Abstract(s)
A presente investigação enquadra-se na temática do envelhecimento ativo e da perceção que homens e mulheres médicos pertencentes ao serviço público e ao serviço privado, têm acerca deste envelhecimento. Adicionalmente, é também objetivo de estudo compreender a diferença de condições proporcionadas pelo sistema nacional de saúde e pelo serviço privado, aos profissionais pertencentes a esta categoria profissional e compreender as diferenças de perceção existentes acerca das práticas de gestão de recursos humanos e do envelhecimento ativo, entre mulheres médicas e homens médicos. O estudo de caráter qualitativo, tem como participantes homens e mulheres a exercerem funções na medicina, com idade acima dos 55 anos, justificando-se esta opção pela necessidade de compreensão das questões abordadas e identificação das condições e vivências laborais atuais. Posto isto, os resultados sugerem que os médicos relatam transformações decorrentes do processo natural do envelhecimento (menor resistência física e mental, maior cansaço e desgaste) mas é o processo de envelhecimento decorrente do trabalho que assume maior relevância (excesso de exigência face à sua capacidade de resposta e resistência física/psicológica, falta de reconhecimento da carreira, subvalorização/discriminação). Verifica-se que são as mulheres que mais referem vivências negativas de envelhecimento e condições adversas, quando comparadas com os homens. Por fim, conclui-se, que são os médicos do sistema público que relatam estar mais vulneráveis ao envelhecimento decorrente do trabalho que desempenham, descrevendo condições laborais que promovem a aceleração do declínio decorrente do envelhecimento natural.
The aim of this study is to understand the perceptions that medical doctors, from the public and private sectors, have about active aging, as well as the perceived differences in work conditions in the national health system versus the private service Moreover, differences in perceptions regarding human resource management practices and active aging, between female and male doctors are also investigated. This qualitative study includes medical doctors from both genders aged over 55 years old. The methodological option is justified by the need to understand the complexity of the issues to be addressed and by the need to identifying the current working conditions and working experiences. Results indicate that physicians report transformations resulting from the natural aging process (lower physical and mental resistance, increased tiredness and weariness) but it is the aging process due to the work they perform which is prominent (over-demanding work due to their inability to function, decreased physical / psychological response and stamina, lack of career recognition, undervaluation / discrimination). The results also suggest that women report more negative experiences of aging and adverse conditions than men. Finally, doctors in the public sector are more vulnerable to aging due to their work, as their working conditions promote the acceleration of decline due to natural aging.
