Abstract:

: The interest in quality of life of people with mental disorders living in therapeutic residences is an important indicator for the evaluation of health therapeutic intervention. Physical activity can contribute to a good quality of life. We evaluate the quality of life and physical activity levels of assisted living facilities residentsthe Porto Alegre metropolitan area. It´s a case series study (n=68) using SF -36, EuroQol and IPAQ questionnaires and the social demographic issues. The SF-36 results showed that the domain general health was the lowest (57.47±14.27). The highest scores were found for social (77.39 ± 20.21) and physical (77.57 ± 39.71) aspects. At least one problem (mild or extreme) in one dimension was evident among 82% of the residents by EuroQol. The physical activity levels show that most of participants are insufficiently active (48.5%) and 14.7% are sedentary. The domains of pain and mobility suggest that the residents are not being encouraged enough to physical activity practices. Knowing residents´ perception is critical to establish effective public policies.
