Resumo: | Due to the population aging, diabetes mellitus gains a new dimension, since the prevalence is high among the elderly. Comorbidities and polypharmacy are very common in this age group, so the consequences of diabetes mellitus in the elderly may be more severe than in the young. Therefore, this study aimed to: 1) investigate the knowledge of elderly diabetics in relation to diabetes mellitus and 2) identify the motivations of older people to self-care in relation to diabetes mellitus. Twenty persons participated, men and women, aged from 60 years living in the neighborhood of Ermelino Matarazzo, in the east of the city of São Paulo who participated in the “Rede Fibra”, a brazilian study about the profile of fragility elderly who were auto-declared diabetics.The interviews were analyzed qualitatively according to the Social Phenomenology of Alfred Schütz. The main factor of motivation to their self-care was the knowledge of complications of the disease that they learned from their relatives and friends. Among the "reasons for" performing self-care, there is the expectation of living well, without the complications of the disease. From this information, one can develop intervention strategies appropriated to this social group. |

Como a presença de comorbidades e da polifarmácia é comum, nessa faixa etária, as consequências do Diabetes mellitus nos idosos que podem ser mais severas que nos jovens. Portanto, este estudo teve como objetivos: 1) investigar o conhecimento dos idosos diabéticos em relação ao Diabetes mellitus e 2) identificar as motivações dos idosos no autocuidado em relação ao Diabetes mellitus. Fizeram parte da pesquisa vinte pessoas de ambos os sexos, com idades a partir dos 60 anos, residentes no bairro de Ermelino Matarazzo, na zona leste do município de São Paulo, que participaram da Rede Fibra “Perfis de fragilidade em idosos brasileiros” e que se declararam diabéticos. Os depoimentos foram analisados de forma qualitativa, segundo o referencial da Fenomenologia Social, de Alfred Schütz. O conhecimento das complicações da doença, muitas vezes por intermédio de familiares e amigos que as vivenciaram, constitui o principal “motivo por quê” eles realizam o autocuidado. Dentre os “motivos para” realizarem o autocuidado, destaca-se a expectativa de viver bem, sem as complicações da doença. A partir dessas informações, será possível elaborar estratégias de intervenções apropriadas a este grupo social.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/1731510.23925/2176-901X.2012v15iEspecial13p407-434Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 15 (2012): Número Especial 13 - Vulnerabilidade/Envelhecimento e Velhice: Aspectos Biopsicossociais; 407-4342176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/17315/12860Nagai, Paula AkemiChubaci, Rosa Yuka SatoNeri, Anita Liberalessoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-11-29T00:32:34Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/17315Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-11-29T00:32:34Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false |
