0423/2018 - Perfis de integração social entre idosos institucionalizados não frágeis no município de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Social integration profiles among institutionalized non-frail elderly individuals in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte.
O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar idosos não frágeis em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI) em Natal, enfatizando a integração social em instituições filantrópicas e privadas. Os dados foram de pesquisa realizada em 2012. O instrumento utilizado foi o Brazil Old Age Schedule (BOAS). Realizou-se análise descritiva e posteriormente, foram estimados perfis sociodemográficos e de saúde dos idosos a partir do método Grade of Membership (GoM) que permitiu identificar tipologias de integração social. Os achados indicaram que dos 68 idosos elegíveis, 63,2% era do sexo feminino e 51,5% tinha 80 anos ou mais; 43% reportaram saúde ruim ou péssima. O método GoM caracterizou 3 perfis: um com maior presença de homens sociáveis/integrados, residentes em ILPI filantrópicas (22% dos idosos); outro, de mulheres isoladas em ILPI filantrópicas com condições vulneráveis de saúde e depressão (34,9%); um terceiro, de idosos sociáveis/integrados em ILPI particulares com boas condições de saúde, mas com fragilidade funcional e mais velhos (34,9%). O tema do estudo é relevante pois a institucionalização deveria manter ou até mesmo estimular a integridade e independência do idoso em todos os aspectos da vida social dentro e fora da instituição.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to characterize the non-frail elderly in Long-term care institutions (LTC) in Natal, emphasizing social integration and stratification in philanthropic and private institutions in 2012. The instrument used was Brazil Old Age Schedule (BOAS). Descriptive analysis was carried out and sociodemographic and health profiles of the aged persons were estimated by using the Grade of Membership (GoM) model, which allowed obtaining typologies of social integration. The results indicated that 68 elderly were eligible; 63.2% were female, and 51.5% were 80 years or older; 43% reported poor or very poor health. The application of the GoM method yielded three profiles. The first one is characterized by elderly with higher presence of sociable/integrated men living in philanthropic LTC (22% of the elderly). The second profile mainly encompasses women in philanthropic institutions, with vulnerable health conditions and depression (34.9%). Finally, a third profile is the one with higher levels of integration/sociability in private LTC but also characterized by older elderly persons with functional disability (34.9%). This study is important since integration and socialization must be a part of the elderly life irrespectively of the place they live.
