“…Corroborating our findings, previous studies have shown that religiosity is closely linked to factors such as community participation, socialization and well-being 17,30 and these factors have previously been associated with a better performance in BADL and IADL 7,31 . This suggests that by producing such psychosocial benefits among the elderly, religiosity contributes to greater independence in daily activities.…”

Objective: To verify the association between religiosity and functional capacity in the elderly. Method: a systematic review of literature in the SciELO, Lilacs, MEDLINE/ PubMed and the portal of CAPES Journals databases was performed. The descriptors were selected through the list of Descriptors in Health Sciences (Decs) and Medical Subject Headings (Mesh). Original articles in Portuguese and English, published between 2007 and 2017, with a sample composed of elderly persons aged 60 years or more were included. Systematic or integrative reviews, case studies, scale validation studies, dissertations and theses and studies on religious social support were excluded, as well as articles that included elderly persons and adults in the sample. Result: 280 articles were identified, of which six were included in this review. Religiosity was associated with improved functional capacity and coping with disability and the delay of functional decline in the elderly. Different aspects of religiosity were associated with functional capacity, such as participation in religious activities, religious leadership role performance and religious beliefs and traditions. In three articles the positive association between religiosity and functional capacity was linked only to public religious activities and not to intrinsic religious practices. Conclusion: religiosity is significantly and positively associated with the functional capacity of the elderly. The association between intrinsic religiosity and functional capacity is still unclear.

“…The ages ranged from 61 to 88 years, with the mean age being 75 years. The female prevalence in this study agrees with studies performed with this population and reflects the feminization of old age 19 . All the interviewees said they were religious and actively experienced their spirituality/religiosity.…”

Objective: To identify the meanings attributed to the experience of spirituality when faced with life situations among elderly persons living in a long-term care facility. Method: A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive survey was carried out, based on interviews with eight elderly people living in a long-term care facility for the elderly in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Results: The content that emerged from the interviews underwent qualitative analysis for the extraction of units of significance and the elaboration of two thematic categories: Spirituality/religiosity as a direction of life and spirituality/religiosity as a meaning for life and a source of renewal, fulfilment and happiness. Conclusion: When describing the experience of spirituality as an important strategy for finding meaning in life, the elderly persons in this study revealed it to be a psychic and emotional support for coping with existential challenges. This knowledge allows professionals working in these institutions to invest in practices that incorporate spirituality as an element of the comprehensive care of the elderly.

“…Na amostra, foi verificado que esta satisfação com a vida foi fortemente relacionada com as facetas paz e totalidade & integração. Estes dados corroboram os dados encontrados por outro estudo, no qual se verificou que, para alguns idosos, a espiritualidade influencia todos os aspectos e momentos de seu viver diário, o que interfere em como se sentem emocional e também fisicamente (CHAVES, 2015). Ressalta-se, ainda, outro estudo de revisão, realizado por Moreira-Almeida (2006), através do qual identificou-se que, para os idosos, a vivência espiritual, por meio de suas crenças pessoais, confere satisfação com a vida, através da esperança, à medida que conseguem desenvolver expectativas positivas e enfrentar a realidade e as incertezas do futuro.…”

“…Segundo Seybold (2007), a ERCP também parece influenciar os processos fisiológicos, relacionados aos sistemas cardiovascular, neuroendócrino e imunológico, promovendo benefícios na saúde dos indivíduos. Para alguns, sua vida espiritual os auxilia na manutenção, promoção e restauração da saúde, através de sua relação ou conexão com o Ser Superior (CHAVES, 2015).…”

RESUMO Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida no domínio da espiritualidade, da religiosidade, de crenças pessoais e fatores associados em idosos longevos. Para isso, foi utilizado o questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life -Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs, através de um estudo descritivo, transversal, com a participação de 100 idosos. Verificou-se que provavelmente a qualidade de vida esteja relacionada com a autoestima e com o bem-estar pessoal/espiritual. Neste âmbito, profissionais de saúde precisam estar engajados e incorporar este conhecimento, principalmente aqueles atrelados aos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde. PALAVRAS-CHAVE
