âSer avĂŽâ Ă© um acontecimento marcante, apesar de ser cada vez mais raro. Os netos sĂŁo uma fonte
de estimulação para os avĂłs, contribuindo para a luta contra o declĂnio do envelhecimento e
proporcionando-lhes uma melhor qualidade de vida. De modo a compreender se a existĂȘncia de netos tem
de fato implicaçÔes na qualidade de vida dos avós, realizåmos um estudo do género descritivocomparativo.
A investigação foi dividida em duas fases: na 1ÂȘ fase, foi utilizada uma abordagem
quantitativa, o instrumento usado para avaliação foi o âWHOQOL-Brefâ, proposto pela OMS e validado
para a população portuguesa, em conjunto com um inquérito por questionårio a 25 sujeitos com netos e
25 sujeitos sem netos, pertencentes ao Distrito de Lisboa; na 2ÂȘ fase, foi usada uma abordagem
qualitativa, aplicĂĄmos uma entrevista semidiretiva a 5 indivĂduos com netos e 5 indivĂduos sem netos,
pertencentes ao Concelho da Amadora. Os resultados evidenciam não haver diferenças significativas
entre os grupos estudados. Contudo, foi possĂvel observar certas diferenças e semelhanças entre os grupos
e, assim, obter informaçÔes interessantes acerca destes.
âBe grandparentâ 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 âWHOQOL-Brefâ, 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.
