Resumo
O envelhecimento tem início quando começa a perda das nossas capacidades. Desde há alguns anos que Portugal se encontra nos países mais envelhecidos. Quando esta problemática se tornou mais pertinente, com ela veio a importância da ocupação deste grupo social e, deste modo, as atividades ocupacionais ganharam relevo no quadro das estratégias de intervenção com idosos. O envelhecimento ativo surge como um pilar no planeamento de atividades para idosos, tendo procurado, nesta investigação, analisar os efeitos da intervenção com recursos tecnológicos (plataforma SiosLife) e perceber o que leva os idosos a interessarem-se, ou não, pelas atividades desenvolvidas na instituição. Procuro compreender quais as razões que levam os idosos a aderirem ou a afastarem-se das atividades ocupacionais. Para tal, foram observadas as atividades desenvolvidas com e para os idosos na Fundação Francisco António Meireles. Trata-se de uma investigação de carácter qualitativo realizada numa Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas, no concelho de Torre de Moncorvo, distrito de Bragança. A informação foi recolhida através de entrevistas junto de idosos e técnicos envolvidos diretamente no projeto SiosLife.
Ageing begins when we start to lose our abilities. For some years now, Portugal has been one of the oldest countries. As this issue became more pertinent, with it came the importance of the occupation of older adults. Therefore, occupational activities gained prominence when it came to frame intervention strategies with this group. Active aging appears as a pillar in the planning of activities for older adults. In light of that, this investigation aims to scrutinize the effects of the intervention using technological resources (SiosLife platform), and to understand what leads older adults interest in the activities developed in the institution. It is also aimed at understandign the reasons behind the adhesion (or withdrawal) to occupational activities. For this reason, activities developed with and for the elderly were observed at Fundação Francisco António Meireles. This is a qualitative investigation carried out in a Residential Structure for the older adults, in Torre de Moncorvo, district of Bragança. The information was collected through interviews with the older adults and practitioners involved in the SiosLife project.
