Abstract(s)
Atualmente observa-se que à pessoa idosa estão associadas imagens de cariz positivo e negativo, existindo um impacto das imagens nos cuidados de saúde e na interação dos profissionais de saúde para com este grupo. O objetivo deste estudo é conhecer as imagens que os estudantes de medicina da Universidade da Beira Interior apresentam do envelhecimento. Foi utilizada a escala Images (Sousa, Cerqueira & Galante, 2008), para se avaliarem as imagens e um questionário sociodemográfico onde se incluiu a avaliação do contacto intergeracional. Participaram neste estudo 289 estudantes de medicina da Universidade da Beira Interior com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 34 anos observando-se uma média de idades de 21 anos (DP= 2, 80). Dos alunos inquiridos 149 (51,5%) eram do 1º ano, 95 (32,9%) do 3º ano e 45 (15,6%) do 6º ano.
Os resultados deste estudo indicam que, relativamente ao fator Dependência, Tristeza e Antiquado são os alunos do 1º (M= 37,01; DP= 6,74) e 3º ano (M= 37,02; DP = 6,29) que pontuam mais alto, sendo estas diferenças estatisticamente significativas [F(2;286)= 9,885; p= 0,000)]. No fator relativo às imagens de Maturidade, Atividade e Afetividade, são os alunos do 6º ano que apresentam uma média mais alta (M= 20,93; DP= 4,19), no entanto, estas diferenças não são estatisticamente significativas [F(2;286)=0,348; p=0,706]. Por outro lado, observa-se que os estudantes do género masculino apresentam uma média mais elevada (M= 37, 83; DP= 7,36) na dimensão Dependência, Tristeza e Antiquado, com diferenças estatisticamente significativas [t(287)=2,667; p= 0,008]. Observa-se o mesmo no fator Incompetência Relacional e Cognitiva onde a média mais elevada é do género masculino (M= 15,81; DP= 4,26) com diferenças estatisticamente significativas [t(287)=3,277;p= 0,001]. Contrariamente são os estudantes do sexo feminino que apresentam uma média mais alta (M= 20,79; DP= 3,04) na dimensão Maturidade, Atividade e Afetividade mas sem diferenças estatisticamente significativa [t(287)= -1,614; p= 0,108]. Focando ainda a correlação entre as imagens existentes e a variável frequência da relação com pessoas da família saudáveis, observa-se uma correlação forte negativa mas não estatisticamente significativa (r=-0,89; p=0,133) entre a frequência desta relação e as imagens do fator Dependência, Tristeza e Antiquado; uma correlação fraca negativa sem diferenças estatisticamente significativas (r=-0,15; p=0,011) no fator Incompetência Relacional e Cognitiva e, uma correlação fraca positiva, estatisticamente significativa (r = 0,15; p =0,010) no fator Maturidade, Atividade e Afetividade. Dado o impacto das imagens do envelhecimento na qualidade dos serviços de saúde, o estudo desta temática é fundamental para se promover um desenvolvimento na forma de se olhar esta fase do ciclo vital.
Currently it appears that the elderly person is associated with positive and negative images with an impact of images in healthcare and in the interaction of health professionals towards this group. The aim of this study is to know the images that the medical students of the 1st, 3rd and 6th year at the University of Beira Interior have about aging. The Images scale (Sousa, Cerqueira & Galante, 2008) was used to evaluate the images and a demographic questionnaire which included the assessment of intergenerational contact. Participated in this study 289 students of medicine at the University of Beira Interior, aged between 18 and 34 years and an mean age of 21 years (DP= 2, 80). Of respondents, 149(51,5) of the 1st year, 95 (32,9) 3rd year and 45 (15,6) of the 6th year. As results can be noted that with respect to the dimension Dependency, Sadness and Old Fashioned are the 1st (M= 37,01; DP= 6,74) and 3rd year (M= 37,02; DP = 6,29) who score highest with statistically significant differences [F(2;286)= 9,885; p= 0,000)]. In the factor that portrays images relating to Maturity, Activity and Affection are students of the 6th year that present the highest mean (M= 20,93; DP= 4,19), not being demonstrated, however, statistically significant differences. On the other hand, it appears that male students have higher mean (M= 37, 83; DP= 7,36) in the dimension Dependency, Sadness and Old Fashioned [t(287)=2,667; p= 0,008]. There is the same in Relational and Cognitive Incompetence, where the higher mean appears that male students (M= 15,81; DP= 4,26) with statistically significant differences [t(287)=3,277;p= 0,001]. In contrast to female students who present a higher mean (M= 20,79; DP= 3,04) in dimension of Maturity, Activity and Affection but without statistically significant differences [t(287)= -1,614; p= 0,108]. Focusing the correlation between the images and the variable frequency of the relation with healthy people of family, there is a strong negative correlation but not statistically significant (r=-0,89; p=0,133) in Dependency, Sadness and Old Fashioned factor, a weak negative correlation with statistically significant differences in relational and cognitive incompetence factor (r=-0,15; p=0,011) and a weak positive correlation, statistically significant (r 0.15; p 0.010) on the Maturity, Activity and Affectivity factor (r = 0,15; p =0,010). Seen the images of aging are reflected in the quality of health services, the study of this issue is crucial to promote development in the way of looking the aging.
