ABSTRACT

Introduction: anxiety and depression are frequent alterations difficult to diagnose on elders. For differentiation and explaining Bifactor Model has been proposed by Clark & Watson (1991) proving its use on other age- groups and countries, but without evidence of researches in Cuba. Objective: the aim of the work is to identify the relationship between positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) on elders with or within mix or anxiety depressive symptoms.
Methods: It is a correlative, transversal and descriptive study done on two thousand forty-nine elders (sixty years old or more) with or within anxiety or depressive symptoms ;that were studied with Anxiety and Depression Scale of Goldberg(ADSG), Inventory of Positive and Negative Affective (PNA)and a questionnaire for the Social demographic and Health variables. Ethical principles and descriptive statistical were taken into consideration, as well as Invariable ANOVA and de T test Student for the analysis of the information.
Results: Significant differences among the elders with or within PA and NA were found. The persons without disorders presented a high level of PA and a minor level of NA. The depressed elders presented significant PA and NA low levels according to the ones that suffered from anxiety or mix symptoms.
Conclusions: Relationship between Positive affective (PA) and Negative affective (NA) were identified on elders with or within mix or anxiety depressive symptoms with particularities for themselves. Validation of the instruments used is recommended for its value on the clinical practice on Cuban elders.
