Resumo: Generic instruments to evaluate the quality of life in the elderly population are scarce and present limitations for this age range. To evaluate the reliability of the Spitzer quality of life index in elderly individuals in follow-up at outpatient clinic and discriminant validity in relation to the number of comorbidities and medication. Methodological research with 200 elderly individuals, between 60 and 89 years of age, through the following instruments: Characterization of subjects and Spitzer Quality of Life Index. The total average score of the Spitzer Quality of Life Index was 8.0 with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.55. The instrument discriminated individuals in relation to the number of comorbidities (p=0.0011) and medication (p=0.0045). Conclusion: The study refers to further research so as to verify whether the instrument reliability shows high values in individuals with clinical conditions more severe than of the studied sample.

O objetivo com esta pesquisa foi avaliar a confiabilidade do índice de qualidade de vida de Spitzer em idosos em seguimento ambulatorial e a validade discriminante em relação ao número de comorbidades e medicações. Trata-se de pesquisa metodológica com 200 idosos entre 60 e 89 anos, utilizando os seguintes instrumentos: caracterização dos sujeitos e índice de qualidade de vida de Spitzer. A pontuação média do escore total do Índice de Qualidade de Vida de Spitzer foi 8,0, com coeficiente alfa de Cronbach 0,55. Por meio do instrumento os idosos foram avaliados em relação ao número de comorbidades (p=0,0011) e medicamentos (p=0,0045). O estudo remete a futuras investigações a fim de verificar se a confiabilidade desse instrumento mostra valores elevados em sujeitos em condições clínicas mais graves em relação à da amostra estudada.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2013-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/5025010.5935/1415-2762.20130010REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2013)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 17 Núm. 1 (2013)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 17 n. 1 (2013)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50250/41663https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50250/41664https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50250/41665Copyright (c) 2013 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRospendowiski, KarinaCintra, Fernanda AparecidaAlexandre, Neusa Maria Costa2024-01-24T13:45:18Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50250Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T13:45:18Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
