Abstract

Nos últimos anos, têm sido desenvolvidos instrumentos de medição do estado de saúde e da qualidade de vida obtida pela aplicação de programas de saúde, baseados na Teoria da Utilidade. O objectivo deste estudo é a avaliação dos ganhos obtidos com a aplicação de um programa de redução de listas de espera. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 70 doentes e foram aplicados, antes e 3 a 5 meses após a operação, dois instrumentos genéricos (EuroQol e SF-12) e um específico para cataratas (Catquest). Os resultados obtidos evidenciam uma melhoria significativa no estado de saúde específico da maioria dos doentes submetidos à cirurgia. É possível concluir que as percepções do estado de saúde físico e mental dos doentes, a incapacidade visual, a satisfação com a sua visão, a valorização actual da sua saúde e o tipo de cirurgia efectuada são variáveis explicativas da utilidade dos estados de saúde.
