ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivou-se verificar a associação entre os escores de qualidade de vida e autoestima em idosos na comunidade. Inquérito domiciliar, transversal, observacional e analítico, conduzido com 1.691 idosos residentes em área urbana de um município no interior de Minas Gerais. Foram utilizados os instrumentos World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref (Whoqol-Bref), World Health Organization Quality of Life Old (Whoqol-Old) e a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Procedeu-se à análise estatística descritiva e modelo de regressão linear (p < 0,05). Constatou-se que o domínio relações sociais (71,19) e a faceta morte e morrer (74,30) apresentaram os maiores escores médios entre os idosos; enquanto os menores foram observados no domínio meio ambiente (60,39) e na faceta participação social (63,06). Os escores de autoestima apresentaram média de 9,36 ± 4,09. Os menores escores de qualidade de vida em todos os domínios do Whoqol-Bref e das facetas do Whoqol-Old (exceto morte e morrer) associaram-se com os piores níveis de autoestima (p < 0,001). Os resultados encontrados fornecem informações para a elaboração de ações em saúde a partir da compreensão dos aspectos que influenciam na QV de idosos devido à redução da autoestima.


Abstract This study sought to investigate the association between the scores for quality of life (QoL) and self-esteem among the elderly in an urban community. A cross-sectional, quantitative and analytical household survey was conducted with 1,691 elderly persons resident in an urban area in a county in Minas Gerais state. The World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), the World Health Organization Quality of Life OLD (WHOQOL-OLD) questionnaires and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used in this study. A descriptive statistical analysis and a linear regression model (p < 0.05) were conducted. The results revealed that the social relationships domain (71.19) and the topic of death and dying (74.30) had the highest mean scores among the elderly; while the lowest mean scores were the environment domain (60.39) and the topic of social participation (63.06). The self-esteem scores showed an average of 9.36 ± 4.09. Associations were evident for the lower scores of quality of life in all the WHOQOL-BREF domains and WHOQOL-OLD aspects (except death and dying) with lower levels of self-esteem (p <0.001). The results provide data that contribute to a better understanding of the aspects that influence the QoL of the elderly due to reduced self-esteem, thus providing information for the development of health strategies.
