Resumo: | A reduction in social contact among the elderly can result in unhealthy social isolation, and an increase in depressive symptoms. To combat this problem, services for the elderly are emerging, but little is yet known about the factors that affect the use of these services and the contribution of these programs to reduce social isolation. On the basis of the literature review, a new instrument was constructed to evaluate the extent to which older people who are engaged in activities outside the family circle feel that these involvements create opportunities to be more active, more competent, meet new people, form new friendships, learn new skills, do something they enjoy, or to do something related to their personal interests. The overall objectives of the current study were to: a) compare the perceptions of users and non-users of services for the elderly, with respect to their perceptions of the adequacy of their opportunities for social contact outside the family, and b) to determine if elderly people with more positive perceptions of these activities also report fewer depressive symptoms. Participants included 60 people aged 65 years or older (15 female and 15 male service users, and 15 female and 15 male non-users), all residing in a small city with approximately 122.000 inhabitants, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. All respondents obtained scores equal to or above their cut-off score on the Mini Mental State Examination, such that all participants presented normal cognitive functioning. After signing the consent form, the participants responded to instruments about their financial status, physical and mental health (Brazilian Socioeconomic Criteria, Katz Scale of ADL, the PAQ and the Geriatric Depression Scale). Next, participants rated the extent to which their nonfamily activities meet their needs for social inclusion. The two groups were highly similar with respect to socioeconomic status, education, and functionality levels. The main findings indicate that both users and non-users of services for the elderly reported a high level of satisfaction with their non-family activities. In addition, average ratings of their opportunities for social inclusion were high in both groups, but those who used services for senior citizens had fewer depressive symptoms than those who did not use these services, which is coherent with some other studies that point to the positive effects of attending universities for senior citizens. As such, the primary contribution of this study was to initiate more detailed work, to identify and better understand how to create opportunities for the social inclusion of the elderly. |

Para combater este problema, estão surgindo serviços para a terceira idade, mas ainda contamos com poucos estudos sobre os fatores que afetam o uso destes serviços e a contribuição dos mesmos para reduzir a sensação de isolamento social. Pautado na literatura revisada, construiu-se um instrumento para averiguar se idosos engajados em atividades extrafamiliares consideram que estas criam oportunidades para se sentir mais ativo, mais competente, falar com pessoas novas, fazer novas amizades, aprender algo novo, fazer o que gosta, fazer o que interessa. Os objetivos gerais desta pesquisa foram: a) comparar a percepção de idosos usuários e não usuários de serviços para a terceira idade, em relação à adequação de suas oportunidades para contato social extrafamiliar e b) verificar se pessoas com percepções mais positivas acerca destas atividades apresentam um menor número de sintomas depressivos. Coletou-se dados com 60 participantes (15 mulheres e 15 homens que usavam serviços para a terceira idade, e 15 mulheres e 15 homens que não usavam estes serviços), todos com 65 anos ou mais de idade, residentes em uma cidade pequena com cerca de 122.000 habitantes, no interior do estado de São Paulo. Todos apresentaram um escore igual ou superior à sua nota de corte no Mini Exame do Estado Mental, de forma que nenhum respondente tinha indícios de comprometimento cognitivo. Após assinarem o Termo de Consentimento, responderam instrumentos para obter informações sobre suas condições financeiras, físicas e de saúde mental (o Critério Brasil 2013, o Índices Katz e Pfeffer e a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica). Depois, responderam um roteiro de entrevista para verificar sua percepção da adequação das atividades que praticavam para suprir suas necessidades de inclusão social. Os dois grupos eram muito similares em termos de escolaridade, nível socioeconômico e nível de funcionalidade. Enquanto resultados principais, observou-se que tanto os usuários como os não usuários de serviços para a terceira idade apresentaram alto nível de satisfação com as atividades desenvolvidas fora do convívio familiar. Além disso, todos os idosos que praticavam atividades extrafamiliares avaliaram positivamente as oportunidades para se manter socialmente incluídos, mas aqueles que frequentavam serviços para a terceira idade apresentaram menor número de sintomas depressivos, o que está em acordo com alguns outros estudos sobre os efeitos positivos de frequentar as Universidades Abertas para a Terceira Idade, por exemplo. Sendo assim, considera-se que a principal contribuição deste estudo foi de iniciar trabalhos mais criteriosos para identificar e avaliar fatores que geram experiências de inclusão social entre idosos.application/pdfporUniversidade Federal de São CarlosPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia - PPGPsiUFSCarBRPsicologiaEnvelhecimentoDepressãoServiços para idososAgingSocial inclusionDepressionServices for seniorsCIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIAPercepções de inclusão social entre idosos usuários e não usuários de serviços destinados à terceira idadePerceptions of social inclusion among older users and non-users of services for the elderlyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da UFSCARinstname:Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR)instacron:UFSCARORIGINAL5926.pdfapplication/pdf1672040https://{{ getenv "DSPACE_HOST" "repositorio.ufscar.br" }}/bitstream/ufscar/6051/1/5926.pdf5cf8fe59610bb4b31eb2150fb8605f95MD51TEXT5926.pdf.txt5926.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain0https://{{ getenv "DSPACE_HOST" "repositorio.ufscar.br" }}/bitstream/ufscar/6051/2/5926.pdf.txtd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427eMD52THUMBNAIL5926.pdf.jpg5926.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg5932https://{{ getenv "DSPACE_HOST" "repositorio.ufscar.br" }}/bitstream/ufscar/6051/3/5926.pdf.jpg3e1384f64e169f3a96c57a74b6919986MD53ufscar/60512019-09-11 04:19:45.889oai:repositorio.ufscar.br:ufscar/6051Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://repositorio.ufscar.br/oai/requestopendoar:43222023-05-25T12:50:46.312178Repositório Institucional da UFSCAR - Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR)false |
