Abstract(s)
O artigo reporta os resultados de um estudo sobre a
integração social das pessoas idosas com autonomia
funcional, na perspectiva do seu bem-estar em contextos
rural e urbano. Principais eixos de análise: a
relação que se estabelece entre os equipamentos sociais
destinados às pessoas idosas e o nível de satisfação
pessoal que Ihes é proporcionado; as condições
de protagonismo pessoal nas relações de afectividade,
convivência e autonomia no ambiente familiar e social
das pessoas idosas.
Os resultados obtidos sugerem a existência de redes
de sociabilidade e solidariedade familiar e de vizinhança,
sentida como mais abrangente no espaço rural. Por
outro lado, as normas rígidas de funcionamento e distanciação
dos grupos familiares dos idosos impostas
pelos equipamentos sociais nada contribuem para a
realizaçao pessoal dos idosos. Além disso, o apoio
assíduo prestado pelos idosos família e especialmente
aos netos torna-se, para eles próprios, numa inestimável
via de integração social, não facilmente reconhecida
mas de enorme valia social.
ABSTRACT: The article reports the results of a study about the social integration of elderly people with functional autonomy, in terms of their well-being in urban and rural environments. Main analysis factors: the relationship established between the social equipments for elderly people and the personal satisfaction leve1 that is felt; the conditions personal protagonism in the elderly people’s afectivity, socialization and autonomy in the family and social environments. The results obtained suggest the existence of sociability and solidarity, both in the family and the neighbourhood levels, felt more strongly in rural environments. Moreover, the strict rules involving the functioning and the distancing of the family groups of elderly people, imposed by social equipment, work negatively on the elderly people’s personal fulfilment. Furthermore, the constant support given by the elderly people to their families and especially to their grandchildren becomes, to themselves, an important way of social integration, not easily recognised but with great social value
