Resumo: | OBJECTIVES: To examine older people’s preferences for self-involvement in end-of-life care decision-making in scenarios of mental capacity (competency) and incapacity, and to identify associated factors. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted including 400 individuals aged 60+ years living in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. RESULTS: Among 400 respondents, 95.3% preferred self-involvement when capable (due to the high percentage, associated factors were not calculated) and 64.5% preferred self-involvement when incapable through, for example, a living will. Considering that participants could choose multiple answers, the most frequent combinations in the capacity scenario were “yourself” and “other relatives” (76.8%) and “yourself” and “the doctor” (67.8%). In the incapacity scenario, the most frequent combinations were “yourself” and “other relatives” (usually their “ children and, less often, their grandchildren) (59.3%) and “yourself” and “the doctor” (48.5%). Three factors were associated with a preference for self-involvement in an incapacity scenario. Those who were married or had a partner (widowed; adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.19-0.68) and those who were male (female; AOR = 0.62; 95%CI 0.38-1.00) were less likely to prefer self-involvement. Those who were younger, as in age bands 60-69 years (80+; AOR = 2.35; 95%CI 1.20-4.58) and 70-79 years (80+; AOR = 2.45; 95%CI 1.21-4.94), were more likely to prefer self-involvement. CONCLUSIONS: Most participants preferred self-involvement in both scenarios of capacity and incapacity. Preference for self-involvement was higher in the scenario of capacity, while preference for the involvement of other relatives (usually their children) was greater in the scenario of incapacity. |

METODOLOGIA: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, com 400 indivíduos, com idade 60 anos ou mais, residentes na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Brasil. RESULTADOS: Entre os 400 entrevistados, 95,3% preferiram o autoenvolvimento, quando capazes, na tomada de decisões (devido ao alt percentual, fatores associados não foram caculados); e 64,5% preferiram o autoenvolvimento, quando incapazes de tomar decisões, por meio, por exemplo, de um testamento em vida. Considerando que os participantes puderam escolher mais de uma resposta, as combinações mais frequentes para o cenário de capacidade foram: participantes e outros familiares (76,8%); e participantes e médicos (67,8%). No cenário de incapacidade, as combinações mais frequentes foram: participantes e outros familiares (geralmente filhos e netos) (59,3%); e participantes e médicos (48,5%). Três fatores foram associados à preferência pelo i-r autoenvolvimento em um cenário de incapacidade. Aqueles que eram casados ou com companheiro (viúvo; odds ratio ajustada (AOR) = 0,37; intervalo de confiança (IC) 95% 0,19-0,68) e os homens (mulheres; AOR = 0,62; IC95% 0,38-1,00) foram menos propensos a preferir o autoenvolvimento. Os mais jovens: 60-69 anos (80+; AOR = 2,35; IC95% 1,20-4,58) and 70-79 anos (80+; AOR = 2,45; IC95% 1,214,94) foram mais prováveis de preferir o autoenvolvimento. CONCLUSÕES: A maioria dos participantes preferiu o autoenvolvimento em ambos os cenários de capacidade e incapacidade. A preferência pelo autoenvolvimento foi maior no cenário de capacidade, enquanto a preferência pelo envolvimento de outros familiares (geralmente filhos) foi maior no cenário de incapacidade.Brazilian Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology (SBGG)2020-11-25T19:18:08Z2020-01-01T00:00:00Z2020info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/29905eng2447-211510.5327/Z2447-212320202000089Jorge, RafaelaCalanzani, NatáliaFreitas, AdelaideNunes, RuiSousa, Lilianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:55:49Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/29905Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:01:18.542380Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
