O presente relatório é desenvolvido no âmbito do estágio em Gerontologia Social, cujo
principal objetivo é desenvolver competências profissionais e aprofundar conhecimentos que
foram sendo adquiridos ao longo do mestrado.
O estágio realizou-se numa Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI) privada situada
na freguesia de Carvoeiro, no concelho de Viana do Castelo, que abriu em abril de 2020.
Com base numa metodologia de Investigação-Ação, que privilegia os discursos, perceções e
vivências dos atores sociais que integram esta realidade, procurou-se identificar os problemas
e as necessidades. O conhecimento construído com os idosos e profissionais da Instituição
permitiu a conceção e desenvolvimento de um projeto que tem duas ações.
A primeira, o trabalho direto com os utentes, que visou retardar as perdas cognitivas e físicas
dos mesmos, através da Gerontopsicomotricidade. Nesta ação, foi possível verificar a
existência de declínios cognitivos, a nível da atenção, memória, das coordenações motoras
(grossa e fina) e na organização espaciotemporal. Ao longo da implementação das atividades,
observaram-se melhorias nos parâmetros referidos anteriormente, apesar dos entraves
existentes face à pandemia Covid-19.
A segunda ação, visou ajudar a Instituição a perceber se vai ao encontro das necessidades e das
expectativas dos utentes, ou seja, perceber qual o grau de qualidade na sua prestação de
cuidados e serviços. Aqui, constatou-se que os utentes têm uma grande satisfação face aos
cuidados e serviços prestados, apresentando compreensão para com os funcionários.
O projeto possibilitou, também, perceber as questões burocráticas existentes na abertura de
uma Instituição para pessoas idosas, uma vez que se pode acompanhar de perto todo o trabalho
desenvolvido, desde a organização da medicação, arquivamento de faturas, receção de
encomendas, reuniões para candidaturas às vagas existentes, entre outras.
This report is developed as part of the internship in Social Gerontology, whose main objective is to develop professional skills and deepen knowledge that was acquired during the master's degree. The internship took place in a private Residential Structure for Elderly People (ERPI) located in the parish of Carvoeiro, in the municipality of Viana do Castelo, which opened in April 2020. Based on an Action-Research methodology, which privileges the speeches, perceptions and experiences of the social actors that integrate this reality, we sought to identify the problems and needs. The knowledge built with the elderly and professionals of the Institution allowed the design and development of a project that has two actions. The first, direct work with users, which aimed to delay their cognitive and physical losses, through Gerontopsychomotricity. In this action, it was possible to verify the existence of cognitive declines, in terms of attention, memory, motor coordination (thick and thin) and in spatiotemporal organization. Throughout the implementation of the activities, improvements were observed in the parameters referred to above, despite the existing barriers in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The second action, aimed at helping the Institution to understand whether it meets the needs and expectations of users, that is, to understand the degree of quality in its provision of care and services. Here, it was found that users are very satisfied with the care and services provided, showing understanding for employees. The project also made it possible to understand the bureaucratic issues existing in the opening of an Institution for the elderly, since one can closely monitor all the work developed, from the organization of medication, filing of invoices, receipt of orders, meetings for applications existing vacancies, among others.
