Abstract(s)
O aumento do número de idosos na sociedade apresenta-se como uma realidade, importa, no entanto, que o idoso seja também valorizado enquanto sujeito ativo. As suas preocupações, as suas necessidades, a sua opinião, os seus hábitos, crenças, costumes e valores não devem ser descurados. Nesta investigação, centramo-nos em duas vertentes: na institucionalização e, especialmente, nas atividades desenvolvidas neste contexto, com e para os utentes.
Procurou-se compreender a importância do desenvolvimento de atividades, na Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Portalegre, na vida dos utentes e, para o efeito, foi importante conhecer as atividades desenvolvidas, bem como a perceção dos diferentes intervenientes (idosos e animador sociocultural) acerca do reflexo que as atividades têm na vida dos indivíduos.
O trabalho encontra-se estruturado em três partes essenciais: o enquadramento teórico, na qual se efetua uma revisão de diferentes contributos teóricos; o estudo de campo, na qual se explicitam as opções metodológicas; e a apresentação e discussão dos resultados, na qual se procede à análise dos dados recolhidos.
Para o desenvolvimento da investigação, recorreu-se ao estudo de caso, e como instrumentos de recolha de dados, ao inquérito por entrevista e por questionário. Os resultados apontam para o facto de a maioria dos inquiridos ocupar o seu tempo livre a conviver com os colegas. Respeitante às atividades desenvolvidas pela instituição, as atividades de música, de dançaterapia, de estimulação cognitiva e as sessões de grupo, são as patenteadas. Infere-se da relevância das atividades desenvolvidas, para a vida dos indivíduos que nelas participam.
The increase in the number of elderly people in society is a reality, however it is important that elderly is also valued as an active person. Their concerns, their needs, their opinion, their habits, beliefs, customs and values should not be neglect. This research is focused on two aspects: the institutionalization and, especially, on the activities undertaken in this context with and for the elderly. We tried to understand the importance of developing activities in Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Portalegre, in the lives of the institutionalized users. We tried to figure out what was the perception of different stakeholders (elderly and socio-cultural animator) about the impact that the activities have in the individuals lives. The research is structured in three main parts: the theoretical framework, which performs a review of different theoretical contributions; the field study, which makes explicit the methodological options; and the presentation and discussion of results, the analysis of the collected data. For the development of the research, it was used the study case, and as tools of data collection, interview and survey by questionnaire. The results point to the fact that the majority of participants occupy their free time hanging out with colleagues. Concerning to the activities carried out by the institution, music activities, dance therapy, cognitive stimulation and group sessions are the most referred. We can conclude that, the activities carried out, for the life of the individuals participating in them, are extremely relevant.
