Resumo: | Objective: To analyze the social representations of old age, aging and being old according to elderly men and women. Methodology: This is a qualitative research, using the Theory of Social Representations by Serge Moscovici, with elderly people living in a middle class neighborhood in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador – Bahia – Brazil. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview script, with open questions formulated by the researchers, which were recorded and transcribed in full and underwent thematic content analysis. Results: The 60 research participants – 30 men and 30 women – had an average of 73 years and 72 years, respectively. As for the investigated social representations, the following categories emerged: old age as natural life process, physical limitation/tiredness and subjective issue; aging as accepting finitude with limits and changes, having wisdom/experience and time to spend/live a lot; and being old as time of life having passed/having more limitations, having experience of life/wisdom and thinks they don't have to learn or do anything else/lose optimism. Conclusion of the study: The social representations of the researched aged people are different regarding the main categories that we highlight, with contents related to social knowledge/practices linked to human development, limitations, the passage of time, wisdom and subjective issues. We understand from the results that being old is a challenge for the participants in view of the negative consequences pointed out, sometimes naturalized, sometimes presented as socially constructed and experienced in everyday life at this stage of human development, so much so that, generally, they don’t recognize themselves as old. |

Metodología: Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, utilizando la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales de Serge Moscovici, con personas mayores que viven en un barrio de clase media de la Región Metropolitana de Salvador - Bahía - Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de un guion de entrevista semiestructurado, con preguntas abiertas formuladas por los investigadores, las cuales fueron grabadas y transcritas íntegramente y sometidas a análisis de contenido temático. Resultados: Los 60 participantes de la investigación, 30 hombres y 30 mujeres, tenían un promedio de 73 años y 72 años, respectivamente. En cuanto a las representaciones sociales investigadas, surgieron las siguientes categorías: vejez como proceso de vida natural, limitación física / cansancio y cuestión subjetiva; envejecimiento como aceptar la finitud con límites y cambios, tener sabiduría / experiencia y tiempo para gastar / vivir mucho; y ser viejo como haber pasado un momento de la vida / tener más limitaciones, tener experiencia de vida / sabiduría y pensar que no tiene que aprender ni hacer nada más / perder optimismo. Conclusión del estudio: Las representaciones sociales de los ancianos investigados son diferentes en cuanto a las principales categorías que destacamos, con contenidos relacionados con saberes / prácticas sociales vinculadas al desarrollo humano, limitaciones, paso del tiempo, sabiduría y cuestiones subjetivas. Entendemos por los resultados que ser viejo es un desafío para los participantes, en particular, en vista de las consecuencias negativas señaladas, a veces naturalizadas, a veces presentadas como socialmente construidas y vividas en la vida cotidiana en esta etapa del desarrollo humano, tanto así que, en general, no se reconocen como viejos.Objetivo: Analisar as representações sociais sobre a velhice, o envelhecer e o ser velho segundo homens e mulheres idosos. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando a Teoria das Representações Sociais de Serge Moscovici, junto a pessoas velhas residentes em bairro de classe média na Região Metropolitana de Salvador – Bahia – Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado, com questões abertas formuladas pelos pesquisadores, que foram gravadas e transcritas integralmente e passaram por análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: Os 60 participantes da pesquisa – 30 homens e 30 mulheres – apresentaram uma média de 73 anos e de 72 anos, respectivamente. Quanto às representações sociais investigadas, emergiram, principalmente, as seguintes categorias: a velhice como processo natural de vida; limitação física/cansaço; e questão subjetiva; o envelhecer como aceitar finitude com limites e mudanças; ter sabedoria/experiência; e tempo passar/viver bastante; e o ser velho como tempo de vida ter passado/ter mais limitações; ter experiência de vida/sabedoria; e acha que não tem que aprender ou fazer mais nada/perder otimismo. Conclusão do estudo: As representações sociais dos idosos pesquisados são diferentes quanto às principais categorias que destacamos, com conteúdos relacionados a conhecimentos/práticas sociais vinculados a desenvolvimento humano, limitações, passagem do tempo, sapiência e questões subjetivas. Compreendemos com os resultados que ser velho é um desafio para os participantes, em especial, tendo em vista as consequências negativas apontadas, ora naturalizadas, ora apresentadas como socialmente construídas e experienciadas no cotidiano nessa fase do desenvolvimento humano, tanto que, geralmente, não se reconhecem como velhos.Research, Society and Development2021-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2370910.33448/rsd-v10i16.23709Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 16; e339101623709Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 16; e339101623709Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 16; e3391016237092525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/23709/20987Copyright (c) 2021 Lúcia Vaz de Campos Moreira; Julio Cesar Cruz Collares-da-Rocha; Rafael Cerqueira Fornasierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoreira, Lúcia Vaz de CamposCollares-da-Rocha, Julio Cesar CruzFornasier, Rafael Cerqueira2021-12-20T11:03:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23709Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:29.671451Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
