Resumo(s)
This is a demographic transition scenario with implications in all
areas of social life: it is unacceptable to face aging without reflecting
on the problems around opportunities for older people, including
satisfaction with social support. Social support is particularly important
to facilitate an independent and fulfilling life in the community
for the elderly. Objectives: To assess the satisfaction of elderly people
with social support (individuals aged over 65 years) living in the district
of Bragança, by applying a sociodemographic questionnaire and
the Satisfaction Scale with Social Support (ESSS) of Ribeiro (2011) [1]. Starting from the elderly population living in Bragança district, we
developed an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study with
a quantitative approach, with a sample of 517 subjects, mostly females
(54.9 %; n = 284); aged between 65 and 74 years old (45.3 %;
n = 234); married or living in consensual union (61.9 %; n = 320); residents
in rural areas (69.8 %; n = 361); with sons and daughters
(89.0 %; n = 460); and illiterate (50.7 %; n = 262). The sample under study has average social support, which allows us
to infer that the elderly is, in general, satisfied with the social support
which they have, and the support received from friends is that which
gives them more satisfaction, expressing less satisfaction with family
support. It is observed that most of the variables are, in the case of
the elderly, determinants of their satisfaction with social support.
