ABSTRACT

O envelhecimento populacional é um fenômeno vivenciado em todo o mundo. No Brasil, esse processo é relativamente recente, embora esteja ocorrendo de maneira acelerada. Em relação aos fatores determinantes do envelhecimento, destacam-se os tipos de moradia, que podem influenciar diretamente na longevidade de um indivíduo. Diante do breve exposto, objetiva-se evidenciar as condições de habitação como fator influente na vida dos idosos residentes no Condomínio Cidade Madura, implantado em João Pessoa, capital do estado da Paraíba. Para tanto, empregam-se, como metodologia, a observação direta, o estudo de caso e o registro fotográfico. Nota-se que a iniciativa é um avanço na área de habitação para a pessoa idosa, especialmente para os de baixa renda. Conclui-se, portanto, que o condomínio atende razoavelmente às questões físicas da moradia.

ABSTRACT

To consider what pharmacists can do to prevent patients from having leftover prescription drugs, we conducted a qualitative study about the various causes behind the unused drugs. We interviewed one male and four female home-care patients who had leftover prescription drugs that pharmacists detected via their home visiting service. The Grounded Theory Approach was used for analysis, and two types were identified as “exogenous factors that cause confusion for the patient” and “patient’s personal thoughts and feelings.” “Exogenous factors that cause confusion” involved eight factors, including unsuitable dosing schedule for lifestyle, complex timing for taking medicine, and inadequate support for enhancing patients’ compliance. These factors were divided into [problems with prescription] and [difficult changes to manage]. In “patient’s personal thoughts and feelings,” 16 concepts were identified and their broader concepts comprised six categories: [distrust of drugs], [taking a positive view about one’s own non-compliance], [psychological distance from medical staff], and others. It was assumed that there would be a perception gap of compliance between patients and medical staff. Moreover, patients affirmed their poor compliance and they did not see the occurrence of leftover drugs as a problem. Additionally, psychological distance from medical staff prevents patients from consultation. Therefore, pharmacists should check patients’ compliance for each drug as well as any medical problems. Knowing patients’ inherent mind revealed by this study, the pharmacist can assist medication alongside patients and contribute to the early prevention of unused drugs.

ABSTRACT

A dependência física e financeira, bem como a falta de cuidadores, podem levar o idoso à institucionalização. Objetiva-se, neste estudo, identificar o perfil do idoso residente em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos localizada na cidade de Mossoró (RN). Trata-se de um estudo descritivo documental. Nessa Instituição há 33 mulheres e 24 homens, com 40,3% deles com idade entre 75 e 85 anos. Conhecer o perfil de morbidade, dentre os aspectos biopsicossociais do idoso, torna possível aos profissionais de saúde viabilizar ações de assistência, adequar terapêuticas específicas e desenvolver ações preventivas e de promoção à saúde.

ABSTRACT

O Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Gerontologia/PUC-SP desenvolve pesquisas em diversificadas linhas algumas das quais têm em comum o acolhimento à questão das novas tecnologias no envelhecimento. São investigações de caráter interdisciplinar que envolvem docentes-pesquisadores, orientandos de mestrado e de iniciação científica. Na área da educação a distância, a PUC-SP inaugura um trabalho em que o idoso interessado em avançar em seus conhecimentos é recebido em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, em que pode participar de cursos avançados de aquisição de novas linguagens e de navegação na Internet, cujas consequências são o investimento em uma via mais digna para o envelhecer no sentido de esse idoso sentir-se um ser ligado aos novos tempos em que a interatividade digital traz-lhe possibilidades ilimitadas de contatos com o outro, com o mundo enfim. A pesquisa sobre a inclusão cibersocial do idoso mostra o que significa colocar o idoso em contato com a Internet, quando este recebe, por meio das redes sociais, ofertas de várias ordens, e equipamentos que contornam limitações de ordem física ou motora. Além disso, o registro digital da memória do idoso, de sua história e referências também podem constituir conteudos preciosos para pesquisas. A relação do idoso com a informática pode situá-lo como um ator, produtor e reprodutor no ciberespaço. Isso significa que as vantagens do uso do computador fazem o idoso ganhar novo sentido na vida, na medida em que pode assim preencher o vazio causado pelas perdas que lhe vão ocorrendo, possibilitando que ele redimensione seu olhar para o presente e futuro.


The Program of Graduate Studies in Gerontology at PUC-SP develops research along diversified lines, some of which have in common the introduction of the issue of new technologies in the aging process. They constitute interdisciplinary research involving professors-researchers, those working towards a Master's degree and those beginning their scientific careers. In the area of distance learning, PUC-SP presents a pioneering initiative in which seniors interested in furthering their knowledge are received in a virtual learning environment, in which they can participate in advanced courses to acquire new languages and learn how to surf the Web. The result of this is the investment in a more dignified route for aging, in the sense that seniors will feel connected to the contemporary, in which digital inclusion brings unlimited possibilities of contacts with others, and with the world as a whole. Research on seniors' cyber/social inclusion shows what it means to enable them to get in touch with the Internet, when they receive, by means of several social networks, offers of different orders, and tools that allow them to bypass their physical or motor limitations. Furthermore, the digital register of senior memory and of their history can also make up precious subject matters for research. The relation of seniors with information technology can turn them into actors, producers and reproducers in cyberspace. This means that the advantages of using the computer enable seniors to add a new sense to their lives, in the sense that they can thus fill the void produced by their gradual losses, making it possible for them to reassess their way of looking at the present and the future.
