Falar da sexualidade na terceira idade é uma temática ainda ligada a tabus, pois há escassez de menções e diálogos tanto pelos profissionais de saúde como pelos próprios idosos que se intimidam e deixam de praticar a sexualidade pela repressão da sociedade, assim como pela complexidade oriunda de alterações fisiológicas e psíquicas, que também colaboram como grandes fatores para não prática da atividade sexual. Todavia, esse envolvimento de amor, afeto e contato físico estabelece um vínculo de laços prazerosos que precisa ser dialogado no decurso de todas as etapas da vida. Assim sendo, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a produção científica sobre a sexualidade na terceira idade e os problemas enfrentados por essa população, o que engloba e requer dos profissionais da saúde, em especial o enfermeiro como educador nesse processo de envelhecimento e sexualidade, em que  o presente artigo se trata de uma revisão narrativa realizada através da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e consultas aos bancos de dados ScientificElectronic Library Online(SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e na Medical LiteratureAnalysisandRetrieval System Online (MEDLINE).  Como critérios de inclusão foram aplicados: artigos com disponibilidade completa e de origem nacional, bem como relação direta com o estudo. À vista disso é possível levar em consideração o envelhecimento enfrentado positivamente, a prática sexual que aceita, religião e a educação, pois estes são responsáveis pela influência do exercício sexual, devendo ser encorajados por meio de estímulo visual, carícias e afeto, a atividade sexual continua sendo exercida caso o próprio idoso e seu parceiro tenham condições físicas e mentais para permanecerem executando. Visto isso, a sexualidade perdura em construção no decorrer do trajeto do ser humano, e em face desse processo o enfermeiro deve exercer o papel de educador, incluindo o ensino em saúde no ambiente de atuação profissional, no que se refere à educação sexual. Palavras-chave: Terceira Idade. Profissionais de Enfermagem. Educação Sexual. AbstractTalking about sexuality in the third age is a topic still related to taboos, because there is a shortage of mentions and dialogues both by health professionals and by the elderly themselves who are intimidated and stop practicing sexuality due to the repressing society, as well as by the complexity of physiological changes and psychic factors that also collaborate as great factors for non-practice of sexual activity. However, this involvement of love, affection and physical contact establishes a bond of pleasurable bonds that needs to be dialogued throughout all the stages of life. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the scientific production on sexuality in the third age and the problems faced by this population, which encompasses and requires from  the health professionals, especially the nurse as educator in this process of aging and sexuality, when  this article deals with a narrative review carried out through the Virtual Health Library and consultations with the ScientificElectronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs) and the Medical Literature Analysis andRetrieval System Online (MEDLINE), being followed as inclusion criteria: articles with complete availability and of national origin, as well as direct relationship  with the study. Therefore,  it is possible to take into account aging faced positively, the sexual practice which accepts religion and education, as they are responsible for the  sexual exercise influence, these should be encouraged through visual stimulation, caresses and affection, activity continue to be exercised if the elderly and his or her partner have physical and mental conditions. Thus,, sexuality continues to be built during the course of the human being, and in the face of this process, the nurse must exercise the role of educator, including health education in the professional environment, regarding sex education. Keywords: Elderly.

AbstractIn recent years have seen increasing percentage of the elderly in the overall population. This has driven the attention to the lifestyle factors that influence the health and quality of life of this social group, including their nutrition and physical activity. Universities of the Third Age (U3A) are a valuable platform for the dissemination and broadening of the knowledge related to these topics. The nutritional habits of 61 U3A students in Poznań were evaluated on the basis of a modified KomPAN questionnaire. Their nutritional status was determined using the body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) indices. Nearly half of the respondents were overweight and 16% had first degree obesity. The WHR index in women was on average 0.8, while in men it was 1.01. Only 13% of the students declared regular eating, with 60% consuming 4-5 meals a day. Women were found to eat snacks between meals more often than men. It was also found that the majority of the elderly do not add salt to ready meals or sweeten beverages with sugars. Taking into account the observed nutritional problems and the occurrence of improper eating habits of the elderly, it is recommended to continue the education on the prevention of common diet-related diseased.

Abstract Objective: to identify the prevalence of self-medication, the therapeutic classes used without medical prescription, the symptoms treated with such medication and associated factors among participants of an Open University of the Third Age (OU3A). Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was carried out, the sample of which was composed of 138 OU3A attendees. To estimate the association between the variables, prevalence ratios (PR), confidence intervals (95% CI), the chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test were used. Results: the majority were aged 60-69 years (61.6%), were female (75.4%), had a health plan (63%) and claimed to self-medicate (59.4%, 95% CI, 0-64.8). The most frequently mentioned therapeutic classes were analgesics (31.9%), muscle relaxants (13.8%), anti-inflammatories (13.0%) and first-generation antihistamines (7.2%). The most commonly reported self-medication symptoms were muscle and joint pain (21.0%), headaches (10.1%) and colds and flu (8.7%). There was a significant association (p = 0.049) among those who self-medicated more frequently and anti-inflammatory use (PR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.10-1.99). The complaint of muscular and articular pain exhibited a significant association with the diagnosis of arthrosis (p = 0.003, RP = 3.75, 95% CI = 2.07-6.76) and hypothyroidism (p = 0.002, RP = 2.77 ; 95% CI = 1.50-5.10). Conclusion: the most frequently mentioned reasons for self-medicating were previous experience using the drug and the certainty that it is safe. Most of the above medications are potentially inappropriate for the elderly. However, the elderly consider them safe and are unaware of the risks to which they expose them. They may also be unaware that pain treated by self-medication may be related to pre-existing diseases, which require the appropriate professional and treatment.

The Impact

In the present study we examined the associations between beliefs of mastery and 2 important kinds of productive activities in the third age: participation in education, and volunteering. Within the broad concept of mastery beliefs, differential aspects of self-regulatory cognitions were studied, that is, self-esteem, control beliefs, effort to complete behavior, persistence in the face of adversity, and willingness to initiate behavior. Effects of these aspects on carrying out activities were investigated and controlled for the impact of some situational and demographic factors. Findings suggest that a general sense of mastery, as reflected in self-esteem and control beliefs, is not a precondition for study and volunteering work in the third age. However, special components of self-efficacy turned out to play a part. Willingness to initiate behavior emerged as a strong predictor for taking on educational activities, as was persistence in the face of adversity for being active as a volunteer. In the discussion possibilities were looked at fpr how better to match productive activities in later life to personal dispositions.

The population of Brazil and the world is aging. The great challenge is to grow old by maintaining quality of life with health, including oral health. The objective of this study was to identify the recurrent themes in Geriodontics, through a bibliometric survey, using the database of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), conducted in 2016. Geriodontics, as a relatively new specialty, presents major challenges related to the elderly population (oral health, prostheses, periodontics, for example). In view of a historical context of aging and increased elderly population, there is a concern to deepen the studies in relation to the subject. Knowing the problems allows offering a better service with quality and adequate training of the professional.

This paper starts from the contradictions that permeate the Latin American democratic context to dis¬cuss how psychology can contribute to expanding students' agency in public schools located in vulnerable contexts marked by poverty and social exclusion. The contributions of Cultural-Historical Psychology and German Critical Psychology are articulated to substantiate the importance of building participatory spaces for human development. The authors were inserted in a public school from the year 2015 to the year 2017, holding class assemblies with primary school students. The content discussed in these meetings was re¬corded in field diaries, from which three narratives were selected for analysis. The first narrative deals with a discussion of physical education activities; the second presents a student sharing his suffering in the face of bullying as he cries in class; the third reports a discussion about the theft of a pencil. It is concluded that guided by critical perspective, psychology can contribute to the strengthening of subjects, collaborating to the expansion of their agency.

First Time

Education of people of the “third age” is based on the fact that the ability to self-development and understanding of the surrounding world is reduced to the application of previously acquired knowledge in a certain period of time. At the same time, it is believed that a decrease in cognitive abilities and an increase in inaccuracies in motor skills leads to the fact that it is almost impossible to master new knowledge. Determining the extent to which this statement corresponds to psychological and educational attitudes shapes the relevance of the study. The novelty of the research is determined by the fact that, for the first time, it is proposed to approach the topic of education for people of “third age” not only as a problem, which is determined solely for increasing the employment of the population and raising the retirement age. The authors offer to consider the topic of the research as a factor in improving the standard of living and social adaptability of "third age" citizens. Models of university and distance education are considered in the article. The practical significance of the research is determined by the need to develop the issue outlined in the face of crisis and the desire of public administration to identify priorities for the formation of a qualitatively new social model. A model of comparative analysis with foreign models is used in the research as well as and the experience of implementation is offered to be implemented.
