Resumo:
Devido à alta prevalência do uso de cadeira de rodas por idosos institucionalizados, objetivou-se verificar se os fatores sexo, idade, escolaridade, tempo de admissão, comorbidades, cognição e funcionalidade estão associados ao uso deste dispositivo, como também averiguar os motivos que podem levar a essa utilização segundo a percepção dos idosos. Estudo transversal e descritivo, incluídos 55 idosos subdivididos em G1 (locomoção sem auxílio) e G2 (cadeirantes). Análise do perfil através dos prontuários, cognição e funcionalidade pelo Mini-Exame do Estado Mental e Índice de Barthel. Cadeirantes questionados sobre os fatores que levam à utilização da cadeira de rodas, motivos foram registrados. 33(60,0%) idosos no G1 e 22(40,0%) no G2. Houve diferença entre os grupos em relação à funcionalidade (p=0,005). O idoso que não tem acidente vascular encefálico tem menor chance de utilizar cadeira de rodas (OR:0,09; IC95%:0,02-0,36). Idosos cadeirantes relataram: medo de cair, dor, cansaço, fraqueza nas pernas, dificuldades de caminhar e falta de auxílio na deambulação. O acidente vascular encefálico e a funcionalidade estão associados ao uso de cadeira de rodas. O conhecimento destes fatores e dos motivos relatados pelos idosos pode permitir que alternativas de prevenção sejam traçadas.

Cross-sectional descriptive study included 55 aged subdivided into G1 (locomotion without aid) and G2 (wheelchair users). Profile analysis through records, cognition and functionality by the Mini-Mental State Examination and Barthel index. Wheel Chair asked about the factors that lead to the use of the wheelchair, reasons were recorded. 33 (60.0%) aged in G1 and 22 (40.0%) in G2. There were differences between the groups with respect to functionality (p = 0.005). The aged that has no stroke is less likely to use a wheelchair (OR: 0.09; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.36). Aged wheelchair users reported: fear of falling, pain, tiredness, weakness in the legs, difficulty walking and lack of assistance in ambulation.
