Abstract(s)
Esta tese, realizada no âmbito do Mestrado em Gerontologia Social, do Instituto Superior de Serviço Social do Porto, incide sobre o tema do risco da violência no quotidiano das pessoas idosas. Concretamente, o estudo procura captar e analisar as perceções e atitudes de pessoas idosas relativamente aos riscos de violência a que estão sujeitas no seu dia-a-dia. Num segundo eixo analítico, pretende-se compreender de que forma as respostas sociais podem contribuir para atenuar esses riscos, tendo em conta os usos que os idosos fazem dessas respostas sociais e as perceções que têm relativamente à sua adequação para atenuar contextos de risco.
Será abordado o tema dos riscos sociais no contexto das sociedades envelhecidas, tendo como foco principal o fenómeno da violência.
No plano metodológico, e de forma a obter uma diversidade de situações, as unidades de observação serão segmentadas à partida em dois contextos: 1. Pessoas idosas institucionalizadas (inseridas num quadro social de maior dependência e morbidade) e 2. Pessoas idosas em meio familiar envolvidos ativamente em atividades lúdicas promovidas através de uma Universidade Sénior.
Prevê-se recolher e analisar, nestes dois contextos, testemunhos de doze idosos, do sexo masculino e feminino.
Parte-se da ideia de que as perceções dos entrevistados variam em função da sua condição de autonomia/dependência, género e perfil qualificacional e que, sobretudo no segmento com melhores qualificações, dito de “novos velhos”, deverão prevalecer perceções de desarticulação das respostas sociais face aos riscos sociais, o que resulta em boa medida do facto de as respostas sociais existentes não equacionarem a questão da violência, a partir de uma conceção alargada dos riscos sociais específicos do envelhecimento.
This thesis, carried out within the scope of the Master’s Degree in Social Gerontology, of the Instituto Superior de Serviço Social do Porto, focuses on the risk of violence that arises in the daily life of the elderly. Specifically, the study seeks to capture and analyse the perception and attitude of the elderly regarding the risk of violence they are subject to in their daily lives. A second analytical axis is intended to understand how social response can contribute to attenuate / mitigate these risks, considering not only the use that the elderly make of these social responses but also their perception regarding the social responses’ capability to attenuate risk contexts. Topics such as social risk in the context of aging societies will be addressed, focusing on the phenomenon of violence and social deconstruction of social risk in old age. On a methodological level, to obtain a diversity of situations, the observation units will be segmented initially in two contexts: 1. Institutionalized elderly people (inserted in a social context of greater dependence and morbidity); 2. Elderly people in a family environment, actively involved in recreational activities promoted through a senior university. The testimonials of twelve elderly men and women will be analysed in the above- mentioned contexts. The perceptions of the interviewed varies according to their level of autonomy/dependence, gender and qualification profile. In the segment with higher qualifications, called "new old people", the perceptions regarding the disarticulation between social responses and social risks are largely based on the fact that existing social responses do not address the issue of violence through a broader concept of the specific social risks related to aging.
