Abstract(s)
O projeto “Envelhecer no lugar: Vozes que constroem novos caminhos” foi desenvolvido numa Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas, contando com a participação ativa de diversos atores institucionais. Ao longo de todo o processo, privilegiou-se uma abordagem de Investigação-Ação Participativa, de natureza colaborativa e implicativa, na qual a escuta, o diálogo e a partilha, constituíram pilares da coconstrução.
Alicerçado no conceito de «ageing in place», compreendido como o “desejo de envelhecer num ambiente familiar e adaptável que se adapte às modificações que o processo de envelhecimento traz consigo” (Fonseca, 2020, p. 26), este projeto teve como finalidade a promoção de práticas institucionais alinhadas com o paradigma do «ageing in place», potenciando a autonomia, o sentimento de pertença e o empoderamento dos residentes na construção de uma vivência significativa. Neste sentido, foram definidos dois objetivos gerais: 1) Combater atitudes e práticas de idadismo; 2) Promover a valorização identitária.
Para a concretização destes objetivos, foram desenvolvidas duas ações: “Partilhar para Transformar”; e “Da Memória ao (Re)encontro”.
Com o desenvolvimento destas ações tornou-se evidente que a instituição começou a trilhar um caminho pautado pela participação e valorização individual dos residentes, demonstrando que é possível “envelhecer no lugar”, mesmo em contexto institucional.
The project “Ageing in place: Voices that build new paths” was developed in a Residential Facility for the Elderly, with the active participation of various institutional actors. Throughout the process, a participatory action research approach was favoured, which was collaborative and implicative in nature, in which listening, dialogue and sharing were the pillars of co-construction. Based on the concept of ageing in place, understood as the “desire to age in a familiar and adaptable environment that adapts to the changes that the ageing process brings with it” (Fonseca, 2020, p. 26), this project aimed to promote institutional practices aligned with the ageing in place paradigm, enhancing the autonomy, sense of belonging and empowerment of residents in building a meaningful experience. In this regard, two general objectives were defined: 1) To combat ageist attitudes and practices; 2) To promote identity appreciation. To achieve these objectives, two actions were developed: “Sharing to Transform” and “From Memory to (Re)encounter.” With the development of these actions, it became evident that the institution began to follow a path guided by the participation and individual appreciation of residents, demonstrating that it is possible to “age in place” even in an institutional context.
