Objetivou-se discutir o aumento do contingente populacional de idosos no Brasil e a sua repercussão na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Revisão crítica da literatura científica, realizada na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, a partir dos descritores controlados “Atenção Primária à Saúde”, “Saúde do Idoso” e “Envelhecimento”, considerando registros bibliográficos em português e em inglês. Procederam-se dois estágios de revisão, compreendendo, no primeiro, a imersão ou acesso a literatura e, no segundo, a formulação de eixos de discussão ou agrupamento de textos por temas. Os resultados contemplaram 38 referências, de diferentes tipologias, incluindo: 63% de artigos, 11% de leis e portarias, 26% de publicações e recomendações de organismos nacionais e internacionais, a partir das quais se conformaram quatro eixos gerais de discussão, contemplando as temáticas: aspectos demográficos, impactos na saúde, atenção primária e avaliação em saúde. Concluiu-se que países como o Brasil têm experimentado um aumento populacional de idosos, sem uma adequada preparação para esta realidade. A Saúde Pública é um setor sobremaneira afetado, sobretudo pelo aumento de doenças crônicas, hospitalização e a dependência, comuns entre aqueles indivíduos. A Atenção Primária em Saúde tem um papel fundamental na assistência ao emergente grupo de idosos, mas ações devem ser empreendidas para fortalecê-la, destacando a criação e manutenção de mecanismos de avaliação.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade de vida no trabalho e os principais fatores correlacionados em pessoas com deficiências físicas. Tratou-se de estudo transversal, realizado em 2012, em serviço de referência em reabilitação de pessoas com deficiência, localizado em João Pessoa, na Paraíba. A amostra foi composta por 110 indivíduos que responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico; utilizou-se uma escala validada para avaliar a qualidade de vida no trabalho. Para análise dos dados, efetuaram-se os testes Alfa de Cronbach, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin e esfericidade de Bartlett. O índice de consistência interna da escala se mostrou satisfatório (α=0,85), atestando a confiabilidade do instrumento utilizado. A matriz de correlações entre os itens da escala revelou a possibilidade de sua fatorialização (KMO = 0,60) e Bartlett (p

This study aimed to describe the dispersion of scientific publications (inter) national geriatric nursing, applying the Law of Bradford. The bibliometric study, was conducted between May / July 2011, on the bases: BDENF, CidSaúde, IBECS, LILACS, MedCarib, MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO, using the keywords: Nursing, Nursing Care, Elderly, Elderly Health, and Geriatrics. Data were collected by two independent reviewers by filling out a form. There was obtained a sample of 324 scrolls (A) distributed in 98 journals (P) listed in four productivity zones: High (A = 91, P = 2) Mean (A = 84, P = 8); Low (A = 34, P = 90) and very low (A = 54, P = 54). It was found that the United States and Brazil edited the largest number of journals and articles, respectively. It was observed a decreasing profitability between values and zones of the Bradford´s multiplier: 4, 4.25, and 1.59. The results indicate that there is dispersion in the nursing literature, regarding the production of articles on gerontogeriatry. Moreover, it is relevant the Brazilian scientific production, compared to developed countries. It is recommended to encourage the expansion of specialized journals in the subject of this study, in order to minimize the dispersion, by grouping items for the formation of a solid corpus of knowledge in geriatric nursing.

OBJETIVO: Compreender o significado do envelhecimento para idosos encarcerados. MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado entre os meses de julho e dezembro de 2011, com idosos reclusos no sistema penitenciário do Estado da Paraíba. A amostra foi encerrada em 11 sujeitos, com auxílio da técnica de saturação das informações. Para coleta de dados, utilizaram-se um formulário sociodemográfico e entrevista semiestruturada. Conduziu-se a análise dos discursos sob a ótica da Análise de Conteúdo. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se predominância de idosos na faixa-etária entre 60 e 65 anos, casados, com média de seis filhos, católicos, possuidores de algum tipo de renda, alfabetizados, com média de confinamento de três anos e regularidade no recebimento de visita. Após a análise dos discursos, conformaram-se as categorias: significado do envelhecimento para idosos e ser idoso encarcerado. CONCLUSÕES: O significado do envelhecimento para idosos encarcerados relaciona-se a sentimentos de melancolia, angústia e constantes perdas, bem como pela impossibilidade de qualquer tipo de desenvolvimento. A dificuldade para exercer atividade laboral, a diminuição do convívio familiar e os conflitos intergeracionais corroboram a perda da qualidade de vida dos idosos no cárcere. As significações negativas quanto ao envelhecimento encontradas neste estudo assemelham-se as dos idosos libertos, porém são evidenciadas e, por vezes, potencializadas pelo encarceramento.

OBJECTIVE: Describe the bibliometric profile of the national and international scientific production of Geriatric Nursing. METHOD: Bibliometric study in BDENF, IBECS, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed, and SciELO databases, using the descriptors: nursing, nursing care, elderly, elderly health and geriatrics. We selected 324 manuscripts, which were managed in the program JabRef Reference Manager 2.5, and the data was submitted to statistical analysis using the SPSS software.

Most of these studies were classified into evidence levels 4 and 5, and largely published in Qualis A1, A2 and B2 journals. CONCLUSION: The scientific nursing production on Geriatrics is growing, but there is a need for nurses to develop research considering the international literature, and interdisciplinary issues related to independence, social inclusion and health of the elderly.
