2018). In article 1, the changes observed after the administration of multidimensional interventions converged to a favorable outcome in the intervention group compared to the control group. There was a reduction in depressive symptoms, as well as an improvement in the domains of Mental Health, General Health and Physical Health and Quality of Life in the GI participants. Considering that these elderly people are affected by many limiting factors, such as low income and low education, this is a promising result. Article 2 highlighted the association, correlation and risk between depression and aspects related to the emotional, physical, functional, and mental health components. The data were more expressive in Portugal compared to Brazil, despite having also presented similar results, but with less relevance. In this sense, we accept our study hypothesis.
