          Abstract

          Abstract Objective: to identify the factors associated with the institutionalization of the elderly. Method: a case-control, population-based study was performed with 387 elderly people. The study considered cases of elderly people (n=191) living in long-term care facilities, and a control group (n=196) who lived in homes in urban areas of the city. Both groups were identified from the records of the Family Health Strategy and were randomly selected. Institutionalization was considered a dependent variable, and sociodemographics, clinical factors, functional status, and cognitive impairment were considered independent variables. Comparison between groups was analyzed using the Chi-squared and Pearson tests and the logistic regression model was used in adjusted analysis, with measurements of effect expressed as odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval. Variables with p≤0.20 were considered for entry in the multiple model. Results: variables that remained associated with institutionalization in multiple analysis were: not having a partner (OR=9.7), not having children (OR=4.0), presenting cognitive impairment (OR=11.4), and depending on others to perform basic activities of daily living (OR=10.9). Conclusion: cognitive impairment and dependency for basic activities of daily living were more strongly associated with institutionalization. Home care strategies and preventive actions for risk factors should be stimulated to delay the referral of elderly people to Long Term Care Facilities for the Elderly, and to develop strategies that allow the elderly to remain socially active.

          Resumo Objetivo: Identificar os fatores associados à institucionalização de idosos. Método: Estudo caso-controle de base populacional com 387 idosos. Consideraram-se casos idosos (n=191) residentes em instituições de longa permanência e os controles, idosos (n=196) residentes nos domicílios urbanos do município do Rio Grande do Sul, alocados a partir dos registros das Estratégias de Saúde da Família, ambos os grupos foram selecionados aleatoriamente. Considerou-se como variável dependente a institucionalização e como variáveis independentes as sociodemográficas, clínicas, capacidade funcional e comprometimento cognitivo. Na comparação entre os grupos, foram empregados os Testes qui-quadrado, de Pearson, o modelo de regressão logística com análise ajustada, e medidas de efeito expressas em odds ratio com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Para entrada no modelo múltiplo, foram consideradas as variáveis com p≤0,20. Resultados: Na análise múltipla permaneceram associados à institucionalização: não ter companheiro(a) (OR=9,7), não possuir filhos(as) (OR=4,0), apresentar comprometimento cognitivo (OR=11,4) e ter dependência para as atividades básicas de vida diária (OR=10,9). Conclusão: O comprometimento cognitivo e as dependências para atividades básicas de vida diária foram os fatores mais fortemente associados à institucionalização. Medidas de cuidados em domicílio e ações para prevenir a instalação dos fatores de risco devem ser estimuladas para retardar o encaminhamento dos idosos para as instituições e desenvolver estratégias que permitam a manutenção dos idosos no convívio social.

            Prevalence and Causes of Functional Disability in an Elderly General Population of Japanese: The Hisayama Study

            Background There are limited data on the prevalence and causes of disability in the elderly general population in Japan. Methods In a population-based cross-sectional study of 1550 Japanese aged 65 years or older, we examined the prevalence of functional disability (defined as a Barthel Index score of ≤95) and its causes. Results A total of 311 of the participants had a disability (prevalence 20.1%). The prevalence of disability increased with age and doubled with every 5-year increment in age. Prevalence was higher in women than in men, especially among those aged 85 years or older. With respect to the cause of functional disability, dementia accounted for 23.5%, stroke for 24.7%, orthopedic disease for 12.9%, and other disease for 38.9% of cases in men; in women, the respective values were 35.8%, 9.3%, 31.0%, and 23.9%. Regarding age, dementia was the most frequent cause of disability in subjects aged 75 years or older, whereas stroke was most common in subjects aged 65 to 74 years. Approximately two-thirds of cases of total dependence were attributed to dementia in both sexes, whereas the main cause of slight or moderate/severe dependence was stroke in men and orthopedic disease in women. Among participants with total dependence, 94.8% resided in a hospital or health care facility. Conclusions Our findings indicate that functional disability is common among Japanese elderly adults and that its major cause is stroke in men and dementia in women.

              Em busca de uma instituição para a pessoa idosa morar: motivos apontados por familiares

              Com o objetivo de conhecer as situações que motivam famílias a asilar seu familiar idoso, desenvolvemos estudo de abordagem metodológica qualitativa, da qual participaram seis familiares responsáveis por idosos asilados. A coleta das informações ocorreu por meio de entrevista aberta. A análise confluiu para duas categorias denominadas: o asilamento como forma de atender às necessidades do idoso e a busca pelo melhor local para o idoso morar e manter o vínculo com a família. Viver o processo de asilamento de um familiar idoso constitui-se num período de transição em que diferentes fatores são levados em consideração e contribuem na decisão de asilar o velho. Quando há esta deliberação, a família vai à busca do melhor local para o idoso morar em termos de estrutura física, cuidados e convívio social com iguais e outras pessoas, pois entendem que por meio de visitas podem manter vínculos familiares e afetivos.
