Resumo: | Questions about death have sparked great interest in different areas of society such as media, religion, health, economy, demography and family. Currently, death is a model for thinking about human existence and the impacts that this phenomenon causes in people's lives, as it is the only certainty in life. When it comes to old age, death is highlighted, as there is a close relationship between seniors and death in society. However, at this moment, such arguments do not hold up as before, since the relation now existing has been relative and quite distinct. In order to demonstrate these concepts, this paper aims to address the relationship between death and aging using the experiences of three elderly women whose the recognition of death has gaineddistinct contours. The research was conducted in 2011 at a basic family health center in the municipality of Bayeux (PB). The methodology adopted was the content analysis from the reports of experiences of the elderly women and from the interviews with them. Research has shown that, despite the three women share the condition of old age,the representation and the meanings about death undergo different moments, depending on the life history and the experiences of subjects. The various moments emphasized by the elderly women show that death can be beneficial, seen as a good event, that death also promotes a new meaning to life and, finally, that the current management of active aging has an element for the denial and total removal of death. |

Representation of death: concepts from the life experiences of elderly users of PSFRepresentação da morte: concepções a partir de experiências de vida de idosas usuárias do PSFOld AgeDeathSeniorsVelhiceMorteMelhor IdadeQuestions about death have sparked great interest in different areas of society such as media, religion, health, economy, demography and family.

Atualmente, a morte é um modelo para pensar a existência humana e os impactos que esse fenômeno causa na vida das pessoas, já que é a única certeza da vida. Em se tratando de envelhecimento, a morte tem destaque, pois há uma estreita relação entre idoso e morte na sociedade. No entanto, na atual conjuntura, tais argumentos não se sustentam como antes, já que a relação ora existente tem se mostrado relativa e bem distinta. No sentido de evidenciar tais concepções, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo abordar a relação existente entre morte e envelhecimento a partir da vivência de três idosas cujo reconhecimento da morte assumiu contornos distintos. A pesquisa foi realizada em 2011 em uma unidade básica de saúde da família situada no município de Bayeux (PB). A metodologia adotada foi a análise de conteúdo a partir dos relatos de experiências das idosas e das entrevistas realizadas com as mesmas. A pesquisa mostrou que, apesar de as idosas partilharem da condição amplamente difundida da melhor idade, a representação, os sentidos e significados acerca da morte passam por momentos distintos, dependendo da história de vida e das experiências dos sujeitos. Os diversos momentos enfatizados pelas idosas dão conta de que a morte pode ser benéfica, encarada como um bom acontecimento, que a morte também promove um novo sentido para a vida e, por fim, que a atual gestão da velhice ativa tem um elemento para a negação e o afastamento total da morte.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-10-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/mswordhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/967210.23925/2176-901X.2012v15iEspecial12p309-324Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 15 (2012): Número Especial 12 - Finitude/Morte e Velhice; 309-3242176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/9672/12635https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/9672/35935Rodrigues, Márcia Andréainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-11-29T00:32:14Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/9672Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-11-29T00:32:14Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false |
