This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the profile of CNPq research productivity scholarships in nursing. The sample was composed by 141 researchers and the research instrument consisted of a specific form including variables related to the sociodemographic and the curricular characterization of the researchers. The data were organized using SPSS and were presented through descriptive statistics. Chi-square test and ANOVA were also used. The significance level used in the statistical tests was 5%. It was found that the majority (97.16%) were female and are included at level 2 (61.70%), demonstrating the association between gender and level of the researchers (p = 0.00). We conclude that there is predominance of females operating at level 2, with the majority of researchers located in the Southeast part of Brazil, having had doctoral training in Brazil and post-doctoral experience abroad.
RESUMO: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo, que caracterizou idosos dependentes com sintomas ou portadores de afecções neuropsiquátricas, segundo seus cuidadores familiares. Teve por sujeitos cuidadores familiares de idosos dependentes adscritos a uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família. Os dados foram coletados por meio de formulário de informações e analisados por estatística descritiva. Os idosos eram em sua maioria do sexo masculino, casados, com idade média de 72 anos; e majoritariamente aposentados que trabalharam na construção civil. Apresentam, segundo os cuidadores, sintomas de uma ou mais afecção neuropsiquiátrica, com destaque para a cefaléia; a afecção mais frequente foi o acidente vascular encefálico. Considerando os índices de dependência gerados pelo acidente vascular encefálico evidencia-se a necessidade de conhecer o perfil dos idosos afetados por esta condição e por sintomas neuropsiquiátricos, objetivando orientar a atuação dos profissionais da atenção básica. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: CHARACTERIZATION OF ELDERLY PERSONS WHO ARE SYMPTOMATIC OR ACTUAL CARRIERS OF NEUROPSYCHIATRIC CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO FAMILY CARERSABSTRACT: A descriptive, quantitative study which characterizes dependent elderly persons who have symptoms of or are actually suffering from neuropsychiatric conditions according to their families. As its study subjects the research had family carers of dependent elderly persons, on the books of a Basic Family Health Unit. The data were collected via an information form and analyzed by descriptive statistics. The majority of the elderly persons were masculine, married, and with an average age of 72; they were mainly retired or working in civil construction. According to their carers they presented one or more neuropsychiatric conditions with emphasis on severe headaches; the most common condition was the cerebrovascular accident. Considering the high levels of dependency caused by CVAs, it is evident that it is necessary to be familiar with the profile of elderly persons affected by this condition and by neuropsychiatric symptoms, in order to direct the actions of health professionals in basic care.
