Resumo: | AIMS: To analize the correlation between quality of life, locus of control and socio-demographic data in community resident elderly. METHODS: A cross-sectional, quantitative study was performed. The sample was constituted by 113 senior citizens with ages ranging from 60 to 98 years. The instruments used were a Socio-demographic Data Form, a Locus of Control Scale and a Short Quality of Life Evaluation (WHOQOL-Bref). For statistical analysis we used the Pearson correlation coefficient, the Student t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results with p values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: There was moderate positive correlation between the number of leisure activities and psychological domain of quality of life (r=0.320, p=0.001) and environment domain of quality of life (r=0.320, p=0.001). The results also indicated weak positive correlation between the physical domain of quality of life and locus of internality (r=0.220, p=0.019), years of education (r=0.206, p=0.029) and number of leisure activities (r=0.282, p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: A correlation between the types of locus of control and quality of life in the elderly was demonstrated. In general, older people who had internal locus of control and also those who possessed a more active life showed a higher quality of life. |

MÉTODOS: este estudo teve um delineamento quantitativo e transversal. A amostra foi composta por 113 idosos, com idades entre 60 e 98 anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: ficha de dados sociodemográficos, Escala de Lócus de Controle da Saúde e Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida Abreviada (WHOQOL-Bref). Para a análise estatística utilizamos o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson, o teste t de Student e a Análise de Variância (ANOVA). Os resultados com valores de p menores que 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significativos. RESULTADOS: verificou-se correlação positiva moderada entre número de atividades de lazer e domínio psicológico da qualidade de vida (r=0,320; p=0,001), assim como entre número de atividades de lazer e domínio meio ambiente da qualidade de vida (r=0,320; p=0,001). Os resultados apontaram ainda para correlação fracamente positiva entre domínio físico da qualidade de vida e lócus de internalidade (r=0,220; p=0,019), anos de escolaridade (r=0,206; p=0,029) e número de atividades de lazer (r=0,282; p=0,002). CONCLUSÕES: o lócus de controle da saúde mostrou correlação com a qualidade de vida no idoso. De um modo geral, os idosos que apresentaram lócus de controle interno e também os que possuíam uma vida mais ativa evidenciaram maior qualidade de vida.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2011-05-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/8317Scientia Medica; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2011); 9-13Scientia Medica; v. 21 n. 1 (2011); 9-131980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
