Esta Dissertação, tem como principal enfoque a consciencialização da importância de
promover o envelhecimento ativo dos idosos institucionalizados com a participação da
Comunidade. Desta forma, na presente investigação, são abordados diversos subtemas
que incidem essencialmente sobre o idoso e, a sua qualidade de vida, bem-estar e
envelhecimento ativo do mesmo. Como será possível verificar, mediante esta
investigação, são necessárias estratégias para mitigar a perda de funções associadas
inevitavelmente à idade. Neste sentido, torna-se fulcral estimular, entre outras, a
dimensão cognitiva e motora do idoso para que este seja capaz de envelhecer de forma
ativa e saudável. Com efeito, é de realçar a necessidade de uma estimulação contínua de
todo o corpo, de modo que sejam atingidos o equilíbrio e a harmonia, fundamentais à
manutenção de uma vida o mais saudável possível durante o maior tempo possível, com
os contributos da Comunidade local numa perspetiva de desenvolvimento comunitário.
Face ao exposto, considerou-se pertinente utilizar, nesta investigação, a metodologia de
investigação qualitativa com recurso a um estudo de caso, em que a recolha de dados
baseou-se na realização de uma entrevista ao Diretor de uma Estrutura Residencial para
Pessoas Idosas e, ainda, a realização de inquéritos por questionário, com respostas abertas
e fechadas, dirigidos às técnicas da Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas, em que se
realizou a investigação. A análise e interpretação destes dados foram realizadas mediante
a técnica de análise de conteúdo e, para a sua validação, a triangulação de dados. Os
resultados obtidos permitiram, identificar e perceber as estratégias que a Estrutura
Residencial para Pessoas Idosas em parceria com a Comunidade local implementa para
promover o envelhecimento ativo nos idosos desta Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas
Idosas e, ainda, compreender como aqueles contribuem para o desenvolvimento
comunitário.
This dissertation focuses primarily on raising awareness of the importance of promoting active aging among institutionalized elderly people through participation in the community. Thus, this research addresses several subtopics that essentially focus on the elderly and their quality of life, well-being, and active aging. As this research shows, strategies are needed to mitigate the loss of functions inevitably associated with age. In this sense, it is essential to stimulate, among other things, the cognitive and motor skills of the elderly so that they are able to age actively and healthily. In fact, it is important to emphasize the need for continuous stimulation of the whole body in order to achieve balance and harmony, which are fundamental to maintaining the healthiest possible life for as long as possible, with the contributions of the local community from a community development perspective. In view of the above, it was considered appropriate to use, in this research, qualitative research methodology with recourse to a case study, in which data collection was based on an interview with the Director of a nursing home and also on questionnaires, with open and closed questions, addressed to the nursing home staff, where the research was carried out. The analysis and interpretation of these data were carried out using content analysis techniques and, for validation purposes, data triangulation. The results obtained made it possible to identify and understand the strategies that the nursing home, in partnership with the local community, implements to promote active aging among the elderly residents of this nursing home and also to understand how these strategies contribute to community development.
