Abstract(s)
O aumento do número de adultos mais velhos é uma realidade cada vez mais
visível em Portugal e no Mundo, resultante do aumento da esperança média de vida. O
envelhecimento acarreta consigo alguns aspetos inquietantes como o isolamento social e
a solidão que afetam a qualidade de vida deste grupo etário. Assim sendo, é necessário
procurar respostas que garantam um envelhecimento saudável à população.
Neste relatório relata-se a experiência de estágio no Projeto Porto.Importa-se que
tem como principal objetivo combater o isolamento social nos adultos mais velhos
residentes em habitação social, gerida pela Domus Social, de acordo com os critérios de
seleção (isolados com 70 ou mais anos e/ou casais com 75 ou mais anos de idade).
De forma a efetuar o levantamento das necessidades sociais e habitacionais, foi
aplicado um inquérito por questionário aos inquiridos que compunham a amostra. Para
proceder à recolha destes dados teve-se em atenção aos propósitos éticos que norteiam a
intervenção, de forma a salvaguardar a informação recolhida.
Dos dados recolhidos foi possível concluir que mais de metade dos inquiridos
encontra-se em risco de isolamento social. Dos 163 inquéritos aplicados, constatou-se que
97 indivíduos vivem sozinhos e que 71 afirmam sentir-se sós.
Abordamos, ainda, neste trabalho as atividades implementadas com a finalidade
de colmatar determinadas lacunas identificadas no decorrer do estágio e que têm como
objetivo final garantir uma melhor intervenção e subsequentemente combater o
isolamento social.
The increase of the number of elderlies is a visible reality in Portugal and the World, resulting from the rise in the average life expectancy. Aging brings with it some disturbing aspects such as social isolation and loneliness that affect the quality of life of this age group. Therefore, it is necessary to look for answers that guarantee healthy aging for the population. This report describes the internship experience at Porto.Importa-se that has as main objective combat social isolation in older adults living in social housing, managed by Domus Social, in accordance with the selection criteria (isolated with 70 or over and/or couples aged 75 or over). In order to survey social and housing needs, a questionnaire survey was applied to the respondents who made up the sample. To collect this data, attention was paid to the ethical purposes that guide the intervention, to safeguard the information collected.

Of the 163 surveys carried out, it was found that 97 individuals live alone and 71 say they feel alone. In this work, we also address the activities implemented with the purpose of filling certain gaps identified during the internship and whose ultimate objective is to guarantee better intervention and subsequently combat social isolation.
