Resumo
Atualmente, o crescente aumento da expectativa de vida no mundo e em países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, busca uma intensa demanda por estudos e analises para uma maior definição de políticas publicas visando a melhora na qualidade de vida dos idosos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a associação da qualidade de vida com a capacidade funcional dos idosos da Estância Turística de Avaré, São Paulo. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com uma amostra de 365 idosos da Estância Turística de Avaré, São Paulo, cadastrados nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde. A capacidade funcional foi avaliada por meio da Escala de Atividades da Vida Diária (AVDs) desenvolvida por Katz (1963) e escala de Atividades Instrumentais da Vida Diária (AIVDs) desenvolvida por Lawnton e Brody (1969). A qualidade de vida foi avaliada através da Escala de Qualidade de Vida de Flanagan (1982). Os dados da Escala de Qualidade de Flanagan foram analisados de acordo com uma análise fatorial com rotação varimax e obtenção dos fatores mais relevantes para a qualidade de vida. As associações entre qualidade de vida e a capacidade funcional foram feitas por meio do teste qui-quadrado. As análises foram feitas utilizando o programa SAS for Windows, v.9.2. adotando-se um nível de significância de 5% ou o p-valor correspondente. A prevalência de incapacidade funcional para as atividades da vida diária foi de 8,4% (n=31) e de atividades instrumentais da vida diária de 10,6% (n=40). Na analise das AVDs e AIVDs foram encontradas associações positivas com a qualidade de vida. A incapacidade funcional dos idosos interferiu diretamente na qualidade de vida e nos seus aspectos como: reunir com os amigos; autoconhecimento (reconhecer suas potencialidades e limitações); saúde; trabalho; participar da comunidade; fazer amigos; e aprendizagem em cursos e palestras. Os resultados encontrados...
Nowadays, the increasing life expectancy in the world and in developing countries such as Brazil, seeks an intense demand for studies and analyzes for greater definition of public policies aimed at improving the quality of life for older people. This study aimed to evaluate the association between quality of life and the functional capacity of the older people in the tourist city of Avare, São Paulo. It was carried out a cross-sectional study with a sample of 365 older people from the tourist city of Avare, São Paulo, enrolled in the Basic Health Units. Functional capacity was assessed using the Scale of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) developed by Katz (1963) and Scale of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) and developed by Lawnton and Brody (1969). Quality of life was assessed using the Quality of Life Scale of Flanagan (1982). Data from the Scale Flanagan were analyzed according to a factor analysis with varimax rotation and getting the most relevant factors for the quality of life. Associations between quality of life and functional capacity were made using the chi-square test. The analyzes were performed using SAS for Windows, v.9.2. adopting a significance level of 5% or the corresponding p-value. The prevalence of disability in activities of daily living was 8.4% (n = 31) and instrumental activities of daily living was 10.6% (n = 40). Analyzing ADL and IADL positive association with quality of life were found. Functional disability in older people interfered directly in quality of life and its aspects as: meet with friends, self-awareness (recognizing its potential and limitations), health, work, participate in the community, making friends, and learning in courses and lectures. Conclusion: The results showed that the disability interferes in some aspects of the with quality of life of the older people as in ADL as in IADL
