Abstract(s)
A resiliência permite a superação de múltiplas dificuldades ao longo da vida, e a
adaptação das pessoas de forma saudável ao seu contexto, capacitando-as para lidar
positivamente com circunstâncias potencialmente prejudiciais (Ralha-Simões, 2017).
Assume especial importância na velhice, também pelo seu potencial de priorizar a
produção de saúde das pessoas (Vieira, 2016), e reconhecendo o quão desafiadora é esta
etapa do desenvolvimento humano, não só do ponto fisiológico e social, mas também
psicológico e existencial (Vieira, 2010). É neste sentido que surge o trabalho “Resiliência
em Pessoas Idosas”, com o objetivo de «conceber um programa de educação em
resiliência a implementar com pessoas idosas que frequentam a Escola de Educação
Sénior - IHSénior.». Dele fazem parte os seguintes objetivos específicos: i) avaliar a
resiliência em pessoas idosas que frequentam a Escola Sénior, através da aplicação da
Escala de Resiliência Adaptada para a População Adulta Portuguesa; ii) identificar os
fatores que os/as participantes considerem ser protetores da sua resiliência; iii) analisar
o entendimento das pessoas idosas sobre a resiliência humana e sua relação com a saúde,
no decorrer da intervenção educativa implementada. O seu desenvolvimento pressupõe
a implementação de cinco sessões educativas nas quais se abordam temáticas como
resiliência humana (resiliência enquanto processo), fatores de risco e fatores protetores,
autoestima e perseverança, entre outros, relacionados com a resiliência no contexto do
envelhecimento ativo e saudável. Tem por base numa metodologia de natureza mista,
englobando, no que diz respeito à análise de dados, a abordagem quantitativa, em virtude
da aplicação da Escala de Resiliência adaptada para a população Adulta Portuguesa de
Deep & Pereira (2012), articulada ainda com a análise de conteúdo dos dados
obtidos/registados ao longo das sessões. Os resultados esperados são discutidos em
função do quadro teórico de suporte adotado na conceção do programa. Como referem
Teixeira, Dias, Castro, Freitas e Araújo (2015), urge aprofundar aspetos como a resiliência
nas pessoas idosas, direcionando o olhar para os seus contextos de vida e procurar
compreender melhor a sua adaptação a esta fase das suas vidas. Julga-se assim pertinente
e oportuno o desenvolvimento de programas de intervenção que busquem a manutenção
das capacidades resilientes das pessoas idosas, bem como a ampliação dos níveis de
conhecimento sobre a área de resiliência no envelhecimento humano, para melhorar a
qualidade de vida e autoestima desta população.
Resilience allows the overcoming of multiple difficulties throughout life, and the adaptation of people in a healthy way to their context, enabling them to deal positively with potentially harmful circumstances (Ralha-Simões, 2017). It assumes special importance in the aged, also because of its potential to prioritize people's health production (Vieira, 2016), and recognizing how challenging this stage of human development is, not only from a physiological and social point of view, but also psychological and existential ( Vieira, 2010). It is in this sense that the work “Resilience in Elderly People” emerges, with the objective of “designing a resilience education program to be implemented with elderly people who attend a Senior Education School - IHSénior.”. The following specific objectives are part of it: i) to evaluate the resilience in elderly people who attend the Senior School, through the application of the Adapted Resilience Scale for the Portuguese Adult Population; ii) identify the factors that the participants consider to be protective of their resilience; iii) analysis of the understanding of elderly people about human resilience and its relationship with health, during the educational intervention implemented. Its development presupposes the implementation of five educational sections in which topics such as human resilience (resilience as a process), risk factors and protective factors, self-esteem and perseverance, among others, related to resilience in the context of active and healthy aging are addressed. It is based on a mixed methodology, encompassing, in terms of data analysis, a quantitative approach, due to the application of the Resilience Scale adapted for a Portuguese Adult population of Deep & Pereira (2012), also articulated with the content analysis of the data obtained / registered through the classes. The expected results are discussed according to the theoretical framework of support used in the design of the program. As applicants Teixeira, Dias, Castro, Freitas and Araújo (2015) urge to deepen aspects such as resilience in the elderly, looking at their life contexts and seeking to better understand their adaptation to this phase of their lives. It is therefore considered pertinent and opportune the development of intervention programs that seek to maintain the resilient resources of the elderly, as well as the expansion of levels of knowledge about the area of resilience in human aging, to improve the quality of life and self-esteem of this population.
