It is the presentation of the results verified in the scope of mental health, based on empirical research, through the application of soft care technology conceptualized as Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) circles in an academic community of the Open University of the Third Age (UNATI) of the Western Paraná State University/Foz do Iguaçu in partnership with the Extension Project of the Federal University of Latin American Integration “Integrating UNILA with conversation circles” from 05/04/18 to 05/10/18. The study demonstrated that the psychosocial methodology developed in the ICT circles has the potential to equip participants to face the crisis of integrity, mobilizing a protected scenario to wisely appreciate the path taken in their own lives, understanding and integrating the path of other participants, confronting the experiences, as conscience, from collective experience and overcoming challenges within the same generation.

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.

Resumo: Relato de experiência da intervenção sociocultural no bairro Coronel José Pinto na cidade de Feira de Santana – BA, desenvolvida por dezessete alunas do Programa Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UATI/UEFS). Trata-se de uma estratégia alternativa de ampliação das ações da UATI utilizando-se do potencial das alunas como multiplicadoras para fazer um levantamento sistemático de dados sobre o perfil socioeconômico e cultural de 603 idosos residentes no bairro. Essa iniciativa, sob orientação do Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas da Terceira Idade (NEPTI), tem como eixo norteador a concepção de educação ao longo toda a vida, na perspectiva de delinear pautas sociais e culturais de ação solidária que possibilitem o resgate da consciência social dos idosos na luta pelo reconhecimento de direitos sociais, de sua autonomia, capacidade de integração e participação na sociedade. Constitui-se assim, em um projeto de revalorização do bairro que integra a ação solidária e cidadã das alunas/idosos da UATI e dos idosos residentes no bairro, tendo como resultante das ações empreendidas a criação do Grupo de Convivência Viver Feliz. Palavras-chave: Terceira Idade. Cidadania. Solidariedade. Participação Social.

Secondary Information

Currently, much attention in the field of higher education is paid to the problems of the third stage – postgraduate education. The main problems are: reducing the awarding of scientific degrees, decreasing the reproduction of the personnel capacity of higher school and scientific activities. The purpose of the paper is to study the trajectories of postgraduate education, based on the data of empirical research “Professional trajectories of postgraduate students” at the Dubna State University and at the “National Research University “Higher School of Economics”. The main methods were a sociological survey and analysis of secondary information. Based on the results of the study, a portrait of a modern postgraduate student has been compiled. Two identical studies produced mostly different results. This suggests that there is a need for such research.

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.
