Que papel ocupa o idoso na sociedade? Questionar o papel do idoso num momento em que, num variado conjunto de países o número de idosos aumenta de forma significativa, importa questionar qual o significado social desse aumento quantitativo. Esta pergunta conduziu ao tema de investigação “O papel do idoso institucionalizado antes e após a institucionalização”.
A investigação visa obter respostas sobre eventuais mudanças nos papéis sociais do idoso, aquando da transição para um quadro de institucionalização, bastante diverso daquele que anteriormente constituía o seu quotidiano. Deste modo, na investigação de índole qualitativa, abordam-se dois períodos distintos: o período antes e o período após a sua institucionalização, na perspetiva do idoso. Esta estratégia permite uma análise detalhada e precisa dos papéis sociais dos idosos antes e depois da sua institucionalização, de acordo com trajetórias de vida diversas, heterogéneas.
Para que haja uma intervenção eficaz nas instituições residenciais para idosos, é fundamental primeiro compreender que cada individuo está envolto numa trajetória e história de vida, a compreensão sobre os papeis sociais e a forma como este o perceciona é importante para um envelhecimento saudável, que combata o idadismo, especialmente em uma sociedade caracterizada pelo envelhecimento estrutural.
Explorar cientificamente o impacto da institucionalização no papel social dos idosos no contexto académico, pode contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento na área e fornecer uma base sólida para futuras investigações e práticas baseadas em evidências científicas.
What role does the elderly person occupy in society? Questioning the role of the elderly at a time when, in a wide range of countries, the number of older people is increasing significantly means questioning the social meaning of this quantitative growth. This question led to the research topic “The role of the institutionalized elderly before and after institutionalization.” The research aims to obtain answers about possible changes in the social roles of the elderly during the transition to a framework of institutionalization, which is quite different from the one that previously constituted their daily life. Thus, the investigation addresses two distinct periods: the period before and the period after institutionalization, from the perspective of the elderly person. This strategy allows for a detailed and precise analysis of the social roles of older people before and after their institutionalization, according to their diverse and heterogeneous life trajectories. For effective intervention in residential institutions for the elderly, it is first essential to understand that each individual is unique, surrounded by a personal life history and trajectory. Understanding social roles and how these are perceived is important for healthy ageing, helping to combat ageism, especially in a society characterized by structural ageing. Scientifically exploring the impact of institutionalization on the social role of the elderly within the academic context can contribute to advancing knowledge in this area and provide a solid foundation for future research and practices based on scientific evidence.
