Abstract(s)
Introdução: Este trabalho insere-se no projeto de investigação “Estratégias de intervenção no
combate à solidão das pessoas idosas em ERPI: desafios atuais”, coordenado pelo CLISSIS e
tem como objetivo principal caracterizar a perceção dos Diretores Técnicos (DTs) de ERPIS na
região do Porto, relativamente aos fatores organizacionais e exteriores à organização que
possam ajudar a explicar a solidão nestes residentes.
Metodologia: Este estudo transversal incluiu uma sub-amostra de DTs de ERPI localizadas na
região do Porto. Estes foram contactados via email institucional, com a apresentação de estudo.
Ao aceitarem, preencheram um Inquérito por Questionário constituído pelas secções:
caracterização sociodemográfica dos DTs; caracterização da instituição; perceção dos DTs
quanto aos fatores organizacionais e externos à organização; áreas de intervenção a melhorar;
temas de formação a investir; caracterização dos utentes e colaboradores. Recorreu-se ao
programa estatístico SPSS para análise descritiva dos dados.
Resultados: A amostra final inclui 43 DTs (idade média=40 anos; 88,4% sexo feminino). O
fator organizacional considerado como sendo o mais relevante pelos DTs foi a existência de
problemas de saúde mental (47,8%). Em relação aos fatores externos, foi a falta de qualidade
das relações com a família (48%). A área de intervenção mais indicada foi: estabelecer mais
parcerias com o exterior (40%). Cuidados na demência (64%) foi o tema mais valorizado para
formação.
Discussão: Este estudo surge como um contributo para uma maior compreensão dos fatores
associados à solidão em ERPI na perspetiva dos DTs, podendo contribuir para a definição e
implementação de intervenções mais eficazes ao nível institucional.
Background: This work is part of a research project “Strategic interventions to combat loneliness among elderly people in Nursing Home (NH): current challenges, coordinated by CLISSIS, and its main objective is to characterize the perception of Technical Directors (DTs) in NH of Porto region, regarding organizational factors and outside factors that may help explain loneliness in institutionalized older people. Methods: This cross-sectional study included a sub-sample of TDs of NH located in the Porto region. These were contacted via institutional email, with the study presentation. Upon acceptance, they completed a Questionnaire Survey with the sections: sociodemographic characterization of the TDs; characterization of the institution; DTs' perception of organizational and external factors; areas of intervention to improve; training topics to invest in; characterization of users and employees. The SPSS statistical program was used for descriptive data analysis. Results: The final sample included 43 TDs (mean age=40 years; 88,4% female). The organizational factor considered to be most relevant by the DTs was the existence of mental health problems (47,8%). As for external factors, it was the lack of quality relationships with the family (48%). The most indicated area of intervention was establishing more partnerships with the outside world (40%). Dementia care (64%) was the most valued topic for training. Discussion: The study appears as a contribution to a greater understanding of the factors associated with loneliness in NH, from the perspective of TDs and could help define and implement more effective interventions at institutional level.
