Abstract(s)
Este é um estudo descritivo que objetivou conhecer a dinâmica de família de idosos com 80 anos ou
mais, sob cuidados do familiar cuidador, em domicílio. Cuidadores e idosos, registrados na unidade
de saúde familiar da grande região do Porto, compuseram amostra de 107 unidades. Dados colhidos
entre 9/2009 e 3/2010, por instrumentos de dinâmica familiar, qualidade de vida e de estilo de
vida, resultaram em: aumento de cuidador masculino e de cônjuge idoso de seu par dependente
e inclusão substancial no elenco de familiares cuidadores: netas(os), sobrinhas(os) e irmãs(os).
Estilo de vida do cuidador revelou-se regular como também a qualidade de vida de ambos: cuidador
e idoso, apesar de a dinâmica de família se mostrar de boa funcionalidade. Limitações impedem
a generalização dos resultados, porém, fornece subsídios relevantes para o desenvolvimento do
programa de saúde familiar e de enfermagem de família.
Descriptive study aiming to understand the family dynamics of elderly people aged 80 years or older, receiving family care at home. Caregivers and elderly, registered at the family health unit of Greater Porto, comprised a sample of 107 pairs. Data were collected between 09/2009 and 03/2010. The following instruments were applied: family APGAR, quality of life and lifestyle scale. The results that stand out are: increase in male partners serving as caregivers for dependent partners; substantial inclusion in the list of family caregivers: grandchildren, nieces, nephews, siblings. The caregiver lifestyle was considered regular, as well as the caregiver and elderly’s quality of life, although the family dynamics showed to work well. Limitations prevent further generalizations, but offer relevant support for the development of the family health and family nursing program.
