Investigación descriptiva y cuanti-cualitativa cuyos datos se obtuvieron con la aplicación del cuestionario “Alfabetización en Salud” de Wang y colaboradores, versión brasileña. La muestra constó de 173 ancianos. Obtenidos por medio de entrevistas, los datos fueron analizados y clasificados en las siguientes dimensiones. 1) Interés y preocupación con el HIV/Sida. 2) Búsqueda de informaciones. 3) Entendiendo informaciones sobre la prevención del HIV/Sida. 4) Compartiendo informaciones sobre prevención del HIV/Sida. 5) Repercusión de esas informaciones. Se observó un bajo nivel de Alfabetización en salud en los ancianos, en todas las dimensiones del constructo, induciéndonos a relacionarlo con el bajo nivel socio-económico y de escolaridad constatados. El bajo nivel de Alfabetización en salud de los ancianos configura una importante brecha en la educación para la salud. Los resultados subsidian la revisión de programas locales de salud para el combate contra el HIV/Sida entre los ancianos y alerta para acciones educacionales innovadoras que autonomicen el protagonismo de los ancianos para una vida sexual más segura y saludable.Avaliar o nível de alfabetização em saúde relativo a HIV/Aids dos idosos frequentadores de programa de convivência para a terceira idade de uma metrópole do norte do Brasil. Pesquisa descritiva, quantiqualitativa, cujos dados foram colhidos com aplicação do questionário “Alfabetização em Saúde” de Wang e colaboradores, versão brasileira. A amostra constou de 173 idosos. Colhidos por entrevista, os dados foram analisados classificando-os nas dimensões: 1. Interesse e preocupação com HIV/Aids; 2. Busca por informações; 3. Entendendo informações sobre prevenção do HIV/Aids; 4. Compartilhando informações sobre prevenção do HIV/Aids; 5. Percebendo repercussão dessas informações. Observou-se baixo nível de Alfabetização em saúde dos idosos, em todas as dimensões do construto, induzindo-nos a relacioná-lo com o baixo nível socioeconômico e de escolaridade constatados. O baixo nível de Alfabetização em saúde dos idosos configura-se flagrante lacuna em educação para a saúde. Os resultados subsidiam revisão de programas locais de saúde no combate ao HIV/Aids entre idosos e alertam para ações educacionais inovadas que autonomizem o protagonismo dos idosos para uma vida sexual mais segura e saudável.Research, Society and Development2020-11-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/969410.33448/rsd-v9i11.9694Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 11; e1839119694Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 11; e1839119694Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 11; e18391196942525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/9694/8669Copyright (c) 2020 Lucia Hisako Takase Gonçalves; Alexandra de Jesus Pompeu Costa; Aline Bento Neves; Aline Maria Pereira Cruz Ramos; Sandra Helena Isse Polaro; Eliã Pinheiro Botelhohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Lucia Hisako Takase Costa, Alexandra de Jesus PompeuNeves, Aline BentoRamos, Aline Maria Pereira CruzPolaro, Sandra Helena IsseBotelho, Eliã Pinheiro2020-12-10T23:37:57Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/9694Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:31:54.797551Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
