          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: investigar queixas auditivas e caracterizar impactos sociais e emocionais do handicap auditivo em idosos. MÉTODOS: participaram deste estudotransversal,35idosos dosprojetos Enriquecimento Cultural e Nucleação, ambos do Pólo Interdisciplinar do Envelhecimento da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. Utilizou-se dois instrumentos de coleta de dados: o questionário sócio-demográfico, de saúde geral e percepção auditiva e o de avaliação da desvantagem auditiva The Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, HHIE (adaptado por Wieselberg, 1997). Efetuou-se a análise descritiva das < variáveis de estudo e, para verificar a associação entre a ocorrência de desvantagem auditiva com as demais variáveis, realizou-se análises bivariadas, por meio do teste X², considerando p < 0.05. RESULTADOS: foram observadas queixas auditivas para 11 (31,4%) indivíduos e de desvantagem auditiva (social e/ou emocional) para 10 (28,6%). As principais implicações da desvantagem auditiva relacionaram-se às habilidades sociais, compreensão da fala durante atos comunicativos; dificuldades na compreensão da TV e/ou rádio; baixa tolerância a sons intensos e a ambientes ruidosos. Apenas sete (20%) entrevistados não apresentaram nenhuma percepção de desvantagem. CONCLUSÃO: apesar de ter sido utilizada amostra reduzida, foram observadas queixas auditivas em atividades cotidianas dos idosos, que dificilmente seriam pesquisadas em avaliações de saúde de rotina, nem mesmo em audiometrias. Os resultados foram expressivos, tendo em vista a utilização de amostra específica de idosos e o predomínio de idosos "mais jovens", fatos que podem subestimar as queixas.

          PURPOSE: to investigate hearing complaints and characterize the social and emotional impacts of hearing handicap in elderly. METHODS: this cross-sectional study analyzed 35 participants of the projects: Enriquecimento Cultural e Processos de Envelhecimento and Nucleação, both of Pólo Interdisciplinar na Área do Envelhecimento of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Two instruments were used for data collection: an inventory the social-demographic features, general health and hearing perception and a tool reffered to as The Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, HHIE (adapted by Wieselberg, 1997). We performed the descriptive analysis of the variables under study and, in order to check the association among the occurrence of hearing handicap with the others variables, bivariate analyzes were carried out, by using the X² test, considering p <0.05. RESULTS: the results showed the prevalence of hearing complaint for at least 11 (31.4%) of the people and the prevalence of hearing handicap in 10 (28.6%) regarding the emotional and social issues. The main hearing handicap implications were related to the social abilities, such as conversation comprehension; TV/radio comprehension; low tolerance to intense sounds and noisy environments. Only 7 (20%) did not have any perception of hearing problems. CONCLUSION: in spite of using a reduced sample, we noted hearing complaints in daily activities of elderly, which could not be investigated with routine health assessments, not even with audiometry. These results were significant, mainly because we used a specific group, that included "young elderly" (60-69-year old), facts that could decrease the number of complaints.

          Fatores determinantes do envelhecimento saudável em idosos residentes em centro urbano: Projeto Epidoso, São Paulo

          Luiz Ramos (2003)
          Com o envelhecimento populacional, temos um aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas e incapacitantes e uma mudança de paradigma na saúde pública. As doenças diagnosticadas num indivíduo idoso geralmente não admitem cura e, se não forem devidamente tratadas e acompanhadas ao longo dos anos, tendem a apresentar complicações e seqüelas que comprometem a independência e a autonomia do paciente. A saúde não é mais medida pela presença ou não de doenças, e sim pelo grau de preservação da capacidade funcional. Quais os fatores que determinam um envelhecimento saudável, com boa capacidade funcional, e quais os fatores que aumentam o risco de morte e incapacidade são questões que terão que ser respondidas por inquéritos longitudinais que incluam a população idosa residente na comunidade. Este artigo apresenta dados do primeiro inquérito populacional de seguimento com idosos na comunidade no Brasil ­ Projeto Epidoso, em curso desde 1991 na cidade de São Paulo. São discutidas as características sócio-demográficas, clínicas e funcionais de uma coorte de idosos, com análise de risco para morte e incapacidade e considerações sobre as implicações para o planejamento em saúde.

              Examination of the relationship among hearing impairment, linguistic communication, mood, and social engagement of residents in complex continuing-care facilities.

              Earlier evidence was not conclusive about whether hearing loss is associated with mood (i.e., depressive symptoms and anhedonia) and social engagement (i.e., reduced psychosocial involvement and reduced activity levels) in elderly residents living in complex continuing-care facilities. If hearing impairment results in poor mood and lower levels of social engagement, then remedying hearing impairment might result in a higher quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine if functional hearing impairment in continuing-care residents is associated with mood and social engagement. This study included all residents in Ontario who were admitted to complex continuing-care facilities between April 2000 and March 2001. Through the Canadian Institute of Health Information, we gathered health information by using the Minimum Data Set 2.0 questionnaire. The results were consistent with our hypothesized direct effect of functional hearing impairment on mood. Path analyses showed that hearing impairment impairs linguistic communication and that impaired linguistic communication is related to lower levels of mood and social engagement. This study adds to the literature supporting an association between hearing impairment and mood. It suggests that remedying hearing impairment may lower levels of poor mood in residents of complex continuing-care facilities. This, in turn, may reduce the negative effects of hearing impairment on social engagement and increase the quality of life for residents of these facilities. This study also suggests that questionnaires used to assess hearing, such as the Minimum Data Set 2.0, are suitable for early identification of hearing problems and may be used to refer residents to audiological services.
