Resumo: | Social capital, people´s interaction capacity, is a good parameter to measure life quality in groups, elderly people included. Current analysis evaluates the social capital of elderly people at the outpatient clinic of the UNIRG University Centre in Gurupi TO Brazil. A descriptive and quantitative research was undertaken with data collection on 217 elderly people to whom a standard questionnaire was applied to assess the sample´s social capital. Most of the elderly people (65.90%) belonged to the 60 -70-year-old bracket; 61.80% were female; 95.10% belonged to social classes C and D; 31.30% were illiterate; 42.40% were hypertensive; 26.27% had spine conditions; 23.04% were diabetics. Evaluated social capital of the elderly showed that 50.23% participated in groups which undertook social activities and interaction; 86.20% thought that one should be suspicious of everybody; 58.50% answered that most probably they would involve themselves in community issues to solve or help resolve them; 92.60% stated that TV was their source of information on the government; 79.72% said they voted in the last political election; 45.16% confessed they were very happy people. Results show that the population under analysis had poor life quality levels and low social capital. No government-promoted programs or activities exist for the establishment of social networks for the increase in local social capital. |

Este estudo se propõe a avaliar o capital social dos idosos atendidos no ambulatório do Centro Universitário UNIRG de Gurupi, Tocantins. Realizou-se uma pesquisa do tipo descritiva, o delineamento de levantamento de dados e com abordagem quantitativa usando como ferramenta questionário com 217 idosos aos quais foi aplicado um questionário padronizado para mensurar o capital da amostra. A maior parte dos idosos pesquisados (65,90%) estava inserida na faixa etária entre 60 e 70 anos, 61,80% eram do sexo feminino, 95,10% pertenciam às classes sociais C e D, 31,30% eram analfabetos, 42,40% apresentavam hipertensão, 26,27% problemas na coluna e 23,04% diabetes. Quanto aos parâmetros utilizados para identificar o capital social dos idosos foi observado que 50,23% participam de algum grupo para a realização de atividades e interação social, 86,20% acham que nunca é demais ter cuidado com as pessoas (desconfiar), 58,50% responderam que é muito provável que se envolvam em problemas da comunidade com o propósito de resolver ou ajudar a resolvê-lo, 92,60% afirmaram que utilizam como fonte de informação mais importante a respeito do que o governo está fazendo a televisão, 79,72% dos idosos afirmaram ter votado nas últimas eleições e 45,16% afirmaram serem pessoas muito felizes. Foi possível verificar que, para a população em estudo, os níveis de qualidade de vida e capital social são muito baixos e que não existem programas ou ações efetivas de caráter governamental para a criação de redes sociais para aumentar o capital social local.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2013-02-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por ParesPesquisa de Campoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/2482Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 6 No 1 (2013): jan./abr.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 6 n. 1 (2013): jan./abr.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/2482/1844Gontijo, Érica Eugênio LourençoGontijo, MarcosLourenço, Ana Flavia EugênioInocente, Nancy Julietainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-09-04T15:19:40Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2482Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2020-09-04T15:19:40Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |
