Bakgrund: Den äldre befolkningen ökar i samhället och inom gruppen beskrivs även äldre mulitsjuka personer med omfattande vårdbehov som många gånger innebär en flytt till ett vård- och omsorgsboende. Inom vård- och omsorgsboende för äldre ska omvårdnadsbehovet tillgodoses utifrån den enskilda individens behov samt även medföra livskvalitet för äldre personer. Upplevelse av livskvalitet är individuell men påverkas av exempelvis fysisk och psykisk hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva vad som har betydelse för livskvalitet för äldre personer som bor på vård- och omsorgsboende samt att beskriva undersökningsgrupperna i studierna. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie med en sammanställning av 13 vetenskapliga artiklar som beskriver studier med kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats. Systematiska litteratursökningar gjordes i databaserna Cinahl och PubMed. Resultat: Livskvalitet för äldre personer som bor på vård- och omsorgsboenden beskrevs inverkas av många olika delar. Tillexempel inverkade relationer till familj och vänner, meningsfulla aktiviteter att göra samt relationen till omvårdnadspersonalen. Miljön och boendet i sig sågs också inverka på livskvaliteten. Slutsats: Livskvalitet för de äldre på vård- och omsorgsboenden är ett komplext system där många delar spelar stor roll och vilka dessa delar är avgörs personligen av individen själv. Upplevelser och beskrivningar av sociala relationer, fysiska aktiviteter, individanpassning, god hälsa och en trygg miljö är att alla dessa delar är betydande för äldres livskvalitet på vård- och omsorgsboenden. Att lyssna till den äldre personen och ta hänsyn till dennes beskrivning och individuella önskemål är en stor del för att förbättra arbetet kring livskvalitet. / Background: The elderly population is increasing in society and within this group there are older people described with extensive care and nursing needs that often mean moving to a nursing home. The individual’s needs for care and nursing should be met within these nursing homes, and it should also bring quality of life for the elder. Perceived quality of life is individual but influenced by, for example, physical and mental health. Purpose: The purpose with this literature review was to describe what is of importance for quality of life for the elderly living in nursing homes and to describe the samples in the studies. Method: Descriptive literature review with a compilation of 13 scientific articles that describe studies of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Systematic literature search were made in the Cinahl and PubMed databases. Results: Quality of life of elderly people living in nursing homes were described being affected by many different parts. Relationships with family and friends, meaningful activities to do, the relationship to nursing staff as well as the environment and the accommodation were all instances that had an impact on quality of life. Conclusion: Quality of life for the elderly living in nursing homes is a complex system where many parts play a major role and which these parts are, is determined by the individual. Experience and descriptions of social relationships, physical activities, personalization, good health and a safe environment are that all these parts are to be included and are significant for their quality of life in nursing homes. Listening to the elder person and to take into account his or her description and individual preferences is an important part of improving the work on quality of life.

L’objectif de cette recherche a été de montrer comment l’impensé institutionnel de la maltraitance dérive d’une modalité spécifique du pacte dénégatif nommée pacte de désaveu, mettant en échec la déontologie et précipitant ainsi les sujets de l’institution dans une mise en acte répétitive du phénomène.Notre thèse s’articula autour de deux axes majeurs : un axe central autour du désaveu et un axe transversal centré sur la répétition. Celle-ci envisagée comme le corrélat du désaveu. L’examen de l’action de cet opérateur, à travers l’inquiétante étrangeté et la construction métaphoro-métonymique du Double, a permis de démontrer l’existence d’un pacte de désaveu, et l’enjeu de son utilisation lorsque son objet est la maltraitance dans une institution gériatrique : dissimuler l’existence de la maltraitance ; écarter la responsabilité de l’acte ; couvrir la participation des soignants à la maltraitance institutionnelle.L’existence d’un double désaveu a pu être mise en évidence : un désaveu de la parole du résident lié par circularité à un désaveu de l’acte de maltraitance. Ces deux désaveux se sont révélés comme secondaires, dans le sens de témoins d’un désaveu originel : le désaveu de la loi. Ce désaveu originel se basant sur une réalité fondamentale : la perte d’autonomie pouvant aller jusqu’à la grande dépendance.Ce premier axe de notre thèse a conduit nécessairement à prendre en compte un champ supplémentaire : la déontologie professionnelle en évaluant les effets et conséquences de ce désaveu dont nous avons fait mention. L’examen de la déontologie a conduit à formuler l’hypothèse d’une mise en échec de celle-ci, corrélée à cette opération de désaveu. Le second axe de recherche, transversal quand à notre problématique et dont le phénomène de répétition de l’acte de maltraitance constitue le corrélat, a permis de mettre en évidence avec quelle force contraignante, l’institution précipite ses sujets dans la répétition sous l’action du désaveu qui, en entravant la construction du souvenir, entraîne une impossible mise au passé de la maltraitance. / The objective of this research was to show how the institutional’s unthought of elder abuse derives from a specific modality of the pact of denial called pact of disavowal, by defeating ethics and precipitating the subjects of the institution in a formal act repetitive phenomenon.Our argument revolved around two major themes: around a central axis on disavowal and a transverse axis centered on repetition. It considered as the correlate of the disavowal.Examination of the action of this operator through the uncanny and the construction of metonymic-metaphorical of Double, has shown the existence of a pact of disavowal, and the issue of its use when the object is abuse in a geriatric institution: conceal the existence of abuse; exclude liability of the act; cover the participation of caregivers in institutional abuse.The existence of a double disavowal could be highlighted: a denial of the word of resident bound by circularity to a disavowal of the act of abuse. Both disavowals proved to be secondary in the sense of witnessing a repudiation original: the disavowal of the law. The original disavowal based on a fundamental reality: the loss of autonomy up to the high dependency.The first axis of our thesis necessarily leads to consider an additional field: professional ethics in evaluating the effects and consequences of this disavowal we mentioned. The Ethics Review has led to the hypothesis of a hit of this, correlated with the operation of disavowal.The second line of research cross with our problem and that the phenomenon of repetition of the act of abuse is the correlate, helped highlight how binding the institution rushes his subjects in the repetition in the action of disavowal which inhibited the construction of memory, resulting in not putting elder abuse in the past.

Trata-se de um estudo ecológico longitudinal misto onde foram utilizados dados secundários do SIM e estimativas da população idosa, por sexo e idade, do IBGE. Os óbitos foram estratificados por ano, mês, sexo, faixa etária, região e capitais agregadas por região, para construção das taxas de mortalidade, posteriormente ajustadas por sexo e/ou idade com a técnica de padronização pelo método direto (população padrão: Brasil - Censo 2000). Para análise do comportamento da mortalidade segundo introdução da campanha de vacinação nos diferentes grupos de idade, foi utilizada a regressão linear ajustando pela tendência histórica e sazonalidade da mortalidade no período de estudo. Observou-se tendência crescente nas taxas de mortalidade pelas causas selecionadas com o aumento da idade da população de estudo. Alem disso, valores mais elevados desses indicadores também foram observados entre os homens e entre os residentes das regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro Oeste. Identificou-se redução estatisticamente significativa das taxas de mortalidade para todas as faixas etárias no período posterior à introdução das campanhas de vacinação contra a influenza, ainda que controlando a tendência histórica e a sazonalidade das causas de morte estudadas. Os resultados confirmam a importante magnitude das taxas de mortalidade por doenças respiratórias relacionadas à influenza em pessoas idosas no Brasil e qualifica o debate sobre os benefícios da vacinação. Além disso, esse estudo reforça a necessidade de pesquisas que visam avançar nas explicações desses achados. / Salvador

Com o conhecimento das implicações biológicas, psicológicas e sociais do envelhecimento, a sociedade pode melhorar as condições de saúde, lazer, cultura e educação das pessoas, além de, ao favorecer o contato intergeracional, diminuir o preconceito ao idoso permitindo que os conhecimentos da tradição cultural sejam aprendidos e multiplicados pelos jovens. Este estudo se propôs investigar se as Universidades Abertas à Terceira Idade poderiam funcionar como uma rede de apoio afetivo e social para seus alunos. Através de dois instrumentos para medir atitudes, avaliaram-se as redes que funcionariam como suporte afetivo e social. Como rede afetiva, os alunos escolheram os filhos, marido e netos e por extensão, os cunhados e irmãos. Em situações difíceis, a oração e a fé forneciam apoios importantes. Entes queridos falecidos também foram lembranças que confortavam. Como rede social, médicos, vizinhos, serviçais, amigos conquistados na UNATI, professores, monitores e a coordenação foram referidos como suportes importantes em suas vidas. Conclui-se que as UNATIS foram consideradas pela população estudada, como importantes redes de apoio social. / The longevity of human specie has been worldwide researched with different objectives. With the knowledge about the biological, psychological and sociological implications of aging, society could look up for the people health, leisure, culture and education conditions, and while improving the intergeneration contact, decrease prejudice against the elder, allowing the knowledge about the cultural tradition to be learned and multiplied by the youth. This study proposed to investigate if the Universities for the Elderly (UNATI) could work as an emotional and social support network for its students. It was evaluated, by two instruments that measure attitudes, the networks that could work as emotional and social supports. Students chose kids, husband and grandchildren as the emotional support network, and for extension, brothers-in-law and brothers. In difficult situations, prayer and faith were important supports. Deceased dear relatives were supporting memories, too. As the social network, doctors, neighbors, employees, friends from UNATI and its professors, monitors and co-ordination, were referred to be important supports in their lives. The conclusion of this research was that UNATIs were considered an important social support network.
