Abstract The aim of the study is to assess the quality of life of elderly individuals with hypertension and diabetes Mellitus. A total of 371 elderly individuals with hypertension and/or diabetes who are being treated in the public primary health care network, with a mean age of 71 years, M = 71, 34 (SD = 6.848) participated in this study. It is a quantitative-qualitative study, carried out in two stages. In the first, the quantitative data were collected using the following instruments: WHOQOL-bref, Mini Mental State Exam, and a sociodemographic questionnaire, in order to screen the second stage participants (13 elderly individuals), who corresponded to the qualitative strategy, using the focal group technique. The results showed that the elderly individuals without hypertension/diabetes had higher quality of life mean values. Those affected by both diseases presented the worst ‘physical’ domain mean values. Qualitative data indicate the ‘social’ and the ‘psychological’ domains as the most important ones, also revealing the centrality of the disease in their reports.

RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer a percepção acerca do processo de Acreditação no cotidiano da equipe de Enfermagem de um hospital universitário nas dimensões avaliativas de estrutura, processo e resultado. Método: estudo quantitativo, exploratório e descritivo, com 563 profissionais. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se a Escala de Likert e o tratamento dos dados foi realizado por meio de estatística descritiva e o teste Alpha de Cronbach. Resultados: na análise dos resultados, observou-se que a equipe de Enfermagem demonstrou percepção com maior grau de favorabilidade para a dimensão de processo, com escore médio 0,7463 (dp±0,1466); seguida pelas dimensões resultado, com 0,7256 (dp±0,1804), e estrutura, com 0,6800 (dp±0,1714), evidenciando que os benefícios derivados da Acreditação Hospitalar são reconhecidos pelos membros da equipe de Enfermagem. Conclusão: os escores menos favoráveis residiram na dimensão estrutura, requerendo maior atenção dos gestores, tendo em vista que uma estrutura mais adequada aumenta a probabilidade de uma assistência de melhor qualidade. O estudo permitiu compreender o contexto da Acreditação Hospitalar no ambiente da prática sugerindo possíveis intervenções para a melhoria desse processo.

Method: a quantitative, exploratory and descriptive study, with 563 professionals. For the data collection, the Likert Scale was used and data treatment was carried out using descriptive statistics and the Cronbach Alpha test. Results: in the analysis of the results, it was observed that the Nursing team showed a perception with a higher degree of favorability for the process dimension, with a mean score of 0.7463 (sd ± 0.1466); followed by the result dimensions, with 0.7256 (sd ± 0.1804), and structure, with 0.6800 (sd ± 0.1714), showing that the benefits derived from Hospital Accreditation are recognized by the members of the Nursing team. Conclusion: less favorable scores resided in the structure dimension, requiring more attention from managers, since a more adequate structure increases the probability of better quality care. The study allowed for the understanding on the context of Hospital Accreditation in the environment of the practice suggesting possible interventions to improve this process.

Summary Health care has witnessed considerable progresses toward quality improvement over the past two decades. More precisely, there have been global efforts aimed to improve this aspect of health care along with experts and decision-makers reaching the consensus that quality is one of the most significant dimensions and features of health system. Quality health care implies highly efficient resource use in order to meet patient’s needs in terms of prevention and treatment. Quality health care is provided in a safe way while meeting patients’ expectations and avoiding unnecessary losses. The mission of continuous improvement in quality of care is to achieve safe and reliable health care through mutual efforts of all the key supporters of health system to protect patients’ interests. A systematic approach to measuring the process of care through quality indicators (QIs) poses the greatest challenge to continuous quality improvement in health care. Quality indicators are quantitative indicators used for monitoring and evaluating quality of patient care and treatment, continuous professional development (CPD), maintaining waiting lists, patients and staff satisfaction, and patient safety.
