A gerontologia contribui para aumentar a qualidade de vida e a satisfação dos idosos, assim o tema desta dissertação assenta no interesse da avaliação da qualidade e da satisfação de vida com a existência de chefia por um gerontólogo na instituição e o tempo de permanência dos idosos na instituição. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a satisfação e a qualidade de vida dos idosos institucionalizados comparando a formação académica do gestor sendo gerontólogo ou não, e com o tempo de internamento dos idosos nas estruturas residenciais. Para o campo de atuação recorreu-se à aplicação do estudo em 10 instituições no distrito de Bragança sendo 5 com gestor gerontólogo e 5 sem gestor gerontólogo, permitindo constituir uma amostra final de 150 utentes. Neste sentido, apenas foram incluídos utentes com 65 anos ou mais e idosos cognitivamente capazes de responder aos questionários, sendo o processo de amostragem utilizado o não probabilístico. O estudo realizado tem por base uma análise quantitativa e analítica em que os dados foram recolhidos através do instrumento de avaliação da qualidade de vida WHOQOL BREF e para a avaliação do grau de satisfação dos idosos recorreu-se à Escala de Avaliação dos Clientes de Estruturas Residenciais para Idosos (EASCERI). Dos resultados obtidos observou-se que a maioria dos inquiridos são do sexo feminino (53,3%), a predominância da faixa etária é de ≥ 85 anos. Quanto ao estado civil dos inquiridos maioritariamente são viúvos (58,7%) e a maior percentagem de habilitações literárias é detentor do 1.º ciclo (38%). Nas instituições onde existia um gestor Gerontólogo, os inquiridos estavam mais satisfeitos em todos os domínios da qualidade de vida apresentando valores estatisticamente significativos (p-value<0,001). No tempo de institucionalização (>3 anos ou ≤3 anos) a qualidade de vida é idêntica (p-value>0,05) com a exceção do domínio físico do instrumento de avaliação (p-value=0,006) que obteve resultados expressivamente melhores e estatisticamente significativos, em idosos com menos tempo de permanência nas estruturas residenciais. No que concerne, à satisfação com a vida, os inquiridos em instituições com gestor Gerontólogo, encontram-se mais satisfeitos. Quanto ao tempo de institucionalização (inferior a três anos ou de pelo menos três anos), só nos fatores ambientais e estruturais (p-value=0,007) e atividades ocupacionais (p-value=0,033) é que os resultados obtidos se apresentaram como melhores para os idosos com menos tempo de institucionalização. Concluiu-se que os idosos em instituições com gestor gerontólogo encontram-se mais satisfeitos em todos os domínios da qualidade de vida e da satisfação com a vida do que os idosos em instituições sem gestor gerontólogo, relativamente ao tempo de permanência dos idosos nas estruturas residenciais concluiu-se quanto a qualidade de vida que não existem diferenças nas medias dos valores das dimensões da qualidade de vida por tempo de permanência dos idosos nas estruturas residências. Ainda, relativamente ao grau de satisfação de vida dos idosos por tempo de permanência concluiu-se que há diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas dimensões da escala EASCERI para as dimensões ‘Fatores Ambientais e estruturais’ e ‘Atividades Ocupacionais’.
Gerontology contributes to increasing the quality of life and satisfaction of the elderly, so the theme of this dissertation is the interest of evaluating satisfaction and quality with the existence of a director by a gerontologist at the institution. The present study aims to analyse the satisfaction and quality of life of institutionalized elderly compared to the academic background of the manager being a gerontologist or not, and the length of stay of the elderly in residential structures. For that the study it was applied to 10 institutions in the municipality of the Bragança, constituting a final sample of 150 users. In this regard, only users aged 65 or older and elderly people cognitively able to answer the questionnaires were included, using the non-probabilistic sampling process. The study was based on quantitative and analytical analysis, in which data were collected through the WHOQOL BREF quality of life assessment instrument. To assess the elderly satisfaction level, the Scale of Assessment of Customers of Residential Structures for the Elderly (EASCERI) was used. From the results obtained, it was observed that the majority of respondents are female (53.3%), the predominance of the age group is ≥ 85 years. As for the respondents' marital status, the majority are widowed (58.7%) and the highest percentage of educational qualifications holds the 1st cycle (38%). In institutions where a gerontologist manager existed, respondents were more satisfied in all areas of quality of life, presenting statistically significant values (p-value<0.001). At institutionalization time (> 3 years or ≤3 years), the quality of life is identical (p-value>0.05) except for the physical domain of the assessment instrument (p-value=0.006), which obtained significantly better results and statistically significant, in the elderly with less time spent in residential structures. Concerning life satisfaction, respondents in institutions with a gerontologist manager are more satisfied. As for the institutionalization time (less than three years or at least three years), only in environmental and structural factors (p-value=0.007) and occupational activities (p-value=0.033) do the results obtained show themselves as better for the elderly with less institutionalization time. It was concluded that the elderly in institutions with gerontologist manager are more satisfied in all areas of quality of life and satisfaction with life than the elderly in institutions without gerontologist manager. Regarding the length of stay of the elderly in residential structures, it was concluded that there are no differences in the dimensions of quality of life by length of stay of the elderly in residential structures. Additionally, in relation to the degree of life satisfaction of the elderly by length of stay it was concluded that there are statistically significant differences in the dimensions of the EASCERI scale, namely for the ‘Environmental and Structural Factors’ and ‘Occupational Activities’ dimensions.
