Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
O presente artigo pretende destacar a importância do suporte social e das redes sociais
na população idosa, reflectindo sobre as características das redes sociais (formais e
informais) que têm ao seu dispor e analisar de que forma as mesmas se podem articular,
com vista a constituírem-se como fontes de apoio efectivas para esta população.
Pretende-se igualmente reflectir sobre uma possível complementaridade das redes de
suporte informal e formal junto da população idosa, a qual, à medida que envelhece vai
necessitando cada vez mais de cuidados diferenciados e integrados.
Pode inferir-se do presente estudo, que o papel pró-activo que o indivíduo desempenha
no seio do seu processo de envelhecimento, dentro da dinâmica do conjunto de
condições pessoais e sociais em que se inscreve, potencia a oportunidade e
adequabilidade da vivência de um envelhecimento bem sucedido, onde o suporte social
e as redes sociais desempenham sem dúvida, um papel fulcral.
