Resumo: With aging increases the likelihood of falling, and its occurrence considered as a serious public health problem. The aim of this study was to profile of elderly patients in a geriatric unit of the Federal District who have suffered falls. Methodology: A retrospective and qualitative study of care of the older chips that crashed in a geriatric unit of the Federal District. Data on the environment were raised where they reside, diseases, barriers and more. Results: The occurrence of this event is due to several factors: living alone, low education and low income, female, use of multiple medications, impaired vision and hearing, insecurity to walk and uneven sidewalks. Among the factors related to domestic environment should be highlighted as risk places the bathroom and the bedroom, in addition to floors with ceramics. Conclusion: The incidence of falls can be minimized by environmental adaptation of the elderly at home, preventive measures by the government to external and public areas, and training of professionals in health care about aging.

O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi traçar o perfil de idosos atendidos em uma unidade geriátrica do Distrito Federal que sofreram quedas. Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo e qualitativo de fichas de atendimento desses idosos, tendo sido levantados dados quanto ao ambiente onde residem, seus agravos, barreiras, entre outros. Verificou-se que a ocorrência desse evento deve-se a vários fatores: morar sozinho, ser do sexo feminino, fazer uso de várias medicações, ter baixa escolaridade, baixa renda, problemas de visão e de audição, insegurança para caminhar e calçadas desniveladas. Dentre os fatores relacionados ao ambiente doméstico, merecem destaque, como lugares de risco, o banheiro e o quarto, além de pisos com cerâmica. A incidência de queda pode ser minimizada pela adaptação ambiental no domicílio desses idosos, medidas preventivas por parte do poder público para áreas externas e públicas, e capacitação de profissionais na área da saúde acerca do envelhecimento.  Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2015-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/2389010.23925/2176-901X.2015v18i1p93-107Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 18 n. 1 (2015); 93-1072176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/23890/17135Cavalcante, Daynne P.M.Silva, Lúcia de Jesus daMatos, NeuzaBorges, IzabelAraújo, Danielle PedrosaPinheiro, Hudson Azevedoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-13T18:58:24Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23890Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-12-13T18:58:24Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
