“…Thus, the possibility of performing daily activities makes an elderly individual feel healthy. 7 The present study was affected by the limitations that are inherent to cross-sectional studies. Although associations were found between self-assessments of health and health indicators, it was not possible to establish a causal relationship.…”

Objective: To determine the association between negative self-assessment of health status and sociodemographic variables and health indicators in elderly persons registered with the Family Health Strategy of Campina Grande, Paraíba. Methodolog y: A cross-sectional study with home-based primary data collection was carried out among elderly persons of both genders. The variables studied were: self-assessment of health, socioeconomic and demographic factors, number of referred chronic diseases and degree of dependence in basic activities of daily living. Possible factors associated with self-assessment of health were verified through multivariate logistic regression. Results: We evaluated 420 elderly persons (68.1% of whom were women) with an average age of 71.57 years. There was a positive association between negative self-assessment of health status and elderly persons with two or three chronic diseases (OR=2.70; CI95%:1.47-4.96), four or more chronic diseases (OR=4.35; CI95%:1,58-12.01), a mild degree of dependence (OR=2.34; CI95%:1.13-4.87), moderate dependence (OR=2.11; CI95%:1.07-4.17) and those who were married (OR=2.46; CI95%:1.01-6.01). Conclusion: The results show that the negative selfassessment of health status was associated with the number of referred chronic diseases and degree of dependence in basic activities of daily living. There was also a tendency towards association with married elderly persons. The results suggest the need for actions aimed at the prevention and diagnosis of chronic diseases, as well as the promotion and maintenance of functional capacity and disability prevention or treatment.

“…The elderly has become actors in the process of living and aging, where the family support network, the financial resources and the level of independence are important elements. 25 The autonomy deals with the possibility of decisionmaking. For this to occur it is essential to review the relationship between the subject involved in the action.…”

Objetivo: Identificar as práticas realizadas pelos profissionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) junto aos idosos atendidos em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS). Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida junto aos profissionais da ESF. A pesquisa constituiu-se por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 16 profissionais de saúde. Resultados: A partir da análise temática, proposta por Minayo, emergiram sete categorias: visita domiciliar, grupos de convivência, atividades físicas, escuta, vínculo, corresponsabilização do idoso e prevenção de agravos. Conclusão: Para pensar nos significados do envelhecimento devem-se considerar as relações dinâmicas que a sociedade remete ao processo de envelhecer. É papel do profissional da saúde assegurar o cuidado integral ao idoso. Refletir sobre suas práticas de cuidado garante ao usuário um atendimento digno e humanizado, compreendendo o idoso em sua totalidade.
