Resumo: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a popular health education program directed to community seniors with regard to their attitudes toward aging. The program was based on the Paulo Freire methodology and on World Health Organization's active aging policy. It consisted of 16 weekly 150minute sessions offered to two groups of elderly (n=16) aged 60 to 75 years (M=66.88±5.4). Pre-testing, post-testing and follow-up were carried out to measure matters related sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle issues, as well as attitudes toward aging. Content analysis showed a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of negative attitudes, increased positive ones, and an improved perception that aging involves both gains as losses. The results suggest that such interventions can drive the quality of life of seniors by engendering a more positive view of old age itself. The program that was undertaken has also contributed to the daily lives of professionals working in the area of education and health.

O programa foi baseado na metodologia de Paulo Freire e na política de envelhecimento ativo da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Constou de 16 sessões semanais de 150 minutos, oferecidas a dois grupos de idosos (n=16) com 60 a 75 anos (M=66,88±5,4). Foi realizado pré-teste, pós-teste e seguimento contendo medidas sociodemográficas, de saúde, de estilo de vida e de atitudes em relação à velhice. Análises de conteúdo mostraram diminuição estatisticamente significante na frequência de atitudes negativas, aumento das positivas e aumento da percepção de que a velhice comporta tanto ganhos quanto perdas. Os resultados sugerem que intervenções desse tipo podem favorecer a qualidade de vida de idosos, promovendo uma visão mais positiva da própria velhice. O programa desenvolvido também contribuiu para o cotidiano de profissionais que atuam na área de educação e saúde.Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venâncio, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz2022-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tes/article/view/143110.1590/S1981-77462013000200007 Trabalho, Educação e Saúde; v. 11 n. 2 (2013)1981-7746reponame:Trabalho, Educação e Saúde (Online)instname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tes/article/view/1431/586Copyright (c) 2022 Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venânciohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPatrocinio, Wanda Pereira Pereira, Beltrina da Purificação da Côrte 2022-08-30T14:11:56Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1431Revistahttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tesPUBhttps://www.tes.epsjv.fiocruz.br/index.php/tes/oairevtes@fiocruz.br1981-77461678-1007opendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:26.498568Trabalho, Educação e Saúde (Online) - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
