Abstract(s)
O presente estudo integra uma fundamentação teórica onde se procurou analisar as relações familiares e os laços afetivos em idosos que se encontram institucionalizados. Desenvolveu-se uma abordagem teórica acerca de assuntos relacionados com o envelhecimento, o processo de institucionalização e, por sua vez, as relações familiares e afetivas no âmbito da velhice.
De forma complementar, procedeu-se à realização de um estudo empírico que recaiu numa Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas, onde reunimos uma amostra de 20 idosos. A estratégia metodológica é de natureza mista e aplicaram-se dois métodos de recolha de dados, nomeadamente, um questionário sociodemográfico acompanhado por um questionário onde constam questões de cariz familiar, realizado através de uma entrevista estruturada e preenchido pelo entrevistador durante o decorrer da conversa com o entrevistado. Aplicou-se, também, a escala APGAR familiar de Smilkstein (1978).
Os resultados obtidos através do desenvolvimento deste estudo evidenciam que a maioria dos idosos se encontram satisfeitos com o apoio que recebem da família em resposta às suas necessidades e carências mesmo quando institucionalizados. Contudo, revelam um desagrado com a quantidade de visitas que recebem por parte dos familiares. As diferenças entre géneros também são notórias sendo que o género feminino se encontra mais insatisfeito que o género masculino, em todos os aspetos analisados.
The present study integrates a theoretical foundation where an attempt was made to analyze family relationships and affective bonds in elderly people who are institutionalized. A theoretical approach was developed on subjects related to aging, the process of institutionalization and, in turn, family and affective relationships within the scope of old age. In order to complement this study, an empirical study was carried out that fell into a Residential Structure for Elderly People, where we gathered a sample of 20 elderly people. The methodological strategy is of a mixed nature and two data collection methods were applied, namely, a sociodemographic questionnaire accompanied by a questionnaire containing questions of a family nature, carried out through a structured interview, and completed by the interviewer during the course of the conversation with the interviewee. Smilkstein's familiar APGAR scale, constructed in 1978, was also applied. The results obtained through the development of this study show that most elderly people are satisfied with the support they receive from the family in response to their needs and shortcomings even institutionalized. However, reveal that they are dissatisfied with the number of visits they receive from family members. The differences between genders are also notable, with females being more dissatisfied than males, in all aspects analyzed.
