Abstract(s)
O fenómeno do envelhecimento da população é, atualmente uma das principais
problemáticas a nível mundial, com principal relevância para os países desenvolvidos.
Este fenómeno é caracterizado por um vasto conjunto de alterações fisiológicas,
psicológicas e sociais. Pelo exposto torna-se importante que se promovam estratégias
que contribuam para o envelhecimento ativo e o bem-estar dos idosos.
O presente trabalho de investigação avaliou o impacto das novas tecnologias como
forma de combate ao isolamento social.
Para o efeito estudou-se a ciência que opera nessa área – a Gerontotecnologia e a
forma como esta promove o bem-estar dos idosos, um envelhecimento ativo e restringe
as suas limitações.
A investigação realizada permitiu a planificação de um projeto que reúne a teoria e a
põe em prática.
O projeto “Cabo da Boa Esperança” é o resultado de uma investigação que mostra
ser possível edificar um projeto de cariz social que vai de encontro aos objetivos da
gerontotecnologia: a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos idosos e a prática de um
envelhecimento ativo e integrante na sociedade atual. Em suma, coloca o idoso num
novo papel social que necessita de uma interação geracional.
The aging phenomenon of the population is, nowadays, one of the most problematic worldwide, with special attention to the developed countries. This phenomenon is marked by a huge group of physiological, psychological and social change. As mentioned above, becomes important to promote strategies that contribute to an active aging and well-being of the aged people. This investigation work measured the impact of the new technologies as a way of fight the social isolation. To achieve this goal, the human being studied the science that works in this area - the Gerontechnology and the way that promotes the well- being of old ones, an active aging and decreases their limitations. The search allows the planning of a project that combines the theory and puts it into practice. The project "Cabo da Boa Esperança” is the result of an investigation that show the possibility to build a social project that goes into the targets of Gerontechnology: improving the quality of life of older ones and the practice of an active aging and included in today's society. Concluding, it puts an older human in a new social role that needs an interaction between generations.
