Objective: to analyze the relationship between affective and sexual experiences and the intensity of physical and psychological symptoms of older adults. Methods: observational, cross-sectional and analytical study, guided by the STROBE tool, carried out in a geriatric outpatient clinic. Sociodemographic and health questionnaire, Affective and Sexual Experiences Scale for Elderly, Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale were used. Descriptive statistical analysis and Spearman correlation were performed. Results: forty-five older adults participated, with a mean age of 73.8 years; most (91.1%) were married. The highest averages of symptom intensity were pain (4.9), anxiety (4.8), drowsiness (4.5), and a feeling of well-being (4.5). There was a negative correlation between sadness and the dimensions of sexual activity and affective relationships (rs=-0.365; p=0.014 and rs=-0.386; p=0.009) and between anxiety and sexual activity (rs=-0.308; p=0.040). Conclusion: as sadness increases, affective and sexual experiences are less. The greater the anxiety intensity, the lower the sexual experiences.

“…In the FI group, aspects related to emotional/social support (absence of a partner or spouse) and basic needs for life maintenance and comfort of the living environment (not having daily availability of water and drinking untreated water) were associated with low perceived QoL. Studies indicate that the presence of a partner is associated with better mental health and better perceived QoL, especially in the physical and mental domains, emotional and social support, and can positively assist family socioeconomic status ( 34 , 35 ). A study conducted with 1,492 Dutch people aged 50 years or more observed that Participants who were married or cohabited scored higher in quality-of-life domains, mainly concerned with the psychological and social domains ( 34 ).…”

Understanding individual perception of Quality of Life (QoL) can help combat social and health inequalities. We aimed to identify factors associated with Low Perceived Quality of Life (LPQoL) in 295 adults and older adults with food security and food insecurity, in the city of Natal, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to December 2019, with collection of data on socioeconomic demographic status, lifestyle information, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and risk factors, emotional disorders, food (in) security and quality of life. To assess food insecurity, the Brazilian Scale of Food Insecurity—EBIA was used, and the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire was used to assess quality of life. Poisson's Regression was used to verify associations between variables and LPQoL, stratifying the sample into food secure (FS) and food insecure (FI) groups. In the FI group, being overweight, older adult, having no partner, drinking alcoholic beverages twice a week or more, and not having daily availability of water were associated with LPQoL, and in the FS group, having diabetes, monthly family income in the 1st and 2nd tertiles, and never having studied was associated with LPQoL. Reporting emotional disorders and sleeping < 7 h/day were associated with LPQoL in both FI and FS groups. LPQoL was associated with the occurrence of NCDs and risk factors, and emotional disorders, regardless of the food security measure. However, the lack of adequate access to water highlights the social vulnerability of the FI group.

“…Nessa perspectiva, o intuito de levantar características de determinada população do ponto de vista socioeconômico se justifica pelo fato de grande parte das morbidades não serem explicadas por fatores isolados e sim por um conjunto de fatores como aspectos relacionados ao modo de viver e a qualidade de vida do indivíduo 11 .…”

Diabetes Mellitus, doença crônica, grande problema de saúde pública e responsável pelas principais causas de mortalidade mundial. Tratamento com insulinoterapia que apesar de efetivo, o uso incorreto desencadeia riscos. A falta de conhecimento dos cuidados e habilidades básicas para a administração de insulina favorece descontrole glicêmico. Objetiva-se demonstrar se a execução de ações educativas é capaz de reduzir os erros na administração de insulina para o tratamento do Diabetes Tipo 1 e 2. Estudo com abordagem qualitativa: observação sistemática, realizado com pacientes com diabetes Tipo 1 e 2 de Unidade Básica de Saúde em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Muitos erros cometidos pelos pacientes com diabetes são relacionados ao "mecanicismo" do preparo e aplicação de insulina diária. Ações educativas direcionadas ao paciente com diabetes são importantes devido a sua capacidade de melhorar o impacto da saúde física, mental e emocional do paciente no enfrentamento da doença.
