Resumo: Social support is highly relevant in old age, contributing to the biopsychosocial well-being. There is extensive evidence regarding the relationship of social support with global well-being and the achievement of a competent old age. However, its availability varies throughout the life course. The network goes through quantitative changes –losses and additions of relations- and qualitative ones –intensification or weakening of the link-. In elderly it tends to decrease in size and even more so in advanced ages. It should be noted that, in the face of these transformations, it is expected that the increase in the need for care will occur together with the decrease in available social support resources. Indeed, elderly people are the most likely to have little support from family and friends. It is even probable that they have lost most of the members that made up their network of relationships and that they have even outlived their own children. This article presents the results of a quantitative research in which the social support networks of older people who attend formal support organizations were explored: educational workshops, day centers, day clubs and long-term residences.  The structured interview of sources of social support was administered to 160 people between 75 and 90 years of age. The results show differences in favor of those who attend the day club in terms of network size, number of family ties and those who provide practical help and companionship. It is concluded that the organizations explored constitute socialization spaces that, in addition to providing formal support, contribute to establishing new links that strengthen informal support networks.

Diversas investigaciones han aportado una amplia evidencia respecto a la relación del apoyo social con el bienestar integral y el logro de una vejez competente. Sin embargo, su disponibilidad va variando a lo largo del curso vital.  La red atraviesa cambios cuantitativos –pérdidas e incorporaciones de vínculos- y cualitativos –intensificación o debilitamiento del lazo-. En la vejez tiende a disminuir su tamaño y más aún en las edades más avanzadas. Cabe destacar que, frente a estas transformaciones, es esperable que el aumento de la necesidad de cuidado se presente de manera conjunta con la disminución de los recursos de apoyo social de los cuales se dispone. En efecto, las personas mayores de edad avanzada son las más propensas a poseer escasos apoyos familiares y de amistades. Incluso es probable que hayan perdido gran parte o la totalidad de los miembros que conformaban su red de relaciones y que incluso hayan sobrevivido a sus propios hijos/as. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuantitativa en la que se exploraron las redes de apoyo social de personas mayores que concurren a dispositivos de apoyo formal: talleres educativos, centros de día, club de día y residencias de larga estadía. A tal fin se administró la entrevista estructurada de fuentes de apoyo social a 160 personas de 75 a 90 años. Los resultados muestran diferencias a favor de las que concurren a club de día en lo referido a tamaño de la red, cantidad de vínculos familiares y de los que brindan ayuda práctica y compañía.   Se concluye que todos los dispositivos constituyen espacios de socialización que, además de proveer apoyo formal, contribuyen a establecer nuevos vínculos que fortalecen las redes de apoyo informal.O apoio social é altamente relevante na velhice, contribuindo para o bem-estar biopsicossocial do idoso. Várias investigações forneceram evidências extensas sobre a relação do apoio social com o bem-estar abrangente e a conquista de uma velhice competente. No entanto, sua disponibilidade varia ao longo da vida. A rede está passando por mudanças quantitativas – perda e incorporação de vínculos - e qualitativas – aumento ou enfraquecimento do vínculo que na velhice tende a diminuir de tamanho e ainda mais nas idades mais avançadas. Refira-se que, face a estas transformações, espera-se que o aumento da necessidade de cuidados ocorra simultaneamente com a diminuição dos recursos de apoio social disponíveis. De fato, os idosos são os mais propensos a ter pouco apoio da família e dos amigos. É até provável que tenham perdido grande parte ou todos os membros que compunham sua rede de relacionamentos e que tenham sobrevivido até mesmo aos próprios filhos. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma investigação quantitativa em que foram exploradas as redes de apoio social de idosos que frequentam dispositivos formais de apoio: oficinas educativas, centros de dia, day club e residências de longa permanência. Para tal, foi aplicada a entrevista estruturada de fontes de apoio social a 160 pessoas com idades compreendidas entre os 75 e os 90 anos. Os resultados mostram diferenças a favor de quem frequenta o day club quanto ao tamanho da rede, número de vínculos familiares e quem oferece ajuda prática e companheirismo. Conclui-se que todos os dispositivos constituem espaços de socialização que, além de fornecer apoio formal, contribuem para o estabelecimento de novos vínculos que fortalecem as redes informais de apoioPontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2023-07-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/6224310.23925/2176-901X.2023v26n32e62243Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 26 n. 32 (2023): NÚMERO ESPECIAL 32 - Apoio social na velhice; 124-1552176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPspahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/62243/42643Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Kairós-Gerontologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJ.
