Abstract(s)
As migrações fazem parte da história da humanidade e são uma constante no mundo contemporâneo. A partir de 1950 os brasileiros começaram a emigrar, frequentemente procurando melhores condições de vida. Esta emigração aumentou nos anos 1980 sendo Portugal um país de eleição para muitos brasileiros. Atualmente vivem em Portugal 92.120 brasileiros com situação regularizada junto aos Serviços de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras. Quando imigra o indivíduo tem de adaptar-se ao novo contexto social e cultural e esse processo poderá influenciar a sua saúde e qualidade de vida. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi conhecer os determinantes da saúde e qualidade de vida de mulheres e homens brasileiros residentes em Lisboa. Método: O estudo é exploratório, descritivo e transversal, com uma amostra não probabilística de 120 imigrantes brasileiros (55,8% mulheres e 44,2% homens), com idades entre os 19 e 64 anos, residentes em Portugal há mais de um ano que concordaram em participar. Foi utilizado um questionário para avaliar os determinantes da saúde e o World HealthOrganization Quality Of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-Bref), questionário abreviado da Organização Mundial da Saúde para avaliar a qualidade de vida destes homens e mulheres. Resultados: Observamos que a adaptação ao novo país é um processo lento, que se processa de diferentes formas e pode influenciar a saúde destes indivíduos. Quanto à qualidade de vida 11,7% dos entrevistados considerou ter uma QdV muito boa, 65,8% boa, 20,8% nem ruim nem boa e 1,7% ruim, sendo diferente a avaliação feita por homens e mulheres. O domínio físico apresentou a média mais elevada (4,01) e o domínio meio ambiente a mais baixa (3,51). Conclusão: É necessário aumentar e melhorar as informações, os recursos e serviços disponíveis para os imigrantes de modo a aumentar a sua saúde e qualidade de vida.

This emigration increased in the 1980s and Portugal is a favorite country for many Brazilians. Nowadays, 92,120 Brazilian lives in Portugal with a regular situation by the Foreign and Border Services. When a person became an immigrant have to adapt to the new context and this process can influence their health and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to identify the determinants of health and quality of life of Brazilian women and men living in Lisbon. Method: The study is exploratory, with a non-probabilistic sample of 120 Brazilian immigrants (55.8% women and 44.2% men) aged between 19 and 64 who lived in Portugal for over a year who agreed to participate. A questionnaire to assess the determinants of health and the World Health Organization Quality Of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-Bref), was used to assess the quality of life of these men and women. Results: We observed that the adaptation to the new country is a slow process, is processed in different ways and can influence the health of these individuals. As for the quality of life 11.7% of respondents considered to have a very good QoL, 65.8% good, 20.8% neither good nor bad and 1.7% bad, and men and women evaluate their quality of life differently. The physical domain had higher average (4.01) and the environment domain the lowest (3.51). Conclusions: We conclude that is necessary to increase and improve the information and resources available to immigrants to increase their quality of life.
