Resumo: This study aimed to identify and analyze the social representations of the aging among the residents of a former colony hospital in northeast Brazil. There was a participation of 16 people, aged between 48 and 85 years (M = 67.0 years, SD = 9.7). For a data collection, we used a sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed by the Descending Hierarchical Classification method, resulting in 5 classes of semantic approximation. The results indicated that participants represent aging as a stage (old age). Moreover, this representation shows positive and negative elements. In a positive way, old age is quantitatively conceived as synonymous with a long life. Negatively, the interviewees associate this stage with physical and social losses, dependence and increased self-care, a situation that entails personal and social conflicts.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar y analizar las representaciones sociales del envejecimiento entre de un antiguo hospital colonia de noreste brasileño. Se contó con una participación de 16 personas, con edad entre 48 a 85 años (M = 67,0 años, DP = 9,7). Para una recolección de datos, se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico y entrevistas semiestruturadas. Las entrevistas fueron analizadas por el método de la Clasificación Jerárquica Descendente, originando 5 clases de aproximación semántica. Los resultados indicaron que los participantes representan el envejecimiento como una etapa (vejez). Además, esta representación evidencia elementos positivos y negativos. De forma positiva, la vejez se concibe cuantitativamente como sinónimo de una larga vida. Negativamente, los entrevistados asocian esta etapa a pérdidas físicas y sociales, a la dependencia y al aumento del cuidado consigo mismo, situación que acarrea conflictos personales y sociales. Este estudo objetivou identificar e analisar as representações sociais do envelhecimento entre os moradores de um antigo hospital-colônia, do Nordeste brasileiro. Contou-se com a participação de 16 pessoas, com idade entre 48 a 85 anos (M = 67,0 anos; DP = 9,7). Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e entrevistas semiestruturadas. As entrevistas foram analisadas pelo método da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, originando 5 classes de aproximação semântica. Os resultados indicaram que os participantes representam o envelhecimento como uma etapa (velhice). Além disso, esta representação evidencia elementos positivos e negativos. De forma positiva, a velhice é concebida quantitativamente como sinônimo de uma vida longa. Negativamente, os entrevistados associam esta etapa a perdas físicas e sociais, à dependência e ao aumento do cuidado consigo mesmo, situação que acarreta conflitos pessoais e sociais.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2022-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/5395110.23925/2176-901X2021v24i4p31-49Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 24 n. 4 (2021); 31-492176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/53951/40593Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Kairós-Gerontologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPassos, Ádilo Lages VieiraAraújo, Ludgleydson Fernandes de2022-02-03T21:47:57Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/53951Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-02-03T21:47:57Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
