Abstract(s)
Com o envelhecimento, para além das transformações que lhe estão
subjacentes, as perdas funcionais tornam-se evidentes e a pessoa idosa vai
perdendo a mobilidade e a independência física, refletindo-se na capacidade
de realização das atividades da vida diária e na qualidade de vida. Neste
contexto a fisioterapia apresenta uma missão primordial, através da aplicação
de meios terapêuticos físicos na prevenção, promoção e manutenção da
qualidade de vida dos idosos. Assim, com o presente estudo, procuramos
analisar a modificação da qualidade de vida de um grupo de idosos
dependentes, depois de submetidos a tratamentos de fisioterapia.
Visando compreender em que medida a implementação de um plano de
tratamento de fisioterapia interfere na qualidade de vida do idoso dependente,
desenvolvemos um estudo de caráter quasi-experimental, com uma abordagem
quantitativa. Obteve-se uma amostra não probabilística acidental de 21
indivíduos, dependentes nas atividades de vida diária que se encontravam a
realizar tratamento de fisioterapia na Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Bragança,
durante os meses de novembro e dezembro de 2011, com idades
compreendidas entre os 65 e 87 anos. A maioria dos inquiridos é do sexo
masculino (52,4%), residentes em meio urbano (66,7%) e com baixo nível de
escolaridade (ensino básico).
Os dados analisados permitiram concluir que as variáveis sexo, estado
civil, habilitações literárias, tempo de tratamento e nível de dependência (no
primeiro momento de avaliação) não se encontram associadas ao conjunto dos
domínios da qualidade de vida. A idade, em ambos os momentos de avaliação,
está associada à qualidade de vida, nos domínios relações sociais e ambiente.
Ser rural ou urbano aparece associado à qualidade de vida física e psicológica,
em ambos os momentos de avaliação. Quanto à variável nível de dependência,
apenas está associada à qualidade de vida física.
With aging, in addition to changes that underlie the functional losses become evident and the elderly will lose mobility and physical independence, reflected in the ability to perform activities of daily living and quality of life. In this context physiotherapy has a primary mission, through the application of physical therapeutic means in the prevention, promotion and maintenance of quality of life for seniors. Thus, the present study, we analyzed the change in quality of life of a group of elderly dependents, after undergoing physiotherapy treatments. To understand to what extent the implementation of a plan of physical therapy interferes with the quality of life of the elderly dependent, developed a charater study of quasi-experimental, with a quantitative approach. This is a non-probability accidental sample of 21 individuals, dependent in activities of daily living that were to perform physical therapy in Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Bragança, during November and December 2011, aged 65 and 87 years. Most respondents are male (52.4%) living in urban areas (66.7%) and low level of education (elementary education). The analyzed data showed that gender, marital status, educational attainment, length of treatment and level of dependency (the first moment of evaluation) are not related to all domains of quality of life. The age both the evaluation moments, is associated with quality of life, social relationships and environment. Appears to be rural or urban quality of life associated with physical and psychological in both evaluation periods. Regarding the variable level of dependence, is only associated with physical quality of life.
