Abstract
OBJETIVO: Evaluar la utilización de servicios de salud entre ancianos portadores de enfermedades crónicas. MÉTODOS:Estudio transversal realizado con 2.889 individuos con edad a partir de 65 años, portadores de condiciones crónicas - hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus y enfermedad mental -, residentes en áreas que abarcan unidades básicas de salud en 41 municipios de las regiones Sur y Noreste de Brasil en 2005. Los datos analizados fueron obtenidos del estudio en línea de base del Programa de Expansión y Consolidación de la salud de la Familia. Las variables estudiadas fueron sexo, edad, color de la piel, situación conyugal, escolaridad, renta familiar, tabaquismo, incapacidad funcional y modelo de atención de la unidad básica de salud. El análisis ajustado de los hechos fue realizado con regresión de Poisson. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de consulta médica en los últimos seis meses fue de 45% en el Sur y de 46% en el Noreste. La prevalencia de participación en grupos de actividades educativas en el último año fue de 16% en la región Sur y de 22% en la región Noreste. En las dos regiones, el uso de los servicios fue mayor por ancianos con edad inferior a 80 años, baja escolaridad y residentes en áreas que abarcan unidades básicas de salud con Programa Salud de la Familia. Apenas en la región Sur los ancianos con incapacidad funcional presentaron mayor prevalencia de consultas médicas. CONCLUSIONES: Las prevalencias de consulta médica y de participación en grupos de actividades educativas fueron bajas, al compararlas con estudios anteriores realizados con ancianos en Brasil. Los resultados indican que, a pesar de que el Programa Salud de la Familia promueve mayor uso de servicios de las unidades básicas de salud por los ancianos portadores de condiciones crónicas, hay necesidad de ampliar el acceso a aquellos con más de 80 años y de los portadores de incapacidad funcional.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the use of healthcare services by elderly individuals suffering from chronic diseases. METHODS:Cross-sectional study carried out with 2,889 individuals aged 65 years or more with chronic conditions - arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and mental illness -, living in catchment areas of primary care units in 41 cities of the South and Northeast regions of Brazil in 2005. The analyzed data were obtained in the baseline study of Programa de Expansão e Consolidação da Saúde da Família (Program for the Expansion and Consolidation of Family Health). The studied variables were sex, age, skin color, marital status, level of schooling, family income, smoking, functional disability, and care model of the primary care unit. The adjusted analysis of outcomes was performed by means of Poisson regression. RESULTS: The prevalence of medical visit in the last six months was 45% in the South region and 46% in the Northeast region. The prevalence of participation in groups of educational activities in the last year was 16% in the South and 22% in the Northeast. In both regions, use of services was higher for elderly people under the age of 80 years, with low level of schooling and living in catchment areas of primary care units with Programa Saúde da Família (Family Health Program). Only in the South region did the elderly with functional disability have higher prevalence of medical visits. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of medical visit and participation in groups of educational activities was low when compared to previous studies conducted with elderly individuals in Brazil. The results indicate that, although the Family Health Program promotes greater use of services at primary care units by elderly people with chronic conditions, it is necessary to expand the access of those aged over 80 and of individuals with functional disability.
