Health care of elderly people with disabilities living in rural settings: perspective of community agents
Abstract
Objective: to apprehend the perspective of Community Agents on health care of elderly people with disabilities living in rural settings. Method: quantitative-qualitative study, whose data collection was initially performed with 276 people with disabilities living in rural settings, through questionnaires applied from August 2018 to July 2019. From this total, only the elderly were selected to be part of the cut of this research, totaling a sample of 54 individuals. After analyzing the quantitative data through a statistical program, 18 Community Health Agents who assisted these elderly in their micro rural areas were interviewed. The interviews were conducted from July to August 2021, analyzed by the Thematic Content Analysis. Results: it was possible to verify the presence of chronic diseases in the elderly, in addition to dependence on public health services, far from homes. The Community Health Agents reported their actions of attention to the elderly with disabilities, highlighting the importance of the collaboration of the multidisciplinary team to meet this population. Conclusion: it appears that the care to this population stratum, in rural communities, focuses on the Community Health Agent, indicating the need for new research on the subject
