RESUMO:

Aim: To identify the prevalence of the use of antipsychotics in elderly in Nursing Homes in the city of Natal-RN. Methodology: A cross-sectional study based on data from the project "Human Aging and Health: the reality of the institutionalized elderly in the city of Natal / RN", which occurred between October to December 2013 in 10 Nursing Homes of the city of Natal. The sample consisted of 320 residents of Nursing Homes who were 60 years or older who consented to participate in the study. For the identification of factors associated with antipsychotic prescription, bivariate analysis was used using the chi-square test and Poisson regression in which the dependent variable was the number of prescribed antipsychotics. Independent variables included age, gender, type of Nursing Homes (for-profit and non-profit), mental disorder, depressive symptoms, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, functional capacity and morbidities. A multivariate analysis was performed from the Poisson Regression model with robust variance. Results: The prevalence of antipsychotic use among the elderly was 50% (n = 160). In the for-profit institutions, 65.5% (n = 76) of the elderly used at least 1 antipsychotic, whereas in non-profit Nursing Homes, the prevalence was 40.9% (n = 83). Multiple analysis showed that the age of 60 to 79 years (PR = 1.39), had moderate to severe cognitive impairment (PR = 1.78), had a mental disorder (PR = 2.07), had polypharmacy PR = 1.30), being in For-Profit Institutions (PR = 1.51), presented statistical association (p <0.05), to the greater use of antipsychotics in the elderly in the Natal’s Nursing Homes. Conclusion: A high prevalence of antipsychotic use was observed in Nursing Homes in the city of Natal and due to the possible negative outcomes that this may generate, other measures that result in decrease of the prescription of these medications should be evaluated.
