Resumo: | According to WHO (2002), societies are aging, and it is possible to observe an unprecedented demographic transformation in the history of humanity. The success of social transformations in welcoming healthy aging is proportional to the precariousness of the mechanisms we have to deal with fragile and dependent old age. It is a fact that we added years of life to the general population, however, the inexorability of old age can only be avoided if there is a premature death. For many the last years of life are devastated by chronic illness, disability or dementia, and increased dependence. From the historical point of view of humanity, we are a succession of generations, increasingly old, supported by the illusion of renewal. The past was younger than the present and the future will be even older. This article intends to present a reflection about the social construction of individual aging, carried out during the research on the Promotion and Preservation of Dignity in the context of care in nursing homes, in the context of the PhD in Nursing of the University of Lisbon, Portugal. |

Según la OMS (2002), las sociedades están envejeciendo, siendo posible observar una transformación demográfica sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad. El éxito de las transformaciones sociales, al acoger el envejecimiento sano, es proporcional a la precariedad de los mecanismos que disponemos para lidiar con la vejez frágil y dependiente. Es un hecho que se han añadido más años de vida a la población en general; Sin embargo, la inexorabilidad de la vejez sólo puede evitarse si hay una muerte prematura. Para muchos ancianos, los últimos años de vida son devastados por la enfermedad crónica, la discapacidad o la demencia, y la dependencia mayor. Desde el punto de vista histórico de la humanidad, somos una sucesión de generaciones, cada vez más viejas, amparadas por la ilusión de la renovación. El pasado fue más joven que el presente, y el futuro tendrá aún más edad. Este artículo pretende presentar la reflexión sobre el envejecimiento individual, realizada durante la investigación acerca de la Promoción y Preservación de la Dignidad en el contexto de cuidados en hogares de ancianos, realizada en el contexto del Doctorado en Enfermería de la Universidad de Lisboa, Portugal. Segundo a WHO (2002), as sociedades estão a envelhecer, sendo possível observar uma transformação demográfica sem precedentes na história da humanidade. O sucesso das transformações sociais, ao acolherem o envelhecimento saudável, é proporcional à precariedade dos mecanismos que dispomos para lidar com a velhice frágil e dependente. É um facto que se acrescentou mais anos de vida à população em geral; contudo, a inexorabilidade da velhice só poderá ser evitada se houver uma morte prematura. Para muitos idosos, os últimos anos de vida são devastados pela doença crónica, deficiência ou demência, e dependência maior. Do ponto de vista histórico da humanidade, somos uma sucessão de gerações, cada vez mais velhas, amparadas pela ilusão da renovação. O passado foi mais jovem que o presente, e o futuro terá ainda mais idade. Este artigo pretende apresentar a reflexão acerca do envelhecimento individual, realizada durante a investigação acerca da Promoção e Preservação da Dignidade no contexto de cuidados em lares de idosos, realizada no contexto do Doutoramento em Enfermagem da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal.
