Resumo: | The population is in the process of aging and with the maintenance of sexual practices, the risk of acquiring Sexually Transmitted Infections becomes high. The objective of this investigation is to discuss the knowledge and behavior of the elderly regarding the risk and prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out in the city of Teresópolis/RJ, in the year 2021. The participants were fifty elderly people registered in a Family Health Unit. For data collection, a structured self-administered questionnaire was used. Among the participants, more than half are male, aged between 60 and 65 years, married, self-declared white, Catholic, with incomplete elementary schooling. More than half did not receive guidance from health professionals regarding prevention and mentioned the use of television as a way of acquiring information. As for knowledge, the majority report not knowing what a sexually transmitted disease is, they do not use condoms and recognize the risk of contagion. This study showed that the elderly population faces barriers regarding their sexuality and that among the factors associated with susceptibility to infections are: low education, limited knowledge about contagion and prevention and poor adherence to condom use. We call for educational campaigns and for the effective participation of health professionals in comprehensive care in order to minimize damage to the sexual health of the elderly. |

El objetivo de esta investigación es discutir el conocimiento y el comportamiento de los ancianos sobre el riesgo y la prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual. Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal realizado en la ciudad de Teresópolis/RJ, en el año 2021. Participaron cincuenta ancianos registrados en una Unidad de Salud de la Familia. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado autoadministrado. Entre los participantes, más de la mitad son del sexo masculino, con edad entre 60 y 65 años, casados, blancos autodeclarados, católicos, con escolaridad primaria incompleta. Más de la mitad no recibió orientación de los profesionales de la salud en materia de prevención y mencionó el uso de la televisión como medio de adquisición de información. En cuanto al conocimiento, la mayoría refiere no saber qué es una enfermedad de transmisión sexual, no utiliza preservativo y reconoce el riesgo de contagio. Este estudio mostró que la población anciana enfrenta barreras con respecto a su sexualidad y que entre los factores asociados a la susceptibilidad a las infecciones se encuentran: baja escolaridad, limitado conocimiento sobre contagio y prevención y poca adherencia al uso del preservativo. Llamamos a campañas educativas ya la participación efectiva de los profesionales de la salud en la atención integral para minimizar los daños a la salud sexual de los adultos mayores.A população está em franco processo de envelhecimento e com a manutenção das práticas sexuais, o risco de adquirir Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis torna-se elevado. O objetivo desta investigação é discutir o conhecimento e o comportamento de idosos quanto ao risco e à prevenção diante das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis. Estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal realizado no município de Teresópolis/RJ, no ano de 2021. Os participantes foram cinquenta idosos cadastrados em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário estruturado autoaplicável. Entre os participantes, mais da metade é do sexo masculino, com faixa etária entre 60 e 65 anos, casados, autodeclarados brancos, católicos, com nível de escolaridade fundamental incompleto. Mais da metade não recebeu orientações de profissionais de saúde com relação à prevenção e referiram o uso da televisão como forma de adquirir informação. Quanto ao conhecimento, a maioria refere desconhecer o que seja uma doença transmitida pelo sexo, não utilizam preservativo e reconhecem o risco de contágio. Este estudo evidenciou que a população idosa enfrenta barreiras no tocante a sua sexualidade e que entre os fatores associados à suscetibilidade às infecções estão: baixa escolaridade, conhecimento limitado sobre contágio e prevenção e pouca adesão ao uso do preservativo. Conclama-se por campanhas educativas e pela participação efetiva dos profissionais de saúde no cuidado integral a fim de minimizar danos à saúde sexual dos idosos.Research, Society and Development2023-03-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3482710.33448/rsd-v12i4.34827Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 No. 4; e2212434827Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 Núm. 4; e2212434827Research, Society and Development; v. 12 n. 4; e22124348272525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/34827/33328Copyright (c) 2023 Isabela da Costa Monnerat; Jackson Freire Benedito de Azevedo; Livia de Souza Câmara; Renata Mendes Barbosa; Verônica Peres Gonçalves; Selma Villas Boas Teixeira; Benisia Maria Barbosa Cordeiro ; Leila Rangel da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMonnerat, Isabela da CostaAzevedo, Jackson Freire Benedito de Câmara, Livia de Souza Barbosa, Renata Mendes Gonçalves, Verônica Peres Teixeira, Selma Villas Boas Cordeiro , Benisia Maria Barbosa Silva, Leila Rangel da2023-04-21T18:13:32Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/34827Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2023-04-21T18:13:32Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
