A Dependência Funcional dos Idosos Pós Acidente Vascular Cerebral tem
consequências físicas e emocionais, comprometedoras da capacidade funcional, da
independência e da autonomia, podendo igualmente ter efeitos sociais e económicos
que invadem todos os aspectos da sua vida.
Assim este estudo de carácter quantitativo, transversal, descritivo e
correlacional foi objectivado no sentido de caracteriza o idoso pós AVC, identificar a
sua funcionalidade familiar; variáveis relacionadas com a sua saúde (através de
variáveis clínicas: número de doenças associadas, presença ou ausência de factores
de risco do AVC, realização de programa de reabilitação); verificar o grau de
dependência do idoso no desenvolvimento das actividades de vida diária; analisar a
existência de uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre as variáveis
independentes e a dependência funcional do idoso após AVC.
O método de amostragem seguido foi o não probabilístico acidental por
conveniencia, num total de 60 idosos institucionalizados em lares. Aplicou-se um
formulário sociodemográfico, Escala de Graffar, Escala de Apgar Familiar e a Escala
de Avaliação de Dependência Rápida e Global.
Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos Idosos apresentam dependência
moderada, com maior dependência nas Actividades Locomotoras e Corporais.
Verificámos a existência de uma relação estatistica significativa entre estado civil,
número de doenças, presença de factores de risco e a dependência funcional do idoso
após AVC.
Face ao exposto, temos de assumir um papel activo na promoção de estilos de
vida saudáveis junto das comunidades, estratégia fundamental na prevenção do AVC,
bem como promover programas de exercícios físicos em instituições, para se reduzir o
declínio motor e cognitivo dos idosos.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Idosos; Pós Acidente Vascular Cerebral; Dependência

ABSTRACT The Functional Dependency of the Post-Stroke Elderly has physical and emotional consequences, compromising their functional capacity, independence and autonomy; it may also have social and economic effects that invade every aspect of their daily life. Thus, this quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study was objectified in order to characterize the elderly after stroke, identify their family functioning; variables related to their health (by clinical variables: number of diseases, presence or absence of risk factors for stroke, completion of rehabilitation program); verify the degree of dependency of the elderly in the development of activities of daily living and analyze the existence of a statistically significant relationship between independent variables and functional dependence after stroke in the elderly. The sampling method followed was not accidental probabilistic by convenience, for a total of 60 institutionalized elderly in nursing homes. We applied a demographic form, the Graffar Scale, the Family Apgar Scale and Dependence Rapid and Global Rating Scale. The results showed that most elderly show moderate dependence, with greater reliance on Body and Locomotor Activities. We verified the existence of a statistically significant relationship between marital status, number of illnesses, presence of risk factors and functional dependence after stroke in the elderly. Due to this, we must assume an active role in promoting healthy lifestyles among the communities, crucial strategy in the prevention of stroke, as well as to promote physical exercise programs in institutions, in order to reduce the decline in motor and cognitive impairment among the elderly.
