O presente trabalho refere-se ao estudo do processo de envelhecimento, concretamente à relação da qualidade de vida e atitudes face ao envelhecimento com a ideação suicida na população idosa. O trabalho tem como objetivos: Caraterizar a amostra de adultos mais velhos quanto às três variáveis; comparar a ideação suicida tendo em conta o género e idade; analisar a relação de algumas variáveis sociodemográficas e psicossociais com as variáveis em estudo; comparar a qualidade de vida tendo em conta a idade; comparar as atitudes face ao envelhecimento tendo em conta o género; analisar a relação entre a qualidade de vida e as atitudes face ao envelhecimento; analisar a relação entre a ideação suicida, qualidade de vida e atitudes face ao envelhecimento. Foram utilizados quatro instrumentos: Questionário de avaliação da Qualidade de Vida - WHOQOL-Bref (OMS, 1998; 2001); Questionário de Atitudes face ao Envelhecimento - AAQ-24 (Laidlaw, Power, e Schmidt, 2007); Questionário de Comportamentos Suicidários Revisto - SBQ-R (Osman et. al., 2001) e um Questionário Sociodemográfico, com o objetivo de recolher dados sociodemográficos e psicossociais. No estudo participaram 123 indivíduos de ambos os sexos com idade superior a 64 anos. Na análise recorreu-se à estatística descritiva, correlacional e inferencial. Os principais resultados demonstraram associações significativas entre a qualidade de vida e as atitudes face ao envelhecimento. O risco de ideação suicida associa-se, negativamente e significativamente, com a qualidade de vida e com as atitudes face ao envelhecimento. São referidas limitações do estudo e apresentadas diretrizes para investigações futuras.
The present research concerns the study of the aging process, specifically the relationship between quality of life and attitudes towards aging, and suicidal ideation in the elderly. The study aims are: To characterize the older adult sample in what concerns the three variables; to compare suicidal ideation taking into account gender and age; to analyze the relationship between sociodemographic and psychosocial variables, and the variables under study; to compare quality of life taking into account the age; to compare attitudes towards aging taking into account the gender; to analyze the relationship between quality of life and attitudes towards ageing; to analyze the relationship between suicidal ideation, quality of life and attitudes towards ageing. Four instruments were used: Evaluation of Quality of Life Questionnaire - WHOQOL-Bref (OMS, 1998; 2001); Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire - AAQ-24 (Laidlaw, Power, e Schmidt, 2007); Suicidal Behavior Revised Questionnaire SBQ-R (Osman et. al., 2001) and a Social-Demographic Questionnaire, with the aim of collecting sociodemographic and psychosocial data. 123 individuals of both sexes, aged over 64 years old, participated in this study. In the analysis, descriptive, correlation and inferential statistics were used. The main results demonstrated significant associations between quality of life and attitudes towards ageing; and the risk of suicidal ideation was associated negatively and significantly with quality of life and attitudes towards ageing. Limitations of the study are pointed out and guidelines for future research are presented.
