Lazer e qualidade de vida: considerações frente ao processo de envelhecimento / Leisure and quality of life: considerations about the aging process

Objetivos: Avaliar a correlação entre lazer e qualidade de vida e investigar diferenças entre idosos e adultos com idade entre 50 e 59 anos.Métodos: Foram incluídos no estudo sujeitos de ambos os gêneros, frequentadores de um centro de convivência para idosos de um municípiodo interior do estado de São Paulo. Foram utilizados os instrumentos Word Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref (WHOQOLBref),versão em português, e a Escala de Avaliação do Lazer (EAVLA). Para verificar a correlação entre os fatores do lazer e domínios daqualidade de vida e diferenças de média entre grupos de diferentes idades, foram utilizadas correlação de Pearson e teste t de Student. Paraanalisar a influência do lazer na qualidade de vida foi aplicado um modelo de equações estruturais.Resultados: Participaram 106 sujeitos, divididos em Grupo 1 (50-59 anos) e Grupo 2 (60-82 anos). Na correlação entre lazer em geral equalidade de vida, o coeficiente de Pearson correspondeu a 0,32 no domínio relações sociais (correlação positiva moderada), 0,28 no do meioambiente e 0,20 no global (correlações positivas fracas). Por meio do modelo de equações estruturais, o lazer explicou 10% da qualidade devida. Não houve diferença na qualidade de vida entre os dois grupos. Nas atividades de lazer socioculturais, o Grupo 1 apresentou média de88,52±15,58, enquanto o Grupo 2 obteve 96,41±13,37 (p=0,009).Conclusões: As atividades socioculturais obtiveram maior pontuação no grupo com até 59 anos. Em que pese a baixa ou moderada correlaçãoentre os construtos, este estudo confirmou que o lazer foi um componente relevante na qualidade de vida de pessoas com idade entre 50 e 82anos e sugere aprofundar os estudos com essa população, visando verificar com maior precisão a contribuição mútua entre estes construtos eo manejo de variáveis em processos de intervenção.

Aims: To evaluate the correlation between leisure and quality of life and to investigate differences between elderly and adults aged between 50 and 59 years.Methods: The study included subjects of both genders, attendees of a community center for the elderly in a municipality in the state of São Paulo. The instruments Word Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref (WHOQOL-Bref) in its Portuguese version and Leisure Assessment Scale (EAVLA) were used. To verify the correlation between leisure factors and domains of quality of life, as well as differences between the groups with more and less than 60 years old, Pearson correlation and Student t test were used. To analyze the influence of leisure on the quality of life, a model of structural equations was applied.Results: The study included 106 subjects, divided into Group 1 (50-59 years) and Group 2 (60-82 years). Considering correlation between general leisure and quality of life, the Pearson coefficient corresponded to 0.32 in the social relationships domain (moderate positive correlation), to 0.28 in the environmental domain and to 0.20 in the global quality of life (weak positive correlations). By means of the structural equation model, leisure corresponded to 10% of quality of life. There was no difference in quality of life between the two groups. In the socio-cultural leisure activities, the Group 1 had an average of 88.52±15.58, while Group 2 had 96.41±13.37 (p=0.009).Conclusions: Sociocultural activities scored higher in the group aged up to 59 years. Despite the low or moderate correlation between constructs, this study confirmed that leisure was an important component in the quality of life of people aged between 50 and 82 years and suggests further studies with this population, in order to ascertain more precisely the mutual assistance between these constructs and the handling of variables in intervention processes.

Depression, Family Support and Hopelessness: a Correlated Study / Depression, apoyo familiar y desesperanza: un estudio de correlación

This study aimed to verify the relationship between depression, hopelessness and family support. to this aim, were applied the Escala Baptista de Depressão-Adulto EBADEP- A, The Beck Hopelessness Scale -BHS, Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar- IPSF and a sociodemographic questionnaire on a sample of 198 undergraduate of Pharmacy and Psychology courses of a particular university at São Paulo state (Brazil) with mean age of 23.44 years (SD = 6.8), and with a prevalence of women (80.7%). Results showed significant and positive correlations between EBADEP- A and BHS and significant and negative correlations between EBADEP- A/ BHS and IPSF, indicating that the higher perception of family support the fewer depressive symptoms and hopelessness, agreeing with literature.

El presente estudio buscó verificar la asociación de la depresión, desesperanza y el apoyo familiar. Con este fin, se aplicó la Escala Baptista de Depressão-versión para adultos- EBADEP- A, Escala de Desesperanza de Beck, BHS, el Inventario de Percepção de Suporte Familiar - IPSF y un cuestionario socio-demográfico en una muestra de 198 estudiantes de Farmacia y Psicología en una universidad privada en el Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), con el promedio de edad de 23.44 años (DE= 6.8) y de las mujeres (80.7 %). Los resultados indicaron una correlación positiva y significativa entre BHS y EBADEP- A y negativa y significativa entre EBADEP- A y BHS con IPSF, lo que sugiere que cuanto mayor es la percepción del apoyo familiar, menos síntomas depresivos y la desesperanza, que muestram que los resultados son consistentes con la literatura.

Percepción del apoyo familiar en los consumidores de drogas y su relación con trastornos psiquiátricos / Perception of family support in dependents of alcohol and others drugs: relationship with mental disorders

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la percepción del apoyo familiar, los síntomas depresivos, ansiedad y desesperanza en las personas dependientes de alcohol o drogas (AOD). Participaron de este estudio 97 pacientes en tratamiento, de edades comprendidas entre 18 y 58 años, de ambos sexos de seis instituciones privadas para el tratamiento de la drogodependencia, ubicado en Santos - SP / Brasil. Los participantes respondieron al Inventario de Percepción de Apoyo a la Familia, IPSF, el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-BDI, el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck, BAI, Escala de Desesperanza - Beck y criterios para el abuso o dependencia de sustancias en el DSM-IV TR. Los resultados indican la existencia de correlaciones negativas entre el apoyo familiar percibido y los niveles de depresión, ansiedad y desesperanza. En la muestra estudiada, el apoyo familiar resultó ser un factor como una variable condicionada por los niveles de ansiedad y depresión. Estos resultados indican que la percepción del apoyo familiar puede ser un importante apoyo social para el paciente con AOD (AU)
