ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever e identificar fatores de natureza sociodemográfica e de comportamentos em saúde associados à percepção negativa de autocuidado em idosos residentes na comunidade de sete cidades brasileiras. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com dados do Estudo sobre Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros. Foram selecionadas características sociodemográficas, de comportamentos relacionados à saúde e de percepção de autocuidado em saúde. Para as análises, foram estimadas as distribuições percentuais e os respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%, com nível de significância de 5%. Foi utilizada a análise de regressão logística univariada e multivariada, com critério stepwise de seleção de variáveis. RESULTADOS: Da amostra total de 2.552 idosos, a maioria foi de mulheres (65,8%), com idade média de 72,3 ± 5,5 anos. A pior percepção de autocuidado foi associada à não utilização de serviço odontológico (OR = 1,48; p < 0,001), faixa de renda de 1,1 a 3 salários mínimos (OR = 1,46; p = 0,049), tabagismo (OR = 1,41; p = 0,030), sedentarismo (OR = 1,32; p = 0,003) e sexo masculino (OR = 1,24; p = 0,023). CONCLUSÃO: Embora não tenham sido encontradas altas frequências de comportamentos negativos em saúde, destaca-se a associação com fatores modificáveis, como o sedentarismo e o tabagismo. A ausência de busca por serviços odontológicos continua sendo aspecto desafiador entre idosos. Os resultados apontam para um potencial indicador subjetivo nos levantamentos clínicos e de pesquisa em saúde ao longo do envelhecimento.


OBJECTIVE: To describe and identify sociodemographic factors and health behaviors associated with a negative perception of self-care in community-resident older adults in seven Brazilian cities. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Frailty in Brazilian Older Adults (FIBRA) study. Sociodemographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and perception of self-care in health were assessed. For analysis, percentage distributions and respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated, at a significance level of 5%. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out, with stepwise variable selection. RESULTS: Of 2,552 older adults in the overall sample, most (65.8%) were women, with a mean age of 72.3 ± 5.5 years. The worst perception of self-care was associated with non-use of dental care services (OR = 1.48, p < 0.001), income range from 1.1 to 3 times the minimum wage (OR = 1.46, p = 0.049), smoking (OR = 1.41, p = 0.030), sedentary lifestyle (OR = 1.32, p = 0.003), and male gender (OR = 1.24, p = 0.023). CONCLUSION: Although no high frequencies of negative health behaviors were found, the association of poor perception of self-care with modifiable factors, such as sedentary lifestyle and smoking, stands out. Failure to seek dental care continues to be a challenging aspect among the elderly. These results point to a potential subjective indicator for clinical and health research surveys throughout the aging process.

ABSTRACT

Medir salud en el paciente anciano resulta complejo, pues es medir la resultante de diversas variables de carácter biológico, psicológico y social, por lo que la salud del anciano debe medirse en correspondencia con su funcionabilidad. Motivado por esto se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en el municipio Holguín con el objetivo de evaluar la capacidad y percepción de autocuidado del Adulto Mayor en la comunidad. De un universo de 354 ancianos de 3 consultorios, se seleccionaron 195, a los cuales se les aplicó un Instrumento diseñado al efecto para medir su nivel de autocuidado. Los resultados arrojaron que el 50,5 por ciento de los hombres y el 43,3 por ciento de las mujeres no se cuida adecuadamente, existe un déficit de autocuidado cognoscitivo-perceptivo en el 46,7 por ciento, un 9,8 por ciento tienen déficit parcial y 5,6 por ciento déficit total. De los 121 pacientes cuyo nivel de autocuidado es inadecuado el 75,2 por ciento son independientes y el 63,6 por ciento perciben su estado de salud aparentemente sano, concluyéndose que no obstante la gran mayoría de los adultos mayores estudiados ser independientes para realizar las actividades de la vida diaria, estos no desarrollan adecuadamente sus capacidades de autocuidado, por lo que el grado funcional independiente es una condición necesaria pero no suficiente para un buen autocuidado, los adultos mayores que perciben algún riesgo para su salud se cuidan más que los que se perciben sanos. El instrumento aplicado define la actividad de autocuidado en las personas mayores, recomendándose su introducción en la evaluación gerontológica en la Atención Primaria de Salud(AU)


To measure health in the old patient is complex, because it is to measure the resultant of diverse variables of biological, psychological and social character, for what the health in old man should be measured in correspondence with their functional state. Motivated for this reason was carried out a traverse descriptive study in the municipality Holguin, with the objective of evaluating the capacity and perception of self-care of the old men in the community. Of an universe of 354 elderly people of 3 clinics, 195 were selected, to which were applied an Instrument designed to the effect to measure their level of self-care. The results indicated that 50,5 percent of the men and 43,3 percent of the women don't their care appropriately, a deficit of cognitive-perceptive self-care exists in 46,7 percent, 9,8 percent has partial deficit and 5,6 percent total deficit. Of the 121 patients whose level of self-care is inadequate, 75,2 percent is independent and 63,6 percent perceives its seemingly healthy state of health, being concluded that nevertheless the great majority of the studied old men to be independent to carry out the activities of the daily life, they don't develop its capacities of self-care appropriately, for what the independent functional degree is a necessary but not enough condition for a good self-care, the elderly people that perceive some risk for its health take care more than those that are perceived healthy. The applied instrument defines the activity of self-care in the study patients, being recommended its introduction in the geriatric evaluation in the Primary Attention of Health(AU)
