Falar sobre o aceleramento do envelhecimento demográfico e das suas implicações
económicas, sociais e políticas é cada vez mais comum nas sociedades contemporâneas.
Embora o processo de envelhecimento fique marcado pelo declínio geral das capacidades
físicas e psíquicas do individuo, cada vez mais, existe a preocupação em garantir aos
idosos não apenas maior longevidade, mas também felicidade, satisfação pessoal e a
qualidade de vida.
A presente investigação tem como objetivo avaliar um projeto de inovação social
denominado “Antes de morrer quero…” enquanto processo que promove a felicidade, o
bem estar e a qualidade e vida das pessoas idosas. Para tal recorre-se a aplicação de
entrevistas, realizados aos idosos que participam no projeto e à equipa técnica, assim
como a outras fontes documentais. O método utilizado para a recolha de dados foi o estudo
de caso e a análise de dados qualitativa.
Os dados sugerem um impacto positivo do projeto na promoção do bem-estar,
felicidade e qualidade nos participantes.
Talking about the acceleration of demographic aging and its economic, social and political implications is increasingly common in contemporary societies. Although the aging process is pronounced by the general decline of the individual's physical and mental capacities, there is an increasing concern about ensuring that the elderly not only have greater longevity, but also happiness, personal satisfaction and quality of life. The aim of this investigation is assessing a social innovation project called "Before I Die ..." as a process that promotes happiness, well-being and quality of life of the elderly. For this purpose, we use the interviews with the project participants and the technical team, as well as other documentary sources. The method used for data collection was a case study and qualitative data analysis. The data suggest a positive impact of the project in promoting well-being, happiness and the quality of life of the participants.
