Abstract(s)
Introdução: Atualmente, em resultado do envelhecimento populacional, a família não consegue
responder às necessidades dos seus membros e consequentemente recorre às instituições
de acolhimento. No entanto, a família deve promover um envelhecimento com qualidade de
vida. Este estudo pretendeu estudar a influência do funcionamento familiar na qualidade de
vida dos idosos numa instituição de acolhimento. Metodologia: Abordagem quantitativa, estudo
descrito, correlacional e transversal. A população foi de 39 idosos, sem défices cognitivos,
de uma instituição de acolhimento. Para avaliar a perceção da funcionalidade familiar de diferentes
elementos da família avaliou-se a perceção de 11 familiares de 11 idosos. Aplicadas as
escalas Family Assessment Device e World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref. Utilizou-se
o SPSS versão 17, usando-se a estatística descritiva. Resultados: Os idosos que percecionaram as
suas famílias como saudáveis num maior número de dimensões apresentaram níveis de qualidade
de vida superiores. Os idosos identificaram mais dimensões não saudáveis na família,
ao contrário dos elementos da família. Discussão: As famílias saudáveis parecem possuir competências
que proporcionam um envelhecimento com qualidade de vida. O envelhecimento
origina mudanças na família que não são vivenciadas da mesma forma por todos os membros
da família (Horta, Ferreira e Zhao 2010; Figueiredo et al. 2011). Conclusão: As novas políticas e
projetos devem promover famílias saudáveis, fomentando um envelhecimento com qualidade
de vida, promovendo ganhos em saúde.
Introduction: Currently, as a result of population aging, the family can’t meet the needs of its members and consequently uses host institutions. However, the family should promote aging with quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the influence of family functioning on quality of life of the elderly in a host institution. Methodology: A quantitative study, described, correlational and cross. The population was 39 seniors without cognitive deficits in a host institution. To study the functionality of different members contacted 11 families, each family member corresponded to an element of the family of 11 seniors. Applied Family Assessment Device scales and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref. We used SPSS version 17, using descriptive statistics. Results: The seniors who perceive their families as healthy a larger number of dimensions had higher levels of quality of life. The seniors identified more family unhealthy dimensions unlike members of the family. Discussion: Healthy families seem to possess skills that provide a quality of life with aging. Aging causes changes in the family who are not experienced in the same way by all family members (Horta, Ferreira e Zhao 2010; Figueiredo et al. 2011). Conclusion: The new policies and projects should promote healthy families by promoting aging with quality of life, promoting health gains.
