Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento é um fenómeno sociodemográfico característico de determinados
países desenvolvidos, como é o caso de Portugal, acarretando múltiplos desafios para as
sociedades e, em especial aos cuidados e respostas dirigidas à população mais velha. Deste
modo, as limitações e problemas das diversas estratégias, respostas e serviços nacionais e
internacionais dirigidas à população mais velha, associada ao desejo desta população
permanecer na sua habitação e/ou comunidade o máximo de tempo possível, fizeram com que
fossem criados e desenvolvidos projetos inovadores de promoção do ageing in place e, como é
o caso do projeto inovador analisado, baseado no modelo de habitação colaborativa ou
cohousing.
Ao nível metodológico, este projeto de investigação privilegiou a utilização da
metodologia qualitativa, utilizando o método de estudo de caso para analisar o projeto inovador
e a entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de recolha de dados. Neste sentido, foram
realizadas catorze entrevistas aos/às residentes deste projeto inovador. Através da análise de
conteúdo das entrevistas foi possível identificar três grandes domínios de informação: o
domínio anterior à integração do/a residente no projeto inovador, o domínio do projeto inovador
e o domínio do processo de envelhecimento dos/as residentes, sendo que cada domínio é
constituído por várias categorias e subcategorias.
Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o processo de envelhecimento é influenciado por
fatores e determinantes internos e externos, tais como o processo de integração; a capacidade
de fazer um planeamento para o futuro, em especial do período da reforma e/ou reforma; o
estado de saúde e o acesso aos cuidados de saúde; a participação em atividades significativas
com valor social, o voluntariado e na continuação do trabalho a nível formal e/ou informal; o
sentimento de utilidade social; as relações interpessoais; os comportamentos e estratégias de
resolução de problemas; e a tecnologia.
Ageing is a sociodemographic phenomenon characteristic of certain developed countries, such as Portugal, which brings with it multiple challenges for societies and, in particular, for care and responses aimed at the older population. In this way, the limitations and problems of the various national and international strategies, responses and services aimed at the older population, coupled with the desire of this population to remain in their home and/or community for as long as possible, have led to the creation and development of innovative projects to promote ageing in place and, as is the case with the innovative project analyzed, based on the collaborative housing or cohousing. In terms of methodology, this research project favored the use of qualitative methodology, using the case study method to analyze the innovative project and semi-structured interviews as a data collection technique. Fourteen interviews were conducted with the residents of this innovative project. Through content analysis of the interviews, it was possible to identify three main areas of information: the area prior to the resident's integration into the innovative project, the area of the innovative project and the area of the residents' ageing process, with each area comprising several categories and subcategories. The results show that the aging process is influenced by internal and external factors and determinants, such as the integration process; the ability to plan for the future, especially the retirement period; health status and access to health care; participation in meaningful activities with social value, volunteering and continuing to work at a formal and/or informal level; the feeling of social usefulness; interpersonal relationships; problem-solving behaviors and strategies; and technology.
