“…18 Em estudo realizado com idosos que viviam sozinhos em comparação com idosos que viviam com a família, observou-se maiores índices de autoestima, saúde física, apoio familiar e comportamentos preventivos de saúde, como nutrição e exercício físico, entre os idosos que viviam com a família. 20 A família dos idosos que vivem no meio rural é a principal fonte de recurso e apoio, uma vez que os serviços sociais de saúde praticamente inexistem neste meio. Portanto, é possível dizer que a família representa um fator de proteção para o envelhecimento no meio rural.…”

RESUMO:O presente estudo identifica os arranjos familiares e descreve a rede de apoio familiar de idosos que vivem em uma área rural. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado com 36 idosos, através de entrevistas no domicílio. Os resultados demonstraram um número maior de mulheres (80,6%) entre os idosos, com boas condições de moradia e renda. O arranjo familiar mais encontrado foi o tri geracional (50%), em que residem idosos, filhos e netos. Observou-se um processo de via dupla nas transferências informais entre idosos, chefes de família e outros familiares que residem com o idoso. Nas famílias em que o idoso não é o chefe familiar, os idosos recebem mais ajuda do que prestam, ocorrendo o inverso nas famílias em que o idoso é o chefe. Este estudo favorece o surgimento de ações para o idoso rural e suas famílias, que apresentam dificuldades de acesso aos serviços de saúde. DESCRITORES:Envelhecimento. População rural. Composição familiar. ARRANGEMENTS AND SUPPORT NETWORK FAMILY FOR ELDERLY LIVING IN A RURAL AREAABSTRACT: This study identifies different family arrangements and describes the family support network for elderly who live in the Brazilian countryside. This transverse study was accomplished with thirty-six elderly through domicile interviews. Study results show a greater number of women (80.6%) among the elderly living in good living conditions with good household income. The most common family arrangement found out was tri-generational (50%), in which these elderly, their children, and their grandchildren all live together. The study observed a two-way process in informal transfers among these elderly, heads of the family, and other relatives living with the elderly. In families where the elderly was not the head of the household, the son usually takes up this role. In these families, the elderly receive more assistance than they provide, with the opposite occurring in families in which the elderly are the head. These results point toward the need for implementing new care actions for the rural elderly and their families which present difficulty in accessing Brazilian health care services. DESCRIPTORS:Aging.

En las familias donde los ancianos no es el jefe de familia, los ancianos reciben más ayuda que ellos proporcionan, mientras que lo contrario ocurrió en las ...

“…Não se observou relação da autoestima com o estado conjugal (p=0,590), escolaridade (p=0,316), sexo (p=0,352) e renda (p=0,602) (2) . Pesquisa internacional com idosos da comunidade obteve que o arranjo domiciliar se associou à autoestima; aqueles que residiam com a família possuíam níveis mais elevados de autoestima em comparação aos que moravam sozinhos (p<0,001) (6) . Adicionalmente, a literatura científica têm sugerido que a depressão, o número de doenças e a incapacidade funcional afetam negativamente a autoestima (2,7) .…”

AUTOESTIMA DE IDOSOS COMUNITÁRIOS E FATORES ASSOCIADOS: ESTUDO DE BASE POPULACIONAL* SELF-ESTEEM OF COMMUNITY-BASED ELDERLY AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY ABSTRACT:The aim was to assess the self-esteem of community-based elderly and verify its association with socio-demographic and health variables. The epidemiological survey was held in the urban region of Uberaba, a city in the state of Minas Gerais, with 980 elderly people. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Katz, Lawton and Short Geriatric Depression Scales were used and, for descriptive analysis, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation and multiple linear regression were used (p<0.05). The data were collected between August 2012 and March 2013. The female gender was predominant, 70-80 years, married, income one minimum wage, between four and seven years of education, who lived with their children. The median number of illnesses was five. The median selfesteem score was ten. The predictors of worse levels of selfesteem were higher age (p<0.01), lower education (p=0.021) and signs of depression (p<0.001). The community-based elderly presented high self-esteem and signs of depression were the main predictor of low self-esteem.
