Abstract
The aim was to investigate the effects of Mindfulness in the elderly and to verify the relationship between GDS and socioeconomic variables. This is a clinical trial, with a sample of 34 elderly people evaluated pre- and post-intervention selected in two different scenarios. Elderly people aged 60 and over, of both sexes, residing in the city of Dourados MS, participated in this study. For evaluation were used: sociodemographic questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the proposed intervention was the Mindfulness-Basead Health Promotion protocol. Descriptive analysis was performed using frequency calculations and measures of central tendency and dispersion. A t-test was performed for samples to compare the EDG instrument before and after the intervention. No significant differences were found in depressive symptom scores after the Mindfulness intervention. The correlation test showed that the higher the level of education, the lower the scores of depressive symptoms in the elderly. The study did not allow verifying the effects of Mindfulness on depression since the sample contained few elderly people with signs of depression, however, the intervention allowed to underline the possibility of practicing Mindfulness to stimulate a healthy lifestyle in the elderly.
