“…The groups were similar in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, with a prevalence of women, married, with low levels of education, Catholic and retired. The findings corroborate the literature on the profile of the elderly in a context of high social vulnerability ( 12 , 19 ) . Schooling and economic conditions are significant determinants and protective factors for self-care, as people with higher levels of income and schooling have better access to information that contributes to healthy lifestyle habits, as well as having a higher level of social participation and family functionality, while those with low educational and economic levels have more affective and emotional disorders ( 19 , 20 ) .…”

“…Several studies in the literature looked at the relationship between family functionality and social support (4,10,11) . There have been studies analyzing the relationship between socially vulnerable elderly people and family functionality and other study variables, such as sleep, overload, caregivers and depression (11)(12)(13) , but there have hardly been any studies involving the social support perceived by this specific population: elderly people in a context of social vulnerability.…”

Objective: To compare the social support as perceived by elderly persons in a context of social vulnerability according to family functionality. Method: A cross-sectional study using a quantitative approach, carried out in São Carlos-SP, with 123 elderly people living in a context of high social vulnerability. The sample was divided into two groups: good family functionality and moderate/severe family dysfunction. Data was collected on sociodemographic characteristics, family functionality (Family APGAR) and social support (Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale). The Mann-Whitney, Chi-square and Fisher’s exact statistical tests were used. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between social support and family functionality (p < 0.05). The group with good family functionality obtained higher median social support scores: affective 100.00; material 95.00; information 90.00; emotional 90.00; positive social interaction 85.00; when compared to the group with moderate/severe family dysfunction: affective 86.67; material 87.50; information 70.00; emotional 65.00; positive social interaction 65.00. Conclusion: Elderly persons living in dysfunctional families have less perceived social support when compared to those living in families with good family functionality.

“…Os grupos foram semelhantes quanto às características sociodemográficas, com prevalência de mulheres, casadas, com baixa escolaridade, católicas e aposentadas. Os achados corroboram com a literatura em relação ao perfil da pessoa idosa no contexto de alta vulnerabilidade social (12,19) . A escolaridade e as condições econômicas são fatores determinantes, significativos e de proteção para o autocuidado, pois pessoas com níveis mais elevados de rendimentos e escolaridade têm melhor acesso às informações que contribuem para hábitos de vida saudáveis, além de terem maior nível de participação social e funcionalidade familiar, enquanto aqueles com baixos níveis educacionais e econômicos apresentam mais transtornos afetivos e emocionais (19,20) .…”

“…Foram encontrados na literatura diversos estudos que buscaram a relação entre funcionalidade familiar e apoio social (4,10,11) . Há estudos com que analisam as relações entre pessoas idosas em vulnerabilidade social, com a funcionalidade familiar e outras variáveis de estudo, como: sono, sobrecarga, cuidadores, depressão (11)(12)(13) mas dificilmente são encontrados estudos envolvendo o apoio social percebido por essa população em específico: pessoas idosas em contexto de vulnerabilidade social.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar o apoio social percebido por pessoas idosas em contexto de vulnerabilidade social segundo a funcionalidade familiar. Método: Estudo transversal de abordagem quantitativa, realizado em São Carlos-SP, com 123 idosos inseridos em contexto de alta vulnerabilidade social. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: boa funcionalidade familiar e disfunção familiar moderada/severa. Foram coletados dados de caracterização sociodemográfica, funcionalidade familiar (APGAR de Família) e apoio social (Escala de Apoio Social do Medical Outcomes Study). Foram utilizados os testes estatísticos Mann-Whitney, Qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher. Resultados: Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre apoio social e funcionalidade familiar (p < 0,05). O grupo com boa funcionalidade familiar obteve maiores escores medianos de apoio social: afetivo 100,00; material 95,00; informação 90,00; emocional 90,00; interação social positiva 85,00; quando comparado ao grupo com disfunção familiar moderada/severa: afetivo 86,67; material 87,50; informação 70,00; emocional 65,00; interação social positiva 65,00. Conclusão: Pessoas idosas que vivem em famílias disfuncionais têm menos apoio social percebido quando comparadas àquelas que vivem em famílias com boa funcionalidade familiar.

BACKGROUND The impact of an acquired neurological injury extends beyond the affected individual and may affect the quality-of-life of their caregivers as well. Understanding the protective factors of these aspects is useful to aid in developing health promotion and prevention actions focused on this population. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to check the predictive factors of the quality-of-life of informal caregivers of people with acquired neurological disorders. METHODS This was a cross-sectional and quantitative observational research. Data collection was conducted using an online survey, including questions about the sociodemographic and health data of caregivers, a quality-of-life questionnaire (WHOQOL-Bref), and the Zarit burden scale. The participants were caregivers of individuals with acquired neurological conditions, of any gender and over 18 years of age, who were one of the main caregivers of the ailing person for at least 6 months. The caregivers over 60 years of age, paid, and previously diagnosed with neurological diseases were excluded. A multiple linear regression was modeled for statistical analysis, and a significance level of 5% was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The study involved 144 informal caregivers, mostly women with an average age of 43.7 years. 51.3% were children, with completed higher education and paid employment. 42.36% of the caregivers experienced mild to moderate burden. The predictors of the quality-of-life included the level of burden, sleep difficulties, diagnosis of depression or anxiety, duration of caregiving, patient's use of a feeding tube, and the caregiver's education level. CONCLUSIONS The quality-of-life of primary caregivers is related to the level of burden, sleep difficulties, the use of feeding tubes, and other diagnoses regarding the cared-for patient.
