Este estudo teve por objetivo verificar a relaçaÌo entre apoio social de idosos com alteraçoÌes cognitivas que residem em diferentes contextos de vulnerabilidade social e a presença de crianças vivendo no mesmo domiciÌlio. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, que avaliou 85 idosos residentes em diferentes contextos de vulnerabilidade social, e que apresentaram resultado no Mini Exame do Estado Mental abaixo da nota de corte. Todos os cuidados eÌticos foram observados. Foram aplicados instrumento de caracterizaçaÌo sociodemograÌfica e familiar, Mini Exame do Estado Mental e o Medical Outcomes Study (MOS). Os resultados revelaram bons niÌveis de apoio social recebidos pelos idosos e correlaçaÌo estatisticamente significativa entre a dimensaÌo de apoio emocional e a presença de crianças no domiciÌlio (t=2,16, sendo p<0,01). Esses resultados possibilitam conhecer melhor a relaçaÌo entre idosos e crianças ao revelar que o contato intergeracional favorece a percepçaÌo de apoio social satisfatoÌrio pelos idosos.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social support to elderly patients with cognitive alterations in different contexts of social vulnerability and the presence of children living in the same household. A descriptive, cross-sectional study assessed 85 elderly individuals in different contexts of social vulnerability; all of them presented results below the cut-off point in the mini mental state examination. All ethical guidelines were respected. A sociodemographic and family characterization tool, the mini mental state examination, and the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) were applied. The results showed good levels of social support received by elderly individuals and a statistically significant correlation between the extent of emotional support and the presence of children in the household (t=2.16, p<0.01). These results enable a better understanding on the relationships between elderly people and children by evidencing that intergenerational contact favors the perception of satisfactory social support by the elderly.
