Sexualidade e envelhecimento : atitudes e comportamento sexual no idoso

Abstract

Neste estudo pretende-se perceber a relação entre atitudes e comportamento sexual no idoso e examinar as diferenças de género quanto ao comportamento e atitudes sexuais. É também objectivo deste estudo explorar a associação\relação entre as variáveis comportamento sexual e algumas socio-demográficas como a escolaridade e o estado cívil. Este estudo é exploratório, de tipo correlacional, uma vez que o objectivo do mesmo é explorar a associação entre variáveis. Participaram neste estudo 215 idosos com idades compreendidas entre os 64 e os 91 anos numa amostra não probabilística de conveniência obtida pelo sistema bola de neve. O material utilizado foi um questionário sócio-demográfico e um Questionário de Atitudes e Comportamentos Sexuais, ambos construídos para o efeito. Os resultados demonstram a existência de associação entre atitudes e comportamentos sexuais no idoso. Verifica-se que os homens apresentam maior comunhão, são mais permissivos, mais instrumentalistas e são mais activos sexualmente do que as mulheres. Não se comprova que um elevado nível de escolaridade está fortemente associado a uma vida sexual activa. Comprova-se, ainda, que a falta de parceiro é um factor impeditivo à actividade e interesse sexual.

ABSTRACT: elderly and to examine gender differences regarding sexual behavior and attitudes. It is also a goal of this study to explore the association between sexual behavior and some sociodemographic variables such as education and marital status. This study is exploratory and correlational type, since the aim is to explore the association between variables. Were participants in this study 215 elderly aged between 64 and 91 years in a non-probability convenience sample obtained by the system snowball. The material used was a sociodemographic questionnaire and a Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors questionnaire, both developed for the purpose. The results prove the existence of an association between attitudes and sexual behaviors in the elderly. It appears that men have greater communion, are more permissive, more instrumentalists and are more sexually active than women. There is no evidence that a high level of education is strongly associated with an active sex life. It has been clarified yet, the lack of a partner is a factor preventing them from sexual activity and interest.
