Abstract
Contexto: a evidência sugere que a estimulação cognitiva (EC) tem um efeito positivo na cognição, na sintomatologia depressiva (SD) e na autonomia dos idosos. Objectivo: analisar a eficácia da EC na cognição, na SD, e nas actividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVD’s) de idosos em contexto comunitário. Metodologia: estudo experimental, com pré e pós-teste, numa amostra de 23 idosos, sendo 30,43% homens e 69,57% mulheres, com idade média 77,66 anos, DP 7,73. Foram utilizadas as versões portuguesas da Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Geriatric Depression Scale-15 e Lawton Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. O grupo experimental foi sujeito a tratamento com 14 sessões de EC. Resultados: os idosos submetidos a EC melhoraram o estado cognitivo, explicando a intervenção de 17,86% da variação. A evidência não permite concluir sobre o efeito da EC na SD e nas AIVD’s embora, respetivamente, 20% e 17% mais idosos tenham melhorado a sua condição clínica comparativamente aos não submetidos ao programa. Conclusões: a estimulação cognitiva melhorou a condição cognitiva dos idosos, pelo que se aconselha a sua implementação como componente do cuidado a idosos em contexto comunitário. Sugerem-se novos estudos, com amostras de maior dimensão, PEC de manutenção e follow-up, que reforcem e clarifiquem estes resultados.<br>Contexto: la evidencia sugiere que la estimulación cognitiva (EC) tiene un efecto positivo sobre la cognición, sobre la sintomatología depresiva (SD) y sobre la autonomía de los adultos mayores. Objetivo: analizar la eficacia de la EC en la cognición, en la SD y en las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria (AIVD) de los adultos mayores en el contexto comunitario. Metodología: estudio experimental con pre y postest, en una muestra de 23 adultos mayores, con 30,43% hombres y 69,57% mujeres; con una edad media de 77,66 años, DE 7,73 años. Fueron utilizadas versiones portuguesas de las escalas Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Geriatric Depression Scale-15 y Lawton Brody Scale for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. El grupo experimental fue sometido a 14 sesiones de tratamiento con EC. Resultados: los adultos mayores sometidos a la EC mejoraron su estado cognitivo, lo que explica una intervención de 17.86% de variación. Aunque la evidencia no es concluyente sobre el efecto de la EC en la SD y en las AIVD, más el 20% y 17% respectivamente, de los adultos mayores sometidos al programa mejoraron su condición clínica en comparación con los no sometidos. Conclusiones: la EC mejoró la condición cognitiva de los adultos mayores, por lo que se aconseja su aplicación como componente de la atención a los adultos mayores en el contexto comunitario. Se sugieren nuevos estudios con muestras de mayor dimensión, con programa de mantenimiento y seguimiento para fortalecer y aclarar estos resultados.<br>Context: evidence suggests that cognitive stimulation (CS) has a positive effect on cognition, depressive symptomatology (DS), and autonomy in elderly people. Objectives: to analyze the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation on cognition, DS, and autonomy in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) of the senior community. Methodology: experimental study with pre- and post-test, with a sample of 23 elders, 30.43% men and 69.57% women, mean age of 77.66, SD 7.73 years. We used the Portuguese versions of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 and the Lawton Brody Scale for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. The experimental group received 14 treatment sessions with CS. Results: elders undergoing CS improved their cognitive state and the intervention explained the variation of 17.86%. Although the evidence is not conclusive about the effect of CS in DS and IADL, 20% and 17%, respectively, more of the elders improved their clinical condition compared to those who were not treated. Conclusions: the cognitive stimulation improved senior´s cognitive condition therefore we recommend its implementation as a component of care for the elderly in a community context. Further studies ought to include larger samples as well as maintenance program and follow-up in order to strengthen and clarify these results.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
