Abstract(s)
Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre o fenómeno do envelhecimento, tendo em linha
de conta que somos um país demograficamente envelhecido e, por isso, é cada vez mais
urgente pensar que se trata de um fenómeno complexo, dependente de um conjunto de fatores
externos e internos associados à vida da pessoa idosa. Neste sentido, foram trabalhados os
conceitos de institucionalização, stress e coping religioso. Utilizamos uma metodologia
qualitativa recorrendo à realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas a 8 idosos em estrutura
residencial para pessoas idosas, com os seus consentimentos. Os dados recolhidos foram
analisados com recurso ao método fenomenológico. Esta diversidade de histórias de vida
levou-nos a perceber sobre o modo como o coping religioso, nomeadamente as estratégias por
ele trabalhadas, podem ajudar a combater o stress nos idosos, quando estes se encontram
institucionalizados. O objetivo desta dissertação foi caraterizar o processo de coping religioso
no processo de envelhecimento e compreender a vivência do stress, acontecimentos de vida e
coping religioso no processo de envelhecimento. Os resultados atingidos por este estudo
levam-nos à conclusão de que o coping religioso tem na maioria dos casos analisados, um
papel positivo, proporcionando melhor adaptação, ajustamento e manutenção do bem-estar
nos participantes envolvidos.
This work aims to reflect on the phenomenon of aging, considering that we are a demographically aged country and, therefore, it is increasingly urgent to think that it is a complex phenomenon, dependent on a set of external factors and associated with the life of the elderly. In this sense, the concepts of institutionalization, stress and religious coping were worked on. We used a qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews with 8 elderly people in a residential structure for elderly people, with their consent. The data collected were analyzed using the phenomenological method. This diversity of life histories has led us to understand how religious coping, the strategies it worked on, can help to combat stress in the elderly when they are institutionalized. The objective of this dissertation was to characterize the process of religious coping in the aging process and to understand the experience of stress, life events and religious coping in the aging process. The results achieved by this study lead us to the conclusion that religious coping has in most cases analyzed a positive role, providing better adaptation, adjustment and maintenance of wellbeing in the participants involved.
