“…The authors attributed this occurrence to the risks found in the elderly population or a possible lack of resoluteness in the activity of the UBSs. 21 However, studies 20,21 of the frequency of medical appointments per elderly individual are not limited to primary health care, which probably contributed to the greater proportion of medical appointments found per patient, when compared with the present study. However, by establishing the role of primary health care as the starting point for the health system, given its bond and continuity, it can be inferred that health care for the elderly still requires improvements.…”

The aims of the present study were to characterize the reasons for medical appointments and treatment procedures of elderly people in the Estratégia Saúde da Família ("Family Health Strategy") (ESF), with emphasis on mental health, as well as to identify the prevalence of common mental disorders, and compare this with the approaches described in medical records. A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 219 elderly persons was performed by reviewing medical records and applying a Self-Response Questionnaire . For this population the average number of appointments per year was three, 42.3% of appointments were to obtain a medical prescription, and 70.9% of medical procedures involved the provision of medical prescriptions. There were eight referrals to specialized mental health services. The most prescribed psychiatric drugs were anxiolytics (55%), and antidepressants (29.7%). A total of 19.6% of the elderly persons had scores above seven in the SRQ-20. It was observed that a large proportion of mental disorders were not detected, and there was a failure in the procedures adopted. More investment in patient flow and the definition of assistance criteria for this population is required.

“…In other words, it is the construction that the individual constructs of his/her personal well-being marked in his/her individual and collective experience. 4 With respect to successful aging, it is related to the identification of individuals' behaviors, through which they compensate for the losses derived from the aging process. The stimulation and the environment support are maintained to assure behaviors in diverse daily life domains.…”

“…Aging is not a disease, but a stage of life with characteristics and values, in which changes occur in the individual, in the organic structure, as in their metabolism, biochemical balance, immunity, nutrition, functional mechanisms in emotional, intellectual conditions, and in the communication itself. 4 Based on this, it is evident that the respondents assume the progressive deterioration that follows the aging process. Although no one has any physical impediment that limits them to perform the daily life activities, they have shown to be more tired and with less agility when performing them.…”

“…Before they had improvement goals and now they try to transmit their knowledge and experience to the young or those who will remain in their place, according to other studies on the subject. [4][5][6][7] There is allusion to the devaluation they feel when entering this aging stage, often feeling despised by their family, their social and work environment. Accordingly, having greater presence of elderly people between 60 and 69 years in cohabitation groups, associates with greater autonomy and participation in the labor market, with leisure time for activities, or with an escape from the elderly stereotype.…”

“…Essa afirmação foi constatada em estudo com idosos, que concluiu que eles são grandes usuários dos serviços de saúde, o que requer organização da rede pública frente a uma alta demanda por procedimentos diagnósticos terapêuticos entre esse grupo populacional. 23 Assim, no presente estudo, a inclusão de idosos na amostra sugere aumento no número médio de consultas médicas, entretanto, ao comparar a média de consultas médicas entre idosos e adultos, aponta-se um menor número para os idosos.…”

Access to medical appointments in public health services Objetivo: Avaliar o acesso às consultas médicas em serviços públicos de saúde. Métodos: Pesquisa transversal, analítica de base populacional, em município de porte médio, no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados a partir de questionário semiestruturado a uma amostra representativa do município, de 2150 indivíduos. O tratamento estatístico considerou o nível de significância p<0,05. Resultados: Dos entrevistados, 19,4% afirmaram ter procurado um profissional/serviço público de saúde nos 15 dias anteriores à entrevista. Entre esses, 75,6% foram na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). A maior procura foi por parte do sexo feminino (p<0,001) e os sem plano de saúde (p<0,001). A maioria (77,2%) foi atendida na primeira vez que procurou o serviço de saúde pública. Pode-se destacar uma maior prevalência ao não acesso quando a procura foi na APS e para tratamento/reabilitação (p<0,05). A utilização de consultas médicas no ano foi observada para 54,4%, com maiores médias para mulheres, adultos e sem plano (p<0,05). Conclusão: Necessita-se repensar a gestão de saúde pública e as práticas dos profissionais para efetivar o acesso às consultas médicas. Assim, sugere-se adotar medidas de acolhimento e educação permanente junto aos profissionais da saúde da família.

Methods: Transversal, analytic, population-based research in a medium-sized city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data were collected from a semi structured questionnaire presented to a representative sample of the city, of 2150 people. The statistic treatment considered p<0.05 as the level of significance. Results: 19.4% of the interviewees reported having sought a public health professional/service up to 15 days prior to the interview. Among these cases, 75.6% occurred in the Primary Health Care (PHC). The majority of these seekers were females (p<0.001) and people with no private health insurance (p<0.001). The majority (77.2%) was seen in the first time they sought the public health service. A bigger prevalence of no access could be highlighted when the patient sought the PHC and for treatment/rehabilitation (p<0.05). The use of medical service in that year was reported to be 54.4%, with a higher average for women, adults and people with no private health insurance (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is necessary to think over the public health management and professional conduct to make medical appointments effective.
