Resumo

Objetivo: analisar a relação entre fatores sociodemográficos e clínicos com a catastrofização da dor crônica em pessoas idosas amazônidas. Métodos: estudo transversal, realizado com 60 pessoas idosas com dor crônica atendidas em uma unidade básica de saúde. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, usado Short Physical Performance Battery para avaliar o desempenho físico, e aplicado a Escala de Catastrofização da Dor. A análise incluiu estatística descritiva, “teste t” para amostras independentes e “correlação de Pearson”, adotando-se nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: observou-se maior catastrofização da dor entre mulheres, com diferenças nos domínios ampliação e ruminação e no escore total. A idade apresentou correlação negativa com o domínio ampliação. Ter companheiro associou-se à maiores escores de ruminação, enquanto a presença de rede de apoio esteve relacionada a escores mais elevados no domínio ampliação e no escore total de catastrofização. Conclusão: a catastrofização da dor esteve associada a fatores sociodemográficos, com destaque para sexo, idade, presença de companheiro e rede de apoio. Contribuições para a prática: os achados podem orientar o planejamento do cuidado de enfermagem e de intervenções individualizadas no manejo da dor crônica em pessoas idosas, contribuindo para o envelhecimento com qualidade de vida.
