Objective: To describe and reflect the possible relationships established by the elderly between happiness and money. Method: It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, carried out from a semi-structured interview with 19 elderly people, in their households, of both sexes in 2017 and 2018, in two states of the South region of Brazil, through content analysis. Results: What emerged in the voice of older people unfolded into two categories: Money as a way of life and Money does not bring happiness. Participants indicated relationships between happiness and money because money is one of the conditions to meet the basic needs of daily life, but it appeared as a propedeutic resource for happiness. They also reported that the obsessive pursuit of money can generate fascination, anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The participants indicated that money is a means to live well and be happy and was not considered the highest goal of their lives. He is not a promoter of happiness, but can contribute to the pursuit of peace, tranquility and inner satisfaction.
O atendimento eficaz aos idosos necessita ter enfoque na interdisciplinaridade. Assim, o objetivo do estudo é analisar a relevância e eficácia do atendimento multiprofissional ou interdisciplinar nos cuidados de saúde dos idosos. Acredita-se que o envelhecimento como um fenótipo complexo requer pesquisas integrando conceitos das humanidades, ciências sociais, epidemiologia, neurologia, fisiologia e biologia molecular. O tipo de pesquisa é bibliográfica sobre a Interdisciplinaridade dos profissionais voltada ao envelhecimento humano. Os resultados apontaram que, através de uma variedade de métodos, o atendimento interdisciplinar pode compartilhar um compromisso com a pesquisa baseada na comunidade que visa apoiar a colaboração, capacitar as comunidades e, finalmente, transformar práticas e políticas para melhor atender às diversas necessidades dos idosos urbanos e rurais.
