Abstract(s)
O aumento exponencial da população idosa na sociedade atual, e as mudanças nela
verificadas, desafiam os profissionais desta área a desenvolverem um conjunto de hard e
soft skills a fim de serem bem-sucedidos. Nesse sentido, a expressão da intimidade e
sexualidade dos idosos, que historicamente ficou impregnada de mitos e preconceitos,
exige dos técnicos da Gerontologia Social um cuidar cada vez especializado e
humanizado. No entanto, constatou-se que não existe um estudo sobre a relação entre as
soft skills e a perceção sobre a intimidade e sexualidade. Por isso, este estudo tem como
objetivo descrever e analisar a relação entre as soft skills dos Diretores Técnicos (DT) das
Estruturas Residenciais para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI), e a sua perceção sobre a sexualidade
nos idosos instituicionalizados. Para isso, recorreu-se a desenho quantitativo, com a
aplicação de três questionários a uma amostra de (n=208) diretores técnicos das ERPI de
18 municípios portugueses: Questionário Sociodemográfico, Questionário sobre a
Perceção da Intimidade e Sexualidade dos Idosos e Soft skills Inventory(SSI). Após a
recolha dos dados, foram realizadas análises estatísticas tais como, testes de verificação
das hipóteses, o coeficiente de consistência interna Alfa de Cronbach, o teste t de Student
para as amostras independentes, o teste Mann-Whitney e a correlação de Pearson, Shapiro
e Wilck, e o teste de Levene. Os resultados evidenciaram a confirmação das hipóteses
previamente colocadas, o que nos leva a concluir que, existe uma correlação significativa
positiva entre as soft skllis (autorrelização, assertividade, suporte social, trabalho em
equipa, abertura à novidade, resiliência) e a expressão da sexualidade e intimidade. Na
continuidade deste estudo, propomos a realização de estudos empíricos, com
metodologias mistas e com amostras de outros Países de forma a fazer estudos
comparativos.
The exponential increase in the elderly population in today's society and as the changes verified in it challenge professionals in this area to develop a set of hard and soft skills in order to be successful. In this sense, the expression of intimacy and sexuality of the elderly, which has historically been impregnated with myths and prejudices, requires technicians from social gerontology to take care that is increasingly specialized and humanized. However, it was found that there is no studies on the relationship between soft skills and perception on intimacy. Therefore, this study aims to define and analyze the relationship between the soft skills of the technical directors of the ERPI and their perception of the sexuality of institutionalized elderly people. For this, a quantitative design was used, with the application of three questionnaires to a sample (n = 208) of technical directors of ERPI in 18 Portuguese municipalities: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Questionnaire on the Perception of Intimacy and Sexuality of the Elderly and Soft Inventory Skills. After obtaining the data, statistical analyzes were carried out, such as hypothesis verification tests, such as Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient, Student's t test for independent individuals, the Mann-Whitney test and Pearson's correlation, Shapiro and Wilck, and Levene's test. The results show our hypotheses confirmed, which leads us to conclude that there is a significant positive correlation between soft skllis (self-improvement, assertiveness, social support, teamwork, openness to novelty, resilience) and the expression of sexuality and intimacy. In the continuity of this study, it is proposed to carry out empirical studies, with mixed methodologies and with samples from other countries, in order to make comparative studies.
