Resumo
Introdução: A sexualidade é um dos pilares da qualidade de vida, e o aumento da longevidade traz à terceira idade adversidades nessas vivências, entretanto, a incapacidade de ter prazer não deve ser considerada típica do envelhecimento. Objetivo: avaliar a correlação entre a qualidade de vida e satisfação sexual em idosos de um ambulatório de especialidades médicas da região sul do Brasil. Método: estudo observacional transversal analítico envolvendo 144 idosos de Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos comportamentais e dados dos questionários Quociente Sexual e WHOQOL-OLD. A análise de dados foi realizada no programa IBM SPSS 18.0 e foi estimada a correlação entre as variáveis por meio do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Resultados: participaram 144 idosos, em maioria do sexo feminino. 42% dessa amostra com boa saúde autorreferida, 53% com atividade sexual e 47% inativos. Associação positiva (r = 0,450; p<0,001) entre todos os domínios do WHOQOL-OLD e Quociente Sexual, com destaque para a faceta autonomia, com moderada intensidade. Conclusão: houve associação positiva, entretanto fraca, entre sexualidade e qualidade de vida nos idosos.
Introduction: Sexuality is one of the pillars of quality of life, and increased longevity brings adversities in these experiences to the elderly, however, the inability to have pleasure should not be considered typical of aging. Objective: to evaluate the correlation between quality of life and sexual satisfaction in elderly people at a medical specialty outpatient clinic in the southern region of Brazil. Method: analytical cross-sectional observational study involving 144 elderly people from Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Behavioral sociodemographic data and data from the Sexual Quotient and WHOQOL-OLD questionnaires were collected. Data analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS 18.0 program and the correlation between variables was estimated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: 144 elderly people participated, the majority of whom were female. 42% of this sample had self-reported good health, 53% were sexually active and 47% were inactive. Positive association (r = 0.450; p<0.001) between all WHOQOL-OLD domains and Sexual Quotient, with emphasis on the autonomy facet, with moderate intensity. Conclusion: there was a positive, weak, association between sexuality and quality of life in the elderly.
