A presente dissertação teve como objetivo avaliar a Qualidade de Vida (QdV) das Pessoas Idosas em Lares e Centros de Dia (CD´s), no Distrito de Vila Real.
Esta nossa pesquisa enquadra-se num tipo de estudo exploratório, descritivo e transversal, englobando uma população de 2588 Pessoas Idosas e posteriormente uma amostra de 508 idosos, que se deparam nas onze Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social, dos dez Concelhos, do Distrito de Vila Real:
128 idosos que frequentam CD´s e 380 Pessoas Idosas a residirem em Lares.
Os idosos avaliaram positivamente a QdV em todas as facetas do WHOQOL-OLD, instrumento de avaliação da QdV da Organização Mundial de Saúde; e os scores avaliativos por faceta, em ordem crescente, foram: “Autonomia” (10,00), “Morte e Morrer” (10,51), “Intimidade” (11,22), “Funcionamento Sensorial” (12,97),
“Família/Vida Familiar e Atividades Passadas” (21,70), “Participação Social e Atividades Presentes e Futuras” (22,12).
O valor médio do score dos idosos residentes em Lares (88,54 ± 16,76) foi similar ao dos idosos que requentam CD´s (88,47 ± 14,56); e que correspondem a uma boa QdV. O índice de QdV da
Pessoa Idosa não diferiu consoante a Resposta Social.
O índice de QdV das Pessoas Idosas residentes em Lares não diferiu em função do Género, Grupo Etário, Estado Civil, Prática Religiosa, Tempo de Frequência; mas diferiu em função do Nível
de Instrução, Existência de Família, Pessoa com quem o idoso partilha o quarto, Periodicidade com que recebem visitas de familiares, amigos, vizinhos e/ou voluntários; Sub-região onde está localizada a Instituição de Proveniência.
O índice de QdV da Pessoa Idosa a frequentar CD`s não diferiu em função do Género, Grupo Etário, Estado Civil, Nível de Instrução, Existência de Família, Prática Religiosa, Pessoa com quem vivem, Tempo de Frequência; mas diferiu consoante a Subregião onde está localizada a Instituição de Proveniência.
Comprovámos existir uma correlação positiva entre a dependência da Pessoa Idosa e o índice de QdV das Pessoas Idosas residentes em Lares e a frequentar CD´s; e uma relação de dependência entre o grau de dependência para as Atividades de Vida Diária (AVD) dos idosos e o estarem residentes em Lares ou a
frequentar CD´s. As Pessoas Idosas residentes em Lares apresentaram maior grau de dependência para as AVD quando comparadas com as Pessoas Idosas a frequentar CD´s.
Similarmente patenteámos não existir uma correlação entre a Idade da Pessoa Idosa e o índice de QdV das Pessoas Idosas residentes em Lares e a frequentar CD´s.
The present thesis aimed to evaluate the Quality of Life (QoL) of the Elderly in Homes and Day Centres (CD), in the Vila Real District. Our research relates to a type of exploratory, descriptive and transversal, embracing a population of 2588 Elderly and thereafter a sample of 508 elderly, facing the eleven Social Solidarity Private Institutions, of the ten Counties, of the Vila Real District: 128 seniors attending CDs and 380 elderly residing in nursing homes. The elderly positively evaluated the QoL in all facets of the WHOQOL-OLD, assessment instrument for evaluation of the QoL from the World Health Organization, and the scores for evaluative facet, in ascending order, were: "Autonomy" (10,00), "Death and Dying" (10,51), "Intimacy" (11,22), "Sensory Functioning" (12,97), "Family/Family Life and Past Activities" (21,70) and "Social Participation and Gifts and Future Activities" (22,12). The mean score of the elderly living in nursing homes (88.54 ± 16.76) was similar to the elderly who attend CD (88.47 ± 14.56); and that a good match QoL. The QoL index of the Elderly did not differ according to the Social Response. The QoL index of the Elderly residents in nursing homes did not differ according to Gender, Age Group, Marital Status, Religious Practice, Frequency Time; but differed according to the Instruction Level, Family Existence, person with whom the old sharing the room, with Frequency receiving visits from family, friends, neighbors and / or volunteers; Subregion where is located the Institution of Origin. The QoL index of the Elderly attending CD`s did not differ according to Gender, Age Group, Marital Status, Education Level, Family Existence of Religious Practice, person with whom they live, Frequency Time; but differed by Sub-region where is located the Institution of Origin. We have confirmed there is a positive correlation between the dependence of the Elderly and the QoL index of the Elderly residents in nursing homes and attending CD; and a dependency relationship between the degree of dependence on the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) of the elderly and are living in homes or attending CD. The Elderly residents in nursing homes showed a higher degree of dependence in ADL compared with Older Persons attending CD. Similarly patented there is no correlation between the age of the Elderly and the QoL index of the Elderly residents in nursing homes and attending CD.
