A presente investigação teve como objetivo dar voz às pessoas idosas, permitindo
identificar o que as mesmas sentem como principais necessidades, independentemente
dos cuidados de saúde especiais, que a sua situação requer.
Procedeu-se nesta circunstância à replicação de um estudo da Joseph Rowntree
Foundation intitulado what people with high support needs value, realizado com o
propósito de compreender o que valorizam e querem as pessoas idosas com necessidades
de apoio elevadas.
Em termos concetuais a investigação apoia-se sobretudo nas questões do envelhecimento
e qualidade de vida dos idosos, particularmente no que respeita ao bem-estar psicológico,
ao bem-estar social e ao bem-estar físico.
O estudo empírico consistiu numa investigação qualitativa baseada em entrevistas com
pessoas idosas com demência e/ou fortes necessidades de apoio na sua vida quotidiana,
residentes num lar na cidade de Lisboa.
A análise de dados privilegia o dar voz às pessoas idosas com necessidades de saúde
especiais, naquilo que mais valorizam nas suas vidas.
Da análise realizada, relativamente ao bem-estar psicológico, os idosos valorizam muito
a sua lucidez, a boa disposição que lhes permite levar a vida de forma descontraída, sendo
importante também ter momentos de sossego e tranquilidade, bem como a autonomia,
liberdade e independência para as suas atividades da vida diária.
Em relação ao bem-estar social destacam-se a vida social e a relação com as suas famílias,
bem como a fé e a participação em festas de animação.
Por ultimo, do bem-estar físico, destaca-se a mobilidade, conforto e segurança e a
importância que dão em sair do lar.
