“…In contrast, a lower score was observed in the Environment domain, illustrating the low satisfaction of this population group with the environment in which they live, a result similar to that found in another study with elderly people with DM in Uberaba (Minas Gerais) 7 and with elderly people with DM in the rural part of Bahia 11 . Another study conducted with 277 elderly people in the Distrito Federal also resulted in low QoL scores in the Environment domain, which may be related to the fact that the elderly do not feel safe and protected in their home environment 9 .…”

“…Several factors can influence the QoL of such patients with DM, such as insulin use, age, gender, income, education, complications of the disease, psychological factors, knowledge of the disease and type of health care, among others 1,[6][7][8][9][10][11] . It is also evident that better glycemic control is associated with improved QoL.…”

“…DM is a progressive disease in which the state of health of affected individuals, especially the elderly, tends to deteriorate over time, especially after ten years of living with the disease, when the complications derived from poor glycemic control, which may negatively affect their QoL, can appear 4,9,11 . DM has a significant physical and emotional impact, culminating in the reduction of the autonomy and self-confidence of these individuals, altering their self-perception so that they see themselves as unable to fulfill their objectives, thus reducing their QoL 1,4,12,14 .…”

“…DM has a significant physical and emotional impact, culminating in the reduction of the autonomy and self-confidence of these individuals, altering their self-perception so that they see themselves as unable to fulfill their objectives, thus reducing their QoL 1,4,12,14 . The theme of QoL in elderly patients with DM has already been investigated in many studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] , but there is still a lack of research that compare the QoL of the elderly after living with the disease for a decade. The present study therefore proposes to associate the duration of DM and the QoL of these patients, and the interaction between the domains of QoL, aiming to guide future care of diabetes among the elderly, mainly in the primary health care offered to these individuals.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the quality of life of the elderly with Diabetes Mellitus and to relate the time since diagnosis of diabetes with the quality of life of elderly persons receiving care at a basic health unit. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study carried out in a Basic Health Unit with 196 elderly persons. For data collection, three instruments were used: one structured (sociodemographic and clinical variables) and the Whoqol-bref and Whoqol-old, with scores ranging from 0 to 100. Descriptive statistical analysis, Student's T-test and Pearson's correlation were performed. Results: Of the 196 diabetic patients, the majority were male (54.6%) with a mean age of 67.5 (±6.5) years. The mean time since diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus was 9.1 years. The domains of the Whoqol-bref with the highest scores, indicating better quality of life, were Social Relations and Psychological, while a worse quality of life was observed in Environment.

Objetivo: Avaliar a dor e suas repercussões na qualidade de vida de idosos com Diabetes Mellitus. Método: estudo transversal com 196 idosos com Diabetes Mellitus, em uma unidade básica de saúde do Distrito Federal. Utilizados os questionários de qualidade de vida WHOQOL-OLD e WHOQOL-BREF. Resultados: Dos 196 idosos, 54,6% eram do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 67,4(±6,5) anos, com predomínio entre 60 e 70 anos (72,9%). Por meio das pontuações do WHOQOL-BREF e WHOQOL-OLD, observou-se que aqueles que não relataram dor apresentaram melhores pontuações de qualidade de vida, exceto no domínio físico (M=53,94 e M=59,26) e na faceta autonomia (M=56,68 e M=58,19) p≤0,05. Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou uma influência negativa da dor na qualidade de vida de idosos com Diabetes Mellitus, sendo necessário que os enfermeiros estejam atentos, pois a mesma está intrinsicamente ligada à qualidade do tratamento.
