Objetivo:
analisar as características do idoso institucionalizado apontando correlações. Método:
trata-se de um estudo
quantitativo, descritivo, analítico, tipo exploratório, com idosos que vivem em instituições de longa permanência para
idosos. Empregaram-se questionários: sociodemográfico; Mini Mental; índice de Barthel; avaliação autorreferida de
fragilidade em idosos; Family Apgar e Perfil de Saúde de Nothingham. Resultados:
revela-se que as seis instituições
avaliadas eram de caráter filantrópico; foram estudados 135 idosos; a média de idade foi de 76,4 anos e o tempo médio
de institucionalização, de quatro anos; de acordo com os questionários, a maioria apresentou pontuação que sugere
declínio cognitivo e fragilidade, era independente para as atividades básicas de vida diária, possuía acentuada
disfunção familiar e apresentou perceptível perda da sensação da qualidade de vida; a maior parte dos entrevistados
mudou para a instituição sem vontade própria. Constatou-se que a preservação da cognição e o maior grau de instrução
se correlacionam a uma menor satisfação e percepção de qualidade de vida. Conclusão:
apresentaram-se, por este
estudo, alguns aspectos próprios do idoso institucionalizado e sua percepção de saúde.(AU)
