Resumo: | The emotional ties and personal relationships we form during our lives affect the quality of our family relationships when we grow older. The objective of this study was to evaluate family functioning among elderly people attending adult literacy classes and to identify who they would choose to care for them in their older age. It was a descriptive and transverse study, based on the principles of the quantitative and qualitative research method. To the family functioning assessment, it was used the Family Apgar, proposed by SMILKSTEIN (1978) and data were statistically analyzed in frequency measures. 93 elderly people were evaluated. To the comprehension of caregiver choice it was made in-depth interviews with 9 participants, three of them from each Apgar category. Interviews were analyzed, following the Content Analyze Model, Thematic Analyze Category, proposed by BARDIN (1977). Ethical guidelines for research with human participants were followed. Results obtained with the Family Apgar Scale indicate that 81 participants were from well functioning families, 8 presented moderate family dysfunction and 4 presented high family dysfunction. In-depth interviews were conducted with three participants from each category. In all three groups, the caregiver of choice was the same with respect to: gender (female), family relationship (daughter) and family composition (multigenerational). The definition of “Who will push my wheelchair” is a choice determined by socio-cultural values and individual life histories; the choice is a multivariate issue, affected by lifelong processes. |

A lo largo de la vida, los lazos afectivos y personales determinan las relaciones familiares en el proceso de envejecimiento humano. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivos: evaluar la funcionalidad familiar de los ancianos pertenecientes a un movimiento de alfabetización de adultos e identificar a quién ellos elegirían para cuidarlos en la vejez. Tratase de un estudio descriptivo y transversal, con base en los presupuestos del método quantitativo y qualitativo de investigación. Para evaluar la funcionalidad familiar se utilizó el Apgar de Familia propuesto por SMILKSTEIN (1978) y los datos fueron analisados estadisticamente según medidas de frecuencia. Fueron evaluados 93 sujetos. Para la comprensión de la elección del cuidador fueron realizadas entrevistas en profundidad con 9 ancianos, siendo 3 de cada categoria del Apgar. Las entrevistas fueron analisadas según el modelo de análisis de contenido, categoria Análise Temática propuesta por BARDIN (1977). Fueron respetados todos los cuidados éticos que rigen investigaciones con seres humanos. De acuerdo con el Apgar de familia, 81 ancianos presentaron funcionalidad familiar buena, 8 disfunción moderada y 4 disfunción familiar elevada. Fueron seleccionados tres ancianos de cada categoría para entrevista en profundidad. Para las tres categorías del Apgar fueron comunes: género (mujer), grado de parentesco (hija), composición familiar (multigeneracional), historia de vida y relaciones sociales.“Quién irá empujar mi silla de ruedas” es una elección determinada por valores sociales y culturales y por la historia de vida de cada uno. Es una elección multideterminada, multivariada y que se procesa a lo largo de la vida.As relações afetivas e pessoais ao longo da vida podem determinar as relações familiares no processo do envelhecer humano. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a funcionalidade familiar de idosos pertencentes a um movimento de alfabetização de adultos e identificar quem escolheriam para cuidar deles na velhice. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e transversal, baseado nos pressupostos do método quantitativo e qualitativo de investigação. Para a avaliação da funcionalidade familiar utilizou-se o Apgar de Família proposto por SMILKSTEIN (1978) e os dados foram analisados estatisticamente segundo medidas de freqüência. Foram avaliados 93 idosos. Para a compreensão da escolha do cuidador foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com 9 idosos, sendo três de cada categoria do Apgar. As entrevistas foram analisadas, segundo o Modelo de Análise de Conteúdo, categoria Análise Temática proposta por BARDIN (1977).Todos os cuidados éticos que regem pesquisas com seres humanos foram respeitados. Os resultados do Apgar de família mostram que 81 idosos apresentaram boa funcionalidade familiar, 8 moderada disfunção e 4 elevada disfunção familiar. Os resultados das entrevistas mostram que, nas três categorias do Apgar, a escolha do cuidador foi a mesma no que diz respeito ao gênero (mulher), ao grau de parentesco (filha), à composição familiar (multigeracional), à história de vida e ao relacionamento. “Quem irá empurrar minha cadeira de rodas” é uma escolha determinada por valores sociais e culturais e pela história de vida de cada um. É multideterminada, multivariada e se processa ao longo da vida.
