Resumo(s)
O envelhecimento demográfico tem vindo a aumentar ao longo dos anos e,
consequentemente, a vulnerabilidade social. As pessoas idosas enfrentam diversas perdas e
mudanças na sua rotina diária, que podem levar ao isolamento social.
A intervenção em rede reconhece a pessoa idosa como um ser que está em constante
interação com o seu meio físico e social, não existindo de forma isolada (cf. Guédon, 1984:
18 cit in Guadalupe, 2010: 114). Durante a intervenção, o foco é colocado no problema
individual da pessoa idosa, mas a situação-problema é equacionada no seu contexto mais
amplo a estratégia para a mudança não é apenas a nível individual, mas também a nível
comunitário e territorial (cf. Silva, 2001: 15 cit in Guadapule, 2010: 114).
A presente investigação tem como objeto de estudo as pessoas idosas da freguesia de
Alqueidão, Figueira da Foz em situação de isolamento social e as suas condições
existenciais. Tem como objetivo identificar situações de isolamento social das pessoas
idosas de Alqueidão e recensear as respostas sociais locais. Assim, partindo de um
diagnóstico participado por pessoas idosas da freguesia, responsáveis políticos locais e
profissionais de serviços e equipamentos sociais, pretende o desenho de um Projeto de
Integração Social das Pessoas Idosas.
Recorrendo a uma metodologia de investigação-ação e a uma abordagem qualitativa,
foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a sete profissionais de ação social e a
representantes políticos locais e a cinco pessoas idosas que residem sós na freguesia. Destas,
resultou um importante contributo para a construção do diagnóstico social, onde são
identificadas necessidades, potencialidades e novas propostas face à intervenção com as
pessoas idosas.
De forma a apoiar a intervenção em rede dos serviços locais, é realizado o desenho de
um projeto que pretende equacionar respostas em parceria para um Acompanhamento Social
Integrado e Sustentado.
Demographic aging has been increasing over the years and, consequently, so does the social vulnerability. Older people face several losses and changes in their daily routine, which can lead to social isolation. The network intervention recognizes the elderly person as a human being that is in constant interaction with the physical and social environment (cf. Guédon, 1984: 18 cit in Guadalupe, 2010: 114). During the intervention, the focus is placed on the individual problem of the elderly person, but the problem-situation is addressed in the larger context - the strategy for change is not only at the individual level, but also at community and territorial level (cf. Silva, 2001: 15 cit in Guadapule, 2010: 114). The object of this research is the existential conditions of elderly people of Alqueidão, Figueira da Foz in a situation of social isolation. It aims to identify situations of social isolation of the elderly in Alqueidão and to identify local social responses. Therefore, based on a diagnosis with the participation of elderly people, local political leaders and professionals from social services and equipment, it proposes the construction of a Project for the Social Integration of Older People. Using an action-research methodology and a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven social work professionals and local political representatives and with five older people who live alone. The result was an important contribution to the construction of the social diagnosis, in which we can find some needs, potential and new proposals for intervention with the elderly. In order to support the network intervention of local services, the development of this project is carried out to equate partnership responses for an Integrated and Sustained Social Support.
