Resumo
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a qualidade de vida de dependentes de álcool segundo gênero, gravidade da dependência no momento da entrevista e tempo de abstinência. Entrevistou-se 86 pacientes em acompanhamento no Programa de Tratamento do Alcoolismo do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu. Foram coletadas informações referentes aos dados sócio-demográficos e econômicos, à data de caso novo na Psiquiatria, à idade em que o indivíduo começou a beber e ao seu estado atual de abstinência, e aplicados dois instrumentos: o SADD, para determinação da gravidade da dependência e o SF-36 para avaliação da qualidade de vida. A amostra final compôs-se de 70 homens e 16 mulheres, com média de idade de 45 anos, 55,8% casados/amasiados, 70,9% cursaram até o ensino fundamental, 72,1% estavam inativos. As mulheres iniciaram no alcoolismo mais tardiamente que os homens. O tempo médio de seguimento no programa foi 24 meses e no momento da entrevista, 77,9% estavam abstinentes, com 83,7% apresentando dependência leve pelo SADD. Os resultados mostraram que: 1) A qualidade vida dos dependentes de álcool, homens e mulheres, está prejudicada principalmente no que se refere ao aspecto físico e à saúde mental 2) As mulheres têm qualidade de vida inferior aos homens em todas as dimensões do SF-36, com diferenças estatisticamente significativas em dor, vitalidade e saúde mental. 3) Os dependentes moderados e/ou graves apresentaram qualidade vida inferior aos dependentes leves em aspecto físico, estado geral de saúde, vitalidade, aspecto social e saúde mental. 4) Os não abstinentes apresentaram qualidade de vida inferior aos abstinentes em aspecto físico, aspecto social e saúde mental.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of alcohol dependents according to gender, dependence severity and abstinence. Eighty six patients enrolled in the Alcoholism Treatment Program of the Clinicas Hospital of the Botucatu Medical School were interviewed. The interviews consisted of sociodemographic, economics, admission data in Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic, age of alcohol use start and abstinence state questions. The instruments SADD, for measuring the severity of alcohol dependence, and SF- 36, for measuring quality of life, were also administered. The final sample consisted of 70 men and 16 women, average age was 45 years old, 55,8% married, 70,9% had studied up to end the 9th grade, 72,1% was inactive. Women began the ingestion of alcohol later than men. Average period of followup in the program was 24 months, at the time of the interview 77,9% were abstinent and 83,7% presented low dependence according SADD. The results showed that: 1) the QoL of alcohol dependents, men and women, is damaged particularly with respect to physical functioning and mental health. 2) Women presented lower QoL than men in all SF-36 dimensions, with significative difference in pain, vitality and mental health. 3) Moderately and/or severely dependents presented lower QoL than mildly dependents in physical functioning, general health perceptions, vitality, social functioning and mental health. 4) Not abstinents presented lower QoL than abstinents in physical functioning, social functioning and mental health.
