Abstract(s)
O presente projeto apresenta como objetivo geral a compreensão das perceções de bem-estar em pessoas idosas que apresentam um envelhecimento normal. Relativamente ao procedimento de recolha de dados, foram realizadas 10 entrevistas, contanto com 7 participantes do sexo feminino e 3 do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 68 e os 80 anos. O guião de entrevista semiestruturado foi o instrumento utilizado, constituído por 14 questões, adaptado ao modelo de Carol Ryff, possibilitando explorar seis dimensões: autonomia, domínio do meio, crescimento pessoal, relações positivas com os outros, objetivos na vida e aceitação de si mesmo. Como principais conclusões, verificou-se que a saúde, o domínio do crescimento pessoal, a aceitação de si e as relações positivas com os outros parecem contribuir para uma maior perceção de bem-estar psicológico. Contudo, o fator idade associado aos estereótipos negativos revela-se o maior obstáculo neste processo. Numa lógica de implicações para a prática, seria fundamental contribuir para a definição de uma ética do cuidado com pessoas mais velhas, desmistificando estereótipos negativos dos próprios e da sociedade.
The present project presents as general objective the understanding of well-being perceptions in older people who present a normal aging. Regarding the data collection procedure, 10 interviews were carried out, with 7 female participants and 3 male participants, ranging in age from 68 to 80 years. The semi-structured interview guide was the instrument used, consisting of 14 questions, adapted to the model of Carol Ryff, allowing to explore six dimensions: autonomy, mastery of the environment, personal growth, positive relationships with others, goals in life and acceptance of oneself. As main conclusions, it was verified that health, the domain of personal growth, self-acceptance and positive relationships with others seem to contribute to a greater perception of psychological well-being. However, the age factor associated with negative stereotypes is the biggest obstacle in this process. In a logic of implications for practice, it would be fundamental to contribute to the definition of an ethic of caring for older people, demystifying negative stereotypes of oneself and of society.
