Resumen
Introducción: El aumento de la esperanza de vida implica que las personas continúen realizando actividades cotidianas cada vez por más tiempo, entre otras, conducir. Conducir es una actividad compleja que involucra numerosas funciones cognitivas que pueden afectarse por el proceso de envejecimiento. La capacidad de los sujetos de percibir estos cambios puede favorecer la implementación de conductas que compensen el déficit. Objetivo: Analizar el desempeno˜ cognitivo y su relación con la autopercepción y el uso de conductas compensatorias desarrolladas por conductores activos. Método: Se evaluaron 94 conductores activos de entre 64 y 90 anos, ˜ de la provincia de San Juan, Argentina. Se administró el Cuestionario de Quejas Cognitivas, una batería neuropsicológica para medir funciones cognitivas y un cuestionario de conductas compensatorias en el manejo vehicular. La muestra fue dividida en 2 grupos según la edad para su análisis. Resultados: Se observaron diferencias significativas entre grupos en pruebas que evalúan funciones cognitivas en detrimento del grupo de los mayores. En el grupo de mayor edad se observó una menor correspondencia entre el Cuestionario de Quejas Cognitivas y el rendimiento en pruebas de funciones cognitivas. En cuanto a las estrategias compensatorias, el grupo más anoso ˜ implementa más estrategias en comparación con los de menor edad. No se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la percepción de cambios y el uso de estrategias compensatorias. Conclusión: El grupo de mayor edad presenta mayor compromiso cognitivo y menor autopercepción de los cambios que los más jóvenes. La autopercepción de los cambios cognitivos parece no estar ligada necesariamente a la incorporación de estrategias compensatorias.
Introduction: Due to the increase in life expectancy, everyday tasks, such as vehicular driving, will remain throughout time as an important part of the activities that adults carry out. This complex activity, which involves several cognitive functions, may be affected by the aging process. The person’s capacity of perception of these changes might benefit the use of certain adaptive strategies so as to make up for the deficiency. Objective: To analyze the cognitive performance and its relation to auto perception of their cognitive performance and the use of adaptive strategies developed by the active older drivers. Method: Ninety four active drivers between 64 and 90 years old, from San Juan, Argentina, have been under an evaluation. The Cognitive Complaints Questionnaire was provided, a neuropsychological battery used to measure cognitive functions and a questionnaire on compensatory behavior while vehicular driving. The sample was divided into two groups according to the age for its analysis. Results: Significant differences between groups have been observed in tests that claim detrimental cognitive functions in the oldest. Concerning the older group, less correspondence to Cognitive Complaints Questionnaire and to cognitive function tests have been observed. Regarding adaptive strategies, the elder group applies more strategies, in comparison to the young. No statistically significant relationship was observed between the perception of changes and the use of compensatory strategies. Conclusion: The older group shows more cognitive impairment and less auto perception of change, in comparison to the younger group. Self-perception of cognitive changes is not necessarily associated with the incorporation of compensatory strategies.
