Abstract

FERNANDES BOLINA, Alisson; PARTEZANI RODRIGUES, Rosalina Aparecida; DOS SANTOS TAVARES, Darlene Mara  and  HAAS, Vanderlei José. Indices of social and programmatic vulnerability for older adults living at home. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.65, pp.140-178.  Epub Mar 28, 2022. ISSN 1695-6141.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.477281.

Objectives:

Build Social and Programmatic Vulnerability indices for older people living at home and verify the association of vulnerability components (individual, social and programmatic).

Methods:

It is a population based study, household and transversal survey type, conducted with 701 community older adults. Descriptive and bivariate exploratory spatial analysis was conducted (p≤ 0.05) as well as analysis of Main Components.

Results:

By means of the indices, it was observed that peripheral census tracts presented very high social vulnerability levels and that the main variables representative of the programmatic component - access to dentist via SUS, medications, and search of the same care location. It was verified that only 3.9% of the older adults did not present some level of vulnerability (individual, social and programmatic).

Conclusion:

Older adults are exposed to multiple vulnerability conditions, and Social and Programmatic Vulnerability indices are important tools for managers’ decision making.
