Resumo: | This dissertation presents and discusses the results of an applied research on the
accessibility of residents in a Long Term Care Institution (LTCIs) in the city of Natal-
RN. The main objective of this research is to suggest projectual improvements that
maximize the accessibility in a LTCIs of Natal-RN, considering the aspects of mobility,
safety, comfort and independence of elderly residents. Moreover, one should consider
the specific characteristics of the user population, capabilities and limitations of the
biological process of aging, which causes damage to the neurological system,
musculoskeletal and cardiovascular and progressively affects on visual acuity, balance
and locomotion of elderly people. This research has a qualitative approach and divided
into four phases: exploratory, bibliographical and documentary research, mapping of
the LTCIs of Natal-RN, case study. The phase of the mapping presented an overview
of accessibility on LTCIs of Natal-RN. The institution of the case study was defined
based on the overall assessment of accessibility and ergonomics criteria, preceded by
an application of an Ergonomic Work Analysis to understand the accessibility of the
elderly people. Interactional and observational methods were used to collect field data.
To this end, an intense process of social construction was conducted, involving the
elderly residents, caregivers, health professionals and general servants and LTCIs´
managers. It was found that the NBR 9050 is not comprehensive to solve the diversity
of accessibility problems found in LTCIs. All LTCIs investigated were in disconformity to
the NBR 9050. In the case study, it was found that the inappropriate design hinders the
daily activities of the elderly people and is a source of risk of accidents. The
environment, facilities and lack of assistive technologies hinder the autonomy of the
elderly people, and this LTCI requires ergonomic intervention to improve the
accessibility, autonomy and security of the elderly people |
