Abstract(s)
A presente Dissertação foi realizada no âmbito do Mestrado em Educação e
Desenvolvimento Comunitário para obtenção do Grau de Mestre. Assim, o estudo
realizado tem por objetivo compreender se as respostas sociais relativas à doença de
Alzheimer na Região Autónoma da Madeira são suficientes face ao envelhecimento
populacional que a própria região enfrenta. Esta investigação procurou entender: de que
forma a formação dos trabalhadores e cuidadores das respostas sociais que participaram
na elaboração do estudo pode impactar o desempenho das mesmas; de que modo as
respostas sociais promovem a integração e envolvência de pessoas com Alzheimer no
meio comunitário; e de que modo o envelhecimento ativo pode contribuir para o atraso
de patologias como a doença de Alzheimer.
Assim, esta investigação teve por base uma metodologia qualitativa, a qual assente
na realização de um estudo de casos múltiplos, de modo a possibilitar uma análise
aprofundada e comparativa de todo o conteúdo recolhido nas entrevistas
semiestruturadas, as quais possibilitaram uma visão ampla relativamente à problemática
em foco. De salientar que a recolha de dados foi realizada, através de entrevistas
semiestruturadas, a profissionais pertencentes a 3 entidades regionais e a familiares de
pessoas com Alzheimer. Com efeito, para a elaboração da análise e interpretação de
dados, foram utilizadas a análise de conteúdo e a triangulação de dados.
This Dissertation was conducted within the scope of the Master's Degree in Education and Community Development to obtain the Master's Degree. The study aims to understand whether the social responses related to Alzheimer's disease in the Autonomous Region of Madeira are sufficient in view of the population aging that the region itself is facing. This research sought to understand: how the training of workers and caregivers of the social responses that participated in the study can impact their performance; how social responses enable the integration and involvement of people with Alzheimer's in the community; and how active aging can contribute to delaying pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, this research was based on a qualitative methodology, which was based on a multiple case study, in order to enable a deep and comparative analysis of all the content collected in the semi-structured interviews, which allowed a broad view regarding the problem in focus. It should be noted that the data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with professionals belonging to 3 regional entities and with family members of people with Alzheimer's. This way, data analysis and interpretation were used to analyze and triangulate all the data gathered.
