Resumo(s)
O presente estudo tem com objetivo conhecer as práticas adotadas pelas pessoas do meio rural para promover um envelhecimento saudável, identificando as estratégias que utilizam no seu quotidiano. Recorreu-se a uma metodologia qualitativa, com uma amostragem de tipo não probabilística, composta por 10 idosos residentes nos concelhos de Trancoso e Mêda. A recolha de dados foi realizada através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, posteriormente sujeitas a análise de conteúdo. A maioria dos idosos deste estudo (80% da amostra), referiram que participam em alguma atividade e/ou projeto. Os resultados evidenciam a importância das redes de apoio social e da participação social, sendo estes elementos fundamentais para a promoção de um envelhecimento saudável. Apesar de viverem em contexto rural, a principal limitação identificada pelos participantes foi a falta de transporte, não tendo sido apontados outros obstáculos relevantes associados a esta condição. Pelo contrário, todos percecionam o seu envelhecimento de forma saudável, valorizando as atividades diárias que lhes permitem manter-se ocupados de forma ativa e integrados na comunidade.
This study aims to understand the practices adopted by rural people to promote healthy aging, identifying the strategies they employ in their daily lives. A qualitative methodology was used, with non-probability sampling, consisting of 10 elderly individuals living in the municipalities of Trancoso and Mêda. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, which were subsequently subjected to content analysis. The majority of the elderly individuals in this study (80% of the sample), reported participating in some activity and/or project. The results highlight the importance of social support networks and social participation, as these are fundamental elements for promoting healthy aging. Despite living in a rural context, the main limitation identified by the participants was the lack of transportation, and no other significant obstacles associated with this condition were identified. In contrast, all perceive their aging as healthy, valuing daily activities that allow them to remain actively occupied and integrated into the community.
