Resumo: | The objective of this study was to analyze the knowledge of elders regarding HIV/AIDS and the sexual quotient of both genders in a Social Center in a town in the countryside of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a descriptive, transversal and quantitative study, involving 457 elders who belong to social groups offered by the Facility for the Care of the Elderly (UAI, in the Portuguese acronym), in the town of Uberaba, MG. In this study, the following instruments were used: MEEM to select those with a minimum level of cognition, QHIV3I to evaluate their knowledge, and QS-F/QS-M to measure the sexual quotient. Data was analyzed with the "Statistical Package for Social Sciences" (SPSS), version 20.0. Females represented 74% of participants, 40.5% between 70 and 79 y/o. 51.8% stated not to have a partner. Questions regarding transmission by needles and syringes, had the greatest number of right answers 96.2%. Only 45.1%, however, answered correctly the question about transmission through mosquito bites. 90.2% of the elders know it is possible to detect the virus through laboratory exams. And 88.2% of them stated to have never used a condom in sexual intercourses. Regarding the sexual quotient, 57.7% of the female elders stated to have a bad or null sex life, while only 7.6% of the male stated to have inactive sex lives. Campaigns targeted at this population are necessary, as well as an increase in the awareness of the health professionals, since that would make it possible for them to recognize the sexuality of the elder, and the risks inherent to it. |

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo envolvendo 457 idosos participantes de grupos de convivência da Unidade de Atenção ao Idoso (UAI) do Município de Uberaba –MG. Neste estudo aplicou-se os instrumentos: MEEM para elegibilidade da cognição mínima, QHIV3I para avaliação do conhecimento e, QS-F/QS-M para mensuração do quociente sexual. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se “Statiscal Package for Social Sciences” (SPSS) versão 20.0. O sexo feminino representou 74%, com 40,5% na faixa etária entre 70 a 79 anos, 51,8% afirmaram não possuir parceiro. O maior índice de acertos foi encontrado no quesito transmissão, como por seringa e agulhas 96,2%. Já nos erros foi na resposta de transmissão através de mosquito com apenas 45,1% de acertos. Do total de idosos, 90,2% sabem que é possível detectar o vírus através de exames laboratorial. E, 88,2% deles relataram nunca terem usado camisinha durante as relações sexuais. Do quociente sexual 57,7% das idosas afirmaram ter vida sexual ativa nula ou ruim, enquanto os idosos com vida sexualmente inativa foram apenas 7,6%. São necessárias campanhas voltadas exclusivamente para tal público, bem como, a conscientização de profissionais da saúde, tornando possível o reconhecimento da sexualidade do envelhecido e os riscos inerentes a ela.EDUFU2017-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/3483110.14393/BJ-v33n2-34831Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 33 No. 2 (2017): Mar./Apr.Bioscience Journal ; v. 33 n. 2 (2017): Mar./Apr.1981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/34831/20012Malaquias, Bruna Stephanie SousaNardelli, Giovanna GaudenciAzevedo, Nayara FreitasLedic, Carolina SilvaGaudenci, Eliana MariaSantos, Álvaro da Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-05-31T22:12:06Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/34831Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2021-05-31T22:12:06Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
