Qualidade do sono de idosos residentes em instituição de longa permanência

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade do sono de idosos residentes em quatro instituições de longa permanência para idosos (ILPI) de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo e identificar problemas relacionados ao sono. Participaram 38 idosos, cujas funções cognitivas estavam preservadas e que residiam nas ILPI há pelo menos um ano. Foram empregues os instrumentos Ficha de Identificação, Índice de Katz e Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI), todos preenchidos pela pesquisadora. Os resultados mostraram que 81,6% dos idosos referiam qualidade do sono boa ou muito boa; entretanto, os seguintes problemas relacionados ao sono destacaram-se por sua elevada frequência: levantar-se para ir ao banheiro (63,2%); acordar no meio da noite ou muito cedo pela manhã (50%); sentir muito calor (23,7%); sentir dores (21,1%). Evidencia-se uma contradição entre a percepção da qualidade do sono e o elevado número de problemas identificados.
