Evolução da institucionalização de políticas de segurança de sistemas de informação na administração pública portuguesa

As administrações públicas manipulam cada vez mais, grandes quantidades de informação em suportes tecnológicos, por isso são imprescindíveis controlos de segurança cada vez mais rigorosos e abrangentes. De entre as medidas de segurança, as políticas assumem na literatura um papel central. Todavia, um estudo de 2010 aponta a existência de um reduzido número de Câmaras Municipais que têm implementadas políticas de segurança de sistemas de informação [1]. Este artigo contribui para comparar os dados desse estudo com dados de 2016 através da apresentação dos resultados de um inquérito feito à Administração Pública Local em Portugal. Os resultados são discutidos à luz da literatura e identificam-se trabalhos futuros com vista a potenciar a adoção de políticas de segurança na Administração Pública.

Quality of life in institutionalized elderly undergoing an active aging program

Living with quality is a growing concern of the old population. There is an increasing institutionalization of the elderly, and it is in this context that active aging programs assume relevance, allowing the elderly the contact with experiences that allow them to age with quality of life, by maintaining their autonomy and promoting their physical, mental and emotional well-being. This study aims to assess the quality of life of institutionalized elderly undergoing to an active aging program. Methods: We have developed a semi-experimental study that considers the quantitative methodology in which the following instruments were used to measure the quality of life: Eurohis-Qol-8 (Pereira, Melo, Gameiro, & Canavarro, 2011) and Whoqol-Old (Vilar et al., 2010), to which sociodemographic and clinical questions were added. Assessments were made in two different moments, before and after the intervention program, in a sample of 37 institutionalized elderly. Results: Concerning the assessment of quality of life related to health (Eurohis-Qol-8), significant higher scores were obtained in the second moment (p = 0.004). Regarding the quality of life related to the elderly significant better scores were also obtained in the second assessment (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The results obtained allow us to conclude that using either of the measuring scales of Eurohis-Qol-8 or Whoqol-old, there is a perceived improvement in quality of life in those using the active aging program. Thus, institutionalized elderly must be the main target in the design and implementation of active aging programs.
