Keywords:
benzodiazepines , insomnia, sleep disorders, elderlyAbstract
Elderly patients usually suffer from various chronic-degenerative pathologies and therefore resort to the consumption of multiple drugs, including benzodiazepines. Currently there is an overconsumption of these due to the presence of insomnia. The objective is to determine the association between the presence of insomnia and the consumption of benzodiazepines in elderly patients in primary care. Observational, cross-sectional, non-experimental analytical study in patients aged 60 years or older affiliated with the Family Medicine Unit No.77 (UMF77), who agree to participate and sign informed consent. Data were obtained through a standardized survey, as well as the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire and the abbreviated Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale to determine the variables insomnia and depression, respectively. Descriptive statistics, trend measurements and determination of associations using Fischer's exact test and X2. The population distributed in age from 60 to 95 years, average of 70.11 + 7.43. The consumption of benzodiazepines was found in almost 20% of the population and this was found to be associated with the presence of insomnia (p<0.001). We conclude that the association found between insomnia and the consumption of benzodiazepines was significant. It is necessary to create programs for early preventin.
