Abstract(s)
Com o aumento da esperança de vida e consequente envelhecimento,
surgem como consequência o aumento das limitações funcionais ao nível do autocuidado.
É preciso distinguir se ajudamos o idoso, ou se o prejudicamos ao substitui-lo nas suas
tarefas. Nesse campo, só com base na avaliação de cada caso é possível auxiliar e
reabilitar cada um deles de uma forma individualizada e adequada, consciencializandoos
para a prática do autocuidado.
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da promoção do autocuidado, pelos auxiliares de
ação direta, na alimentação e higiene dos idosos.
Metodologia: A metodologia aplicada foi quantitativa descritiva simples, de
abordagem exploratória e longitudinal. A população englobou um total de noventa e
quatro utentes, e a amostra obtida foi de quarenta indivíduos, nove do sexo masculino e
trinta e um do sexo feminino, utilizando critérios de exclusão por intermédio da utilização
da Escala de Barthel. As avaliações dos autocuidados foram realizadas através da
aplicação da classificação CIFI em dois momentos distintos, com intervalo de tempo de
três meses.
Resultados: Os resultados demonstram que houve uma evolução positiva com o
incentivo da prática do autocuidado por parte dos idosos, sendo que existiu uma
diminuição da média final da primeira avaliação da CIFI (78,3) para a segunda (76,3).
Mais especificamente, essa redução da média é mais acentuada nos parâmetros da
alimentação, onde são bastante significativos os resultados obtidos. Nos restantes
parâmetros, os resultados são mais dispersos.
Conclusão: Após a intervenção junto dos auxiliares de ação direta, foi possível
verificar que a amostra estudada evoluiu num sentido positivo, de uma forma visível, nas
atividades de vida diária Comer e Beber, e também, embora menos relevante, na atividade
de vida diária Lavar-se.
With the increase in life expectancy and consequent aging, the result is an increase in functional limitations in terms of self-care. One must distinguish whether we help the elderly, or whether we harm them by replacing them in their tasks. In this field, only on the basis of the evaluation of each case is it possible to help and rehabilitate each of them in an individualized and adequate way, making them more aware of the practice of self-care. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the promotion of self-care, by the direct acting auxiliaries, on the self feeding and personal hygiene of the elderly. Methodology: The applied methodology was simple descriptive quantitative, of exploratory and longitudinal approach. The population comprised a total of ninety-four users, and the sample obtained was forty individuals, nine males and thirty-one females, using exclusion criteria through the use of the Barthel Scale. Self-care evaluations were performed through the application of the CIFI classification in two distinct moments, with a time lapse of three months. Results: The results show that there was a positive evolution with the encouragement of the elderly self-care practice, and there was a decrease in the final average of the first evaluation of the CIFI (78.3) for the second (76.3). More specifically, this reduction of the average is more pronounced in the feeding parameters, where the results are quite significant. In the remaining parameters, the results are more dispersed. Conclusion: After the intervention with the direct-acting care givers, it was possible to verify that the studied sample evolved in a positive sense, in a visible way, in the activities of daily living Eating and Drinking, and also, although less relevant, in the activity of daily living Bathing.
