| Summary: | This study, descriptive and cross-sectional, aimed to analyze the family APGAR of elderly people with dependencies on the functionality of their respective family systems, through the medical records of a day center. The results show that the majority of the elderly are female and are between 70 and 89 years old. In calculating the family APGAR, 60% indicate family systems with good function (mild or absent dysfunction) and 40% with significant dysfunction (moderate and severe). It is recommended that during the application of the instrument, open-ended questions be asked to the dimension that scores the least to explore the weakness in the family function. |
