Resumo: Objective: To assess older people’s knowledge about and access to the geriatrics service of a polyclinic located in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo. Methods: Participants were 200 older people waiting for an outpatient consultation in the waiting room of the Polyclinic of the University of Mogi das Cruzes. These older people answered a questionnaire in the period from September 2013 to January 2014. Results: 58% (n=116) of participants reported knowing about the existence of a geriatric physician, but only 9,5% (n=19) were served by this specialist. Regarding older people who are usually served by one single medical specialty in routine consultations, 8% (n=16) sought specialists other than general practitioner, cardiologist and gynecologist. As for these other specialties, only 17.6% (n=35) sought the geriatrician. Most participants (99.5%, n=199) think it is important that older people are seen by a geriatric physician. Conclusion: Most older interviewees know the geriatric specialty; however, they never had the opportunity to consult a geriatric physician even though they recognize that this should occur. Despite the existence of this specialty in the polyclinic, it can be said that the population is not informed about the availability of consultations with such professional in the municipal service.

Métodos: Participaron 200 mayores que esperaban por la consulta de ambulatorio en la sala de espera de la Policlínica de la Universidad de Mogi das Cruzes. Esos mayores contestaron a una encuesta entre septiembre de 2013 y enero de 2014. Resultados: De los evaluados, el 58% (n=116) de los participantes afirmaron saber que había el médico geriatra pero el 9,5% (n=19) fueron asistidos por ese especialista. Respecto a los mayores que suelen pasar solamente por uma única especialidad para las consultas de rutina, el 8% (n=16) buscan especialidades distintas de las del clínico general, del cardiólogo y del ginecólogo. De entre esas otras especialidades solamente el 17,6% (n=35) procuran el geriatra. La mayoría de los participantes, el 99,5% (n=199) consideran importante que el mayor pase por un médico geriatra. Conclusión: La mayoría de los mayores investigados conoce la especialidad geriátrica pero nunca tuvieron la oportunidad de una consulta con um medico geriatra aunque reconocen que eso debería ocurrir. A pesar de la existencia de esta especialidad en la policlínica, se puede decir que la población no tiene la información de que hay disponibilidad de atendimientos de parte de este profesional en el servicio municipal.Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento e o acesso de idosos ao serviço de geriatria de uma policlínica localizada em Mogi das Cruzes, SP. Métodos: Participaram 200 idosos que aguardavam uma consulta ambulatorial na sala de espera da Policlínica da Universidade de Mogi das Cruzes. Esses idosos responderam a um questionário no período de setembro de 2013 a janeiro de 2014. Resultados: Dos avaliados, 58% (n=116) dos participantes afirmaram saber da existência do médico geriatra, porém, apenas 9,5% (n=19) foram atendidos por esse especialista. Quanto aos idosos que costumam passar apenas por uma única especialidade para consultas rotineiras, 8% (n=16) buscam especialidades diferentes das de clínico geral, cardiologista e ginecologista. Dentre essas outras especialidades, apenas 17,6% (n=35) buscam o geriatra. A maioria dos participantes, 99,5% (n=199), considera importante que o idoso passe por um médico geriatra. Conclusão: A maioria dos idosos indagados conhece a especialidade geriátrica, porém nunca tiveram a oportunidade de se consultar com um médico geriatra, embora reconheçam que isso devesse ocorrer. Apesar da existência desta especialidade na policlínica, pode-se dizer que a população não está informada sobre a disponibilidade dos atendimentos desse profissional no serviço municipal.Universidade de Fortaleza2016-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/468110.5020/18061230.2016.490Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 29 No. 4 (2016); 490-495Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 29 Núm. 4 (2016); 490-495Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 29 n. 4 (2016); 490-4951806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/4681/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/4681/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2016 Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Souza, Angela Alves Correiade Campos, KarisPanhoca, Ivone2022-02-16T12:35:14Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/4681Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2022-02-16T12:35:14Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
