Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento da população e a existência de tratamentos mais eficazes para doenças físicas revelam a necessidade de métodos focados na promoção do bem-estar nesta fase de vida. Recentemente, a literatura tem demonstrado que a participação em atividades artísticas está associada a benefícios no bem-estar desta população. Assim, este estudo objetiva caracterizar as experiências de participação de pessoas idosas em atividades artísticas e avaliar o impacto das mesmas no seu bem-estar. Através de uma entrevista semiestruturada, procedeu-se à recolha do relato de três idosos institucionalizados. A análise qualitativa dos dados foi realizada de acordo com os princípios postulados pela Análise Temática, com recurso ao software Nvivo 11. As atividades artísticas mostraram ter influência no bem-estar dos utentes, sendo que este impacto depende das suas expectativas e motivações relativas às atividades. Enquanto os facilitadores para o seu envolvimento prendem-se com aspetos da própria atividade, as dificuldades estão relacionadas com o funcionamento da instituição, a saúde física e a ausência de tempo livre. Este estudo demonstrou ser relevante pois a literatura relativa ao fenómeno é escassa. Constata-se, assim, a importância de proporcionar atividades artísticas nas instituições, além de fornecer informações úteis para promover o envolvimento de idosos institucionalizados em atividades artísticas.

The qualitative analysis of the data was carried out according to the principles postulated by the Thematic Analysis and using the Nvivo 11 software. Arts participation had an impact on their well-being; however, it depends on their expectations and motivations regarding them. The facilitators for their involvement are relate to aspects of the activity and to the people that are enabling it, and the difficulties are related to the functioning of the residence, physical health issues, and lack of free time. As the literature on the phenomenon is scarce, this study proved to be relevant by verifying the importance of providing artistic activities in institutions and the supplying of potentially useful data to promote the involvement of institutionalized elderly in arts participation.
