Abstract

Background and objectives

The elderly physician population is increasing worldwide. Data on how doctors have aged are scarce. The purpose of this study is to evaluate subjective successful aging (SSA) and its correlations with resilience, happiness, and optimism in a sample of older physicians.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was carried out with physicians over 65, through face-to-face interviews. All the volunteers answered the following: Self-rate successful aging; CD-RISC 10; Subjective Happiness Scale; LOT-R; SF-36; and a socio-demographic questionnaire.

Results

The mean of self-rate successful aging in SSA was 8.65 (92.3% over or equal to 7), and significant and positive correlations were found between resilience (r = 0.33) and happiness (r = 0.68). No correlation was found between age subset (young-old x old) or physical limitations and evaluation of SSA.

Conclusion

Physicians evaluated aging as successful regardless of health and limitations. SSA had a positive correlation with resilience and happiness.

医生的衰老状况良好吗?巴西老年医生样本的主观成功衰老、幸福、乐观和恢复力
背景与目的世界范围内老年医师的数量正在增加。关于医生衰老的数据很少。本研究的目的是在一个老年医生样本中评估主观成功衰老(SSA)及其与韧性、幸福感和乐观主义的相关性。方法通过面对面访谈对65岁以上的医生进行横断面研究。所有志愿者回答如下:自我评价成功老龄化;光盘10;主观幸福感量表;LOT-R;SF-36;以及社会人口调查问卷。结果SSA自身衰老成功率平均为8.65(92.3%≥7),复原力(r=0.33)和幸福感(r=0.68)之间存在显著正相关。年龄子集(年轻人x老年人)或身体限制与SSA评估之间没有相关性。结论医生评估衰老是成功的,而不考虑健康和限制。SSA与韧性和幸福感呈正相关。

期刊介绍: The European journal of psychiatry is a quarterly publication founded in 1986 and directed by Professor Seva until his death in 2004. It was originally intended to report “the scientific activity of European psychiatrists” and “to bring about a greater degree of communication” among them. However, “since scientific knowledge has no geographical or cultural boundaries, is open to contributions from all over the world”. These principles are maintained in the new stage of the journal, now expanded with the help of an American editor.
