Resumo
O presente estudo debruçou-se sobre a Qualidade de Vida na População Idosa do Concelho da Sertã, em diferentes contextos habitacionais: em regime de instituição (lar ou centro de dia) e em regime de residência própria sem estarem associados a qualquer instituição.
Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, com dois objectivos principais: 1) conhecer e comparar a qualidade de vida dos idosos do concelho da Sertã em diferentes regimes habitacionais; 2) construir um questionário de avaliação da qualidade de vida no idosos, que englobe as 8 grandes dimensões da qualidade de vida no idoso: 1) Bem Estar Emocional, 2) Relações Interpessoais, 3) Bem Estar Material 4) Desenvolvimento Pessoal, 5) Bem Estar Físico, 6) Auto-determinação 7) Inclusão Social, 8) Direitos e, a avaliação global da qualidade de vida.
Foi utilizada uma amostra de 60 idosos do concelho da Sertã, escolhidos aleatoriamente, com idade superior a 65 anos. Foram entrevistados, através do questionário construído pela investigadora, 30 idosos institucionalizados (idade média: 82; 40% mulheres) e 30 idosos sem estarem associados a qualquer instituição (idade média: 75,23; 33,3% mulheres). Os primeiros revelam maior percepção de boa qualidade de vida, atribuindo à Instituição um contributo positivo e fundamental no seu “bem-estar físico” e nas “relações interpessoais”. Os idosos que se encontram sem qualquer apoio institucional, revelam menor satisfação na sua qualidade de vida, principalmente no âmbito do “bem-estar físico”, do “bem-estar emocional”, da “inclusão social” e das “relações interpessoais”.
