Resumo: |
The goal of this dissertation was to evaluate the quality of life of elderly participants of a group of health promotion, through the generic questionnaire SF-36. The Brazilian version of SF-36 questionnaire was administered to 78 elderly to assess the quality of life. The results obtained were associated to the socioeconomic, demographic characteristics, conditions of health and lifestyle. We observe that for seniors who attended and participated in the program the socializing itself overlaps the other dimensions of quality of life and health promotion. The importance of sociality draws the attention of elderly non-participants, they become interested in the program, seeing it as a significant mediator between "health" and "quality of life" and helping to break the vicious cycle of fragility syndrome. Of the areas assessed, it emphasizes the maintenance of functional capacity directly associated, in turn, the quality of life, insofar as it relates the individual's ability to keep both the relations of social exchange, such as independence. This area presents satisfactory association with the clinical evaluation. The SF-36 proved to be a suitable instrument for the application relatively fast and easy to use for evaluating the quality of life in the elderly. In the population studied, the quality of life was associated with the lifestyle of patients and pointed to the need for actions that contribute positively to improving the lifestyle in this new phase of life |
