Resumo
Segundo a OMS, o mundo está envelhecendo rapidamente. Há perspectiva de aumento da população idosa no Brasil para cerca de 30 milhões em meados de 2020. Enquanto a população mundial envelhece, surge um novo desafio que é envelhecer com qualidade de vida, QV, a qual abrange muitos significados, refletindo conhecimentos, experiências e valores dos indivíduos e da coletividade. Diante da escassez de dados na literatura, buscamos avaliar a QV de uma comunidade com características distintas da população em geral; trata-se de um grupo de religiosas idosas pertencentes ao Instituto das Apóstolas do Sagrado Coração de Jesus, IASCJ, Congregação de São Paulo. Esta entidade foi fundada em 1894, na Itália, por Madre Clélia Merloni e desde 1900 atua no Brasil. Foi utilizado um formulário adaptado da Escala de Qualidade de Vida de Flanagan, EQVF. Suprimiram-se as questões sobre filhos e relacionamento sexual, visto as religiosas, por opção, não os possuírem. Religiosas com sessenta anos ou mais de idade, não institucionalizadas e residentes em Bauru, Marília, Araçatuba, Birigui e Jaú foram selecionadas. Vinte e oito religiosas idosas foram entrevistadas e mostraram uma média de idade de 72,2 anos, nível educacional com predomínio “superior completo”, 82,1%, e predomínio da raça branca, 85,7%. Em relação ao seu grau de satisfação com diferentes aspectos de sua vida, 82,1% sentem-se satisfeitas ou muito satisfeitas com a saúde e 96,4% estão muito satisfeitas quanto à situação financeira; 92,8% das religiosas sentem-se úteis em seu ambiente social e procuram cultivar amigos. Quanto às suas atividades de lazer, os índices observados foram um pouco menores, sendo satisfeitas ou muito satisfeitas em 67,8%, porém, apesar disto e de uma forma geral, as religiosas idosas avaliadas mostraram-se bastante satisfeitas com sua QV.

While the world population aging, appears a new challenge, get old with quality of life, QOL, which covers many meanings, reflecting knowledge, experience and values of individuals and collectivity. In the face of the scarcity of data in the literature, we evaluate the QOL of a community with distinct characteristics of the population in general; it is a group of elderly nuns that belongs to the “Instituto das Apóstolas do Sagrado Coração de Jesus”, IASCJ, “Congregação de São Paulo”. This was founded in 1894, by Madre Clélia Merloni and since 1900 operates in Brazil. Was used a questionnaire adapted of the Scale of Flanagan’s Quality of Life Assessment. The questions about suns and sexual relation were eliminated, because nuns, by their religious choice, does not possess. Nuns sixty ore more years of age, not institutionalized and inhabitant at Bauru, Marília, Araçatuba, Birigui and Jaú were selected.
