Abstract(s)
“Ser avô” é um acontecimento marcante, apesar de ser cada vez mais raro. Os netos são uma fonte
de estimulação para os avós, contribuindo para a luta contra o declínio do envelhecimento e
proporcionando-lhes uma melhor qualidade de vida. De modo a compreender se a existência de netos tem
de fato implicações na qualidade de vida dos avós, realizámos um estudo do género descritivocomparativo.
A investigação foi dividida em duas fases: na 1ª fase, foi utilizada uma abordagem
quantitativa, o instrumento usado para avaliação foi o “WHOQOL-Bref”, proposto pela OMS e validado
para a população portuguesa, em conjunto com um inquérito por questionário a 25 sujeitos com netos e
25 sujeitos sem netos, pertencentes ao Distrito de Lisboa; na 2ª fase, foi usada uma abordagem
qualitativa, aplicámos uma entrevista semidiretiva a 5 indivíduos com netos e 5 indivíduos sem netos,
pertencentes ao Concelho da Amadora. Os resultados evidenciam não haver diferenças significativas
entre os grupos estudados. Contudo, foi possível observar certas diferenças e semelhanças entre os grupos
e, assim, obter informações interessantes acerca destes.
“Be grandparent” It is a remarkable event, even though it is less common in these days. The grandchildren are a source of stimulation to the seniors, contributing against the aging and providing them a better quality of life. In order to understand, if the existence of grandchildren has implication in the quality of life in the senior people, we conducted a study of descriptive and comparative gender. The research was segregated into two phases: in the first phase, it was used a quantitate approach, the instrument used for the first phase evaluation was “WHOQOL-Bref”, proposed by the WHO and validated to the Portuguese people, together with a questionnaire of 25 individuals with grandchildren and 25 individuals without grandchildren, belonging to Lisbon District; in the second phase, it was used a qualitative approach, we applied an semi-structured interview to 5 individuals with grandchildren and to 5 individuals without grandchildren, belonging to Amadora Region. The obtained results showed no significant differences between the studied groups. However, it was possible to observe some differences and similarities between the groups, and get interesting information about those.
