Introduction: the process of rapid population aging poses new challenges for the health care system. Objective: to evaluate the social support to older adults belonging to the family medical office 58 of the Policlínico Docente Universitario Luis Augusto Turcios Lima, Pinar del Río. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study was conducted in older adults belonging to the family medical office 58, of the aforementioned health area between 2018 and 2019. A total of 154 individuals were studied by means of probabilistic, simple random sampling, complying with the selection criteria. The documentary review and application of the social support test, allowed obtaining data that gave an output to the variables analyzed, resorting to descriptive statistics. Medical ethics were respected.
Results: 24,7 % of the older adults belonged to the 75-79 years age group, predominantly female (57,8 %), and those individuals with unfinished primary schooling (47,4 %), according to schooling. 56,0 % of the families were in the 75-79 years age group. 56,0 % of the families were incomplete extended families, 61,7 % were medium-sized, and 59,1 % of the families had somewhat frequent social support. Seventy-four percent of the paranormative crises present in the families of the older adults were due to disorganization, with moderately deteriorated social resources in 55,8 % of the older adults.
Conclusions: levels of social support were somewhat frequent in the population studied, characterizing the family as the fundamental cell of society, specifying the importance of social support in the elderly and in the family itself.
