Resumo(s)
O contexto atual da população idosa é caracterizado por um crescimento demográfico
significativo, resultante do aumento da longevidade e da diminuição das taxas de
natalidade. Este cenário gera diversos desafios sociais, como a necessidade de cuidados
de saúde adequados, a adaptação das infraestruturas urbanas e a promoção da inclusão
social desta faixa etária. Neste âmbito, as Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social
assumem um papel cada vez mais relevante na resposta a esses desafios, oferecendo
suporte e recursos específicos para a população idosa através de programas e iniciativas
que visam a sua inclusão social. Entre esses programas destacam-se os centros recreativos
e educativos, os serviços de apoio, bem como projetos intergeracionais que aproximam
jovens e idosos, promovendo a partilha de vivências e o reforço das relações sociais e
comunitárias. A valorização da inclusão social da população idosa pelas Instituições
Particulares de Solidariedade Social origina múltiplas vantagens, entre as quais se destaca
a diminuição do isolamento e da carência afetiva, promovendo o equilíbrio mental e
emocional. O presente trabalho de investigação teve como finalidade examinar a
relevância da Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social na promoção da inclusão
social da população idosa. Para tal, adotou-se uma metodologia de natureza mista,
centrada num estudo de caso como abordagem principal. Para a recolha de dados, foram
utilizadas várias técnicas, incluindo entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação não
participante, inquérito por questionário e conversas informais, com vista à obtenção de
informações com maior rigor e profundidade. Os resultados obtidos permitem contribuir
para a orientação de futuras práticas e políticas que reforcem a relevância das Instituições
Particulares de Solidariedade Social na construção de uma sociedade inclusiva e no
cuidado diário à população idosa. Em conclusão, esta investigação procura evidenciar
percursos possíveis para a edificação de uma sociedade pautada pela equidade e
solidariedade, onde os idosos possam viver com dignidade, usufruindo de uma
participação ativa na comunidade.
The current context of the elderly population is characterised by significant demographic growth, resulting from increased longevity and declining birth rates. This scenario creates several social challenges, such as the need for adequate healthcare, the adaptation of urban infrastructure and the promotion of social inclusion for this age group. In this context, private social solidarity institutions are playing an increasingly important role in responding to these challenges, offering specific support and resources to the elderly population through programmes and initiatives aimed at their social inclusion. These programmes include recreational and educational centres, support services, and intergenerational projects that bring young people and older people together, promoting the sharing of experiences and strengthening social and community relationships. The promotion of social inclusion of the elderly by Private Social Solidarity Institutions has multiple advantages, among which the reduction of isolation and emotional deprivation stands out, promoting mental and emotional balance. The purpose of this research was to examine the relevance of private social solidarity institutions in promoting the social inclusion of the elderly population. To this end, a mixed methodology was adopted, centred on a case study as the main approach. Various techniques were used to collect data, including semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, questionnaire surveys and informal conversations, with a view to obtaining more accurate and in-depth information. The results obtained contribute to guiding future practices and policies that reinforce the relevance of Private Social Solidarity Institutions in building an inclusive society and in the daily care of the elderly population. In conclusion, this research seeks to highlight possible paths for building a society based on equity and solidarity, where older people can live with dignity and enjoy active participation in the community.
