Resumen
La investigación persiguió el objetivo de conocer la relación existente entre ladisponibilidad y utilización de servicios y la calidad de vida de un grupo de personasmayores. La metodología adoptada fue de tipo mixta con diseño convergente o detriangulación de datos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 106 personas mayores de 60años, residentes en la zona Este de la provincia de Mendoza. Para la recolección de datosse aplicó una entrevista semidirigida, el cuestionario WHOQoL para evaluar calidad devida, un instrumento ad hoc de Mapas cognitivos, para evaluar disponibilidad y utilizaciónde servicios y como dato secundario se utilizó un Índice de Calidad de Vida elaboradodesde CONICET. Entre los resultados, destaca el hecho, según se constató, de que lautilización de servicios predice mejor la calidad de vida autopercibida que otras variablesreportadas en investigaciones anteriores, como el género, la edad o la situación de salud.Por otra parte, los tipos de servicios que más colaboran con la calidad de vida son loscomerciales y los físico-recreativos. Estos últimos son en su mayoría de origen estatal ode organizaciones del tercer sector, lo que facilita el acceso.
This research was aimed to understand the relationship among the availability, utilization of services and the quality of life of a group of elderly people. The adopted methodology was a mixed-method approach with a convergent or data triangulation design. The sample consisted of 106 individuals over 60 years old, residing in the Eastern region of the province of Mendoza. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, the WHOQoL questionnaire to assess quality of life, and Ad Hoc instrument of Cognitive Maps to evaluate availability and utilization of services. A secondary data source was the Quality of Life Index developed by CONICET. Among the most important results, it was found that the utilization of services predicts self-perceived quality of life better than other variables reported in previous research, such as gender, age, or health status. The types of services that contribute the most to the quality of life of the individuals are commercial and physical-recreational services, as confirmed by the participants. Lastly, it is worth noting that physical-recreational services are mostly provided by the state or third-party organizations, which facilitate access for the individuals.
