| Résumé: | Aging is growing at an accelerated pace in the world, which increases the
vulnerability of these people and can aggravate pre-existing pathological conditions.
Depression interferes with quality of life (QoL), generating greater demand for health
services, low adherence to treatment, neglect of self-care and greater propensity for
suicide. This research aimed to verify the association between socioeconomic
factors, depression and the quality of life of elderly people assisted in Primary Health
Care in Brazil and Portugal. The methodology adopted consisted of a comparative,
cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, which evaluated 150 elderly
people, 100 in Brazil and 50 in Portugal, using the instruments: Geriatric Depression
Scale (GDS-15) and the Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey ( SF-36). In
both countries, the project was approved by the respective Research Ethics
Committees. The treatment and tabulation of data in tables was performed using
Microsoft® Excel 2016 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version
20.0. The study resulted in the article submitted to the journal “Plos One”. It was
observed that there was an association of socioeconomic factors with the SF-36 and
the GDS-15, demonstrating, in both countries, that the highest QoL percentiles are
associated with the absence of depression and that, with the increase in depressive
symptoms, QoL was reduced, with a predominance of females and individuals aged
between 65 and 80 years. However, Portugal had better QoL scores compared to
Brazil. This suggests that there are other studies permeated by interventions or
analyzes focusing on strategies aimed at these aspects and at promoting health for
this target audience, reducing clinical complications. |
