Abstract(s)
Vivemos numa época em que já não restam dúvidas de que as sociedades estão a
envelhecer a grande velocidade. Por isso, haverá cada vez mais idosos e progressivamente,
com idades mais avançadas. Daí o interesse em perceber quem são estes idosos e como
vivem. O presente estudo desenvolveu-se com o objetivo de perceber se existe diferenças na
perceção de qualidade de vida em idosos com e sem atividades regulares. A amostra foram
120 pessoas com mais de 65 anos, residentes no concelho de Guimarães. Os resultados
obtidos revelaram diferenças entre os dois grupos, nomeadamente, que os idosos com
atividade regular, fora de casa, apresentam melhor qualidade de vida percebida. Por isso,
promover a qualidade de vida das pessoas idosas, implica motivá-las à participação regular
em atividades nomeadamente, sociais, recreativas e lúdicas.
We live in an age when there is already no doubt that societies are aging at great speed. Therefore, there are more elderly people and these are reaching more advanced ages. This is why we were interested in understanding who these seniors are and how they live. The present study was developed with the objective of understanding if there are significant differences between the perception of life quality of the elders with and without regular activities. The sample was 120 people over 65 years old, living in Guimarães municipality. The results revealed variances between the two groups that showed that elders with regular activities outside their homes tend to perceive their life quality as better. For that reason, promoting life quality of the elderlies implies motivating them to regularly participate in social, recreational and ludic activities.
