Abstract

Scientific studies on cognitive patterns and strategies used in older people with cognitive impair-ment (CD) are scarce. Objective: The objective was to compare 2 groups of older people, with CD and without CD, the refocusing of plans, catastrophizing, self-blame, positive refocusing and positive rein-terpretation to observe differences and establish cognitive patterns adapted to the profile for the impro-vement in professional care. Method: For this, in this cross-sectional study with correlational design and probability sampling by not convenience, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were used in 196 people over 60 years old belonging to day centers and residences (M=75.95 SD= 10.08) Results: Statistically significant results have been obtained in re-focusing plans (p<.00); catastrophizing (p=.00); self-blame (p<.00); positive refocusing (p<.00); positive reinterpretation (p<.00). Conclusions: It is one of the few studies in this field that contributes to empha-size the need to study adaptative or maladaptative emotional variables for the life of the elderly with CD that do not exist in the scientific field, in addition, it shows different cognitive patterns and adaptative strategies used in CD and without DC. Their knowledge would help to personalize interventions based on the cognitive patterns present in this publication.
