Resumo:
O objetivo deste estudo é descrever o perfil socioeconômico, epidemiológico e farmacoterapêutico de 154 idosos de cinco Instituições de Longa Permanência de Brasília por meio de questionário adaptado do Método Dáder e complementado com informações dos prontuários. A amostra é caracterizada por indivíduos solteiros e viúvos, em sua maioria homens, com idade média de 74,6 anos, sedentários, com estado cognitivo preservado, baixa renda mensal e baixo nível de escolaridade. O grupo consome de quatro a cinco medicamentos e é acometido principalmente, por distúrbios psiquiátricos e cardiovasculares. Os medicamentos mais utilizados são os cardiovasculares e os psicofármacos. A adesão à farmacoterapia é comprometida pela falta de conhecimento sobre a prescrição médica atual, dificuldade de acesso e recusa em tomar os medicamentos prescritos. Resultados sugerem que tal perfil influencia a qualidade e eficácia da terapêutica medicamentosa indicando a necessidade de implementação de um acompanhamento farmacoterapeutico a esses idosos bem como de políticas públicas de saúde mais focadas nas particularidades dessa população a fim de proporcionar melhoria da qualidade de vida e redução dos custos com assistência à saúde.
