Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve como objetivo explorar a relação entre o bem-estar psicológico (BEP), a satisfação com a vida (SV) e a qualidade das respostas sociais em adultos mais velhos institucionalizados. Foi conduzido um estudo quantitativo, correlacional e transversal, envolvendo uma amostra de 70 participantes de ambos os sexos, com idades superiores a 65 anos e sem défices cognitivos, residentes na zona Norte de Portugal. Para a recolha de dados, aplicaram-se quatro instrumentos: um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida, o Questionário Geral de Bem-Estar Psicológico - versão reduzida, e um questionário construído pela equipa de investigação sobre a qualidade das respostas das ERPIs. Os resultados indicaram que indivíduos com menor nível de escolaridade e os institucionalizados por iniciativa própria presentaram níveis mais elevados de BEP e SV, respetivamente. Além disso, observou-se que a distância da residência está associada a menores níveis de BEP. As implicações sugerem que a qualidade das respostas sociais influencia diretamente a SV dos institucionalizados, destacando a importância de intervenções que promovam o bem-estar nas instituições. Estes resultados podem orientar políticas e práticas sociais que visem melhorar a qualidade de vida dos adultos mais velhos institucionalizados.
This study aimed to explore the relationship between psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and the quality of social responses among institutionalized older adults. A quantitative, correlational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted, involving a sample of 70 participants of both genders, all aged over 65 and without cognitive deficits, residing in the Northern region of Portugal. Data collection was carried out using four instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the General Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire - short version, and a questionnaire developed by the research team to assess the quality of responses from Elderly Residential Care Facilities. The results indicated that individuals with lower levels of education and those institutionalized by their own initiative showed higher levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction, respectively. Additionally, an association was found between the distance from their previous 6 residence and psychological well-being levels, with lower psychological well-being levels observed in individuals living farther away. The findings suggest that the quality of social responses directly influences the life satisfaction of institutionalized individuals, highlighting the importance of interventions aimed at promoting well-being in care facilities. These results can guide policies and social practices aimed at improving the quality of life for institutionalized older adults.
