- Are social representations of positive ageing really effective? the ageing process through the eyes of elderlyPublication . Soares, Célia Cristina Casaca; Marques, António Manuel; Gomes da Silva, Madalena; Cerqueira, Andreia Filomena Ferreri de Gusmão Gonçalves; Bonança, Íris; Argüello, PatriciaIn this paper we focused on the experiences of ageing from the perspective of elderly people. Our main aims were to explore their perceptions and representations about the ageing experience and to analyse if their conceptions are closer to positive social representations of active ageing or to ageist social assumptions. Thirty-five females (mean age of 80 years) and seven males (mean age of 73 years) participated in this study, recruited in a network of institutions run by the city council of Setubal. Data collection was conducted with structured interviews and the obtained transcriptions were submitted to qualitative thematic analysis. With this analytic approach it was possible to identify dominant themes in participants discourses. Results show that elderly perceive and represent the process of ageing according to a binary perspective, displaying both positive and negative dimensions. Even if the ageing experience is described according to a positive perspective, it is also anchored on ageist social constructions. Thus the positive social representations of ageing expressed through active ageing discourses are still not fully assimilated and integrated on people s self-perceptions and identities.

- Older people’s views and expectations about the competences of health and social care professionals: a European qualitative studyPublication . Soares, Célia Cristina Casaca; Marques, António Manuel; Clarke, Pat; Klein, Regina; Koskinen, Liisa; Krasuckiene, Daine; Lamsodiene, Evelina; Piscalkiene, Viktorija; Küçükgüçlü, ÖzlemAdapting and providing quality services for people as they age is a common challenge across Europe. The perspective of older people is fundamental in a person-centred care approach. Expanding research at the European level that explicitly includes their views can ofer a relevant contribution to the development of evidence-based guidelines that can be shared in education and training across health and social care professions. This study aimed to identify common meaningful dimensions of pro fessional competence in health and social care emphasised by older people from six countries in diferent regions of Europe according to their experiences. A qualitative approach was chosen with a total of 95 semi-structured interviews conducted in Austria, Finland, Lithuania, Portugal, Turkey and UK, following a common topic guide. Participants in this study were aged 60 and above, and recruitment considered age, gender, level of education and living arrangements. Results identifed a set of universal skills and practices that according to older people, health and social care professionals should meet. Competences at the interpersonal level were central in older people’s discourses, and its core dimensions are anchored in relational, com munication and socio-emotional skills of professionals. These fndings reinforce the aspiration of establishing best practices in care that relies on the harmonisation of a competence framework that can be shared in the training and education of health and social care professionals across Europe and that voices older people’s preferences, expectations and needs.
