چکیده
Objetivos: Investigar os significados atribuídos por idosos aos conceitos de velhice saudável e de ser feliz na velhice, bem como as associações entre os significados e suas avaliações sobre satisfação global e referenciada a domínios. Método: Esta investigação foi realizada a partir dos dados de um estudo multicêntrico, de corte transversal. As emissões verbais provenientes de amostras representativas de idosos comunitários (N=1.242, com 65 anos e mais), registradas no banco de dados de duas cidades brasileiras, foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo e comparadas com indicadores de satisfação, considerando-se sexo, idade e renda familiar. Resultados: Quatro temas e 14 categorias explicaram os dois conceitos: saúde física e funcionalidade (42,1% das emissões), bem-estar psicológico (25,4%), relações interpessoais (23,5%) e recursos materiais e acesso a serviços de saúde (9,0%). Exceção feita à satisfação e prazer, não foram observadas diferenças quanto às razões de prevalência entre as categorias de significado e pontuação alta em satisfação global. Conclusão: Os dois conceitos suscitaram significados comuns associados a aspectos positivos da velhice e refletiram sobre as avaliações de satisfação, evidenciando que, envelhecer de forma saudável e feliz é mais do que ter saúde, pois envolve também bem-estar psicológico e relações interpessoais.
