Abstract(s)
A autoestima pode ser definida como um sentimento que cada pessoa constrói sobre si própria, podendo ser considerada de elevada autoestima até baixa autoestima. No caso da baixa autoestima, esta é alvo de preocupação clínica por poder desencadear mais facilmente problemas como a depressão. Com facilidade se pode pensar que a autoestima dos utentes idosos internados está relacionada com o facto de terem tido uma boa experiência com a equipa profissional de saúde, portanto surge com este estudo a intenção de perceber realmente se existe relação entre essas duas vertentes, a autoestima dos utentes idosos e a sua satisfação com os cuidados de Enfermagem, recorrendo à utilização da versão portuguesa da Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg e à utilização da versão portuguesa da Escala da Satisfação do Cidadão face aos Cuidados de Enfermagem. Este estudo insere-se no paradigma de investigação quantitativa, do tipo descritivo-correlacional com corte transversal numa população representada por 30 utentes idosos internados numa Unidade de Cuidados Continuados. Em Portugal existe um número reduzido de estudos que avaliam a autoestima dos utentes idosos e também um número reduzido de estudos que analisam a satisfação dos utentes idosos com os cuidados de Enfermagem. Não foi encontrado nenhum estudo que avaliasse a relação entre estes dois últimos, por isso este estudo vem contribuir para colmatar esta lacuna. Pela análise dos resultados foi possível apurar que a autoestima dos utentes idosos internados se encontra a um nível moderado de autoestima e a sua satisfação com os cuidados de Enfermagem se encontra em níveis elevados, não revelando relação entre estes dois. Além disso, é de referir que a amostra do estudo foi relativamente reduzida e, portanto, não se consegue considerar representativa da população em geral, pois o potencial de generalização é limitado. Em investigações futuras seria relevante realizar um estudo avaliando as mesmas variáveis, mas com uma amostra de dimensões mais elevadas.
The self-esteem can be defined as a feeling that each person develops about oneself, it can be described from high self-esteem to low self-esteem. The low self-esteem is of greater clinical concern due to the fact that it can easily unleash depression problems. It is very common to think that the self-esteem of elderly hospitalized patients is related to the good experience they had with the health professional team. Therefore, it emerges with this study the intention to really understand whether there is a relationship between these two aspects, the elderly patients’ self-esteem and their satisfaction with de Nursing cares, using the portuguese version of Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE) and the portuguese version of Citizen Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale (CSNCS). This study has followed the quantitative research paradigm, being itself a cross-sectional descriptive and correlational study in a population represented by 30 elderly patients hospitalized in a Continued Care Unit. In Portugal there is a reduced number of studies evaluating the self-esteem on elderly patients and also a minor number of studies measuring their satisfaction with Nursing care. There has been no study found which evaluated the relationship between these, therefore, this study contributes to bridge this gap. Through the results analysis it was possible to conclude that the elderly hospitalized users have a moderate level of self-esteem and that their satisfaction with the Nursing care has higher levels, not showing any relationship among both. Futhermore, it is important to refer that the study sample was relatively reduced and, therefore, is not possible to consider it as representative of the Portuguese population in general, because the potential of generalization is limited. In future investigations, it would be relevant to carry out a study evaluating the same aspects, but using a sample with higher dimensions.
