Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo analisar se existem diferenças na autoestima, qualidade de vida e suporte familiar percebido entre os adultos mais velhos institucionalizados e os adultos mais velhos que frequentam o centro de dia. A amostra deste estudo incluiu 83 participantes, 60 do sexo feminino (72.3%) e 23 do sexo masculino (27.7%), com idades compreendidas entre os 54 e os 98 anos (M = 82.47, DP = 8.43); dos quais, 44 dos participantes (53%) estão institucionalizados no lar e 39 (47%) frequentam o centro de dia. Foram utilizados três instrumentos de recolha de dados: o Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), o World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF) e o Inventário de Perceção de Suporte Familiar (IPSF). Usou-se, ainda, um plano descritivo-correlacional, dado que o foco deste estudo tem como base explorar as relações entre as variáveis e descrevê-las. Os resultados permitiram encontrar relações significativas, positivas e moderadas entre a autoestima e a qualidade de vida. Encontraram-se também diferenças significativas entre a dimensão afetiva consciente do suporte familiar e o estado civil. Ao contrário do esperado, foram encontradas relações significativas, negativas e fracas entre o suporte familiar percebido e a qualidade de vida e foi revelado que um maior suporte familiar percebido está associado a uma pior qualidade de vida.
The main objective of the present study is to analyze whether there are differences in selfesteem, quality of life, and perceived family support between older adults who are institutionalized and those who attend a day center. The study sample included 83 participants, 60 of whom were female (72.3%) and 23 male (27.7%), with ages ranging from 54 to 98 years (M = 82.47, SD = 8.43); among them, 44 participants (53%) are institutionalized in a residential facility, and 39 (47%) attend a day center. Three data collection instruments were used: the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Perceived Family Support Inventory (IPSF). A descriptive-correlational design was also employed, as the focus of this study is to explore and describe the relationships between the variables. The results revealed significant, positive, and moderate relationships between self-esteem and quality of life. Significant differences were also found between the affective-conscious dimension of family support and marital status. Contrary to expectations, significant, negative, and weak relationships were found between perceived family support and quality of life, indicating that greater perceived family support is associated with a lower quality of life.
