Abstract(s)
Objetivo: identificar atitudes das crianças em relação aos idosos. Método: foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, descritivo,
exploratório e correlacional. Resultados: a população de crianças entre os 3 e os 10 anos. A recolha de dados com alguns dados
sociodemográficos da escala "Galvão" é aplicada na população portuguesa. Amostra com 109 crianças entre os 3 e os 10 anos,
nacionalidade portuguesa e residentes em Portugal. Os resultados mostraram que em média as crianças (24%) apresentam
atitude positiva em relação aos idosos. Este valor esteve próximo do ponto médio da escala (28%), que os coloca numa atitude
moderada. Conclusão: as crianças apresentaram atitudes mais positivas para com os idosos, embora com alguma inconsistência
em algumas dimensões. Pode tornar-se uma contribuição importante para a análise de estereótipos sobre o envelhecimento.
É importante ser capaz de intervir nas atitudes das crianças em relação aos idosos, ajudando as crianças a compreender as
mudanças normais de envelhecimento.
Objective: to identify children’s attitudes towards the elderly. Methods: a quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, correlational study was conducted. Results: the study population was children from 3 to 10 years old. Sociodemographic data were collected and a Galvão scale, validated for the population of Portugal, was applied. The convenience sample comprised 109 children from 3 to 10 years old, of Portuguese nationality and resident in Portugal. On average, the children were found to have a 24% positive attitude towards the elderly. This value was close to the midpoint of the scale (28%), rating their attitude as moderate. Conclusion: the children’s attitudes towards the elderly were predominantly positive, although with inconsistency in some dimensions. This study may become an important contribution to the analysis of stereotypes about aging. It is important to be able to influence children's attitudes towards the elderly and help them understand the normal changes of aging.
