Resumo: | The present dissertation, titled Affection, self-esteem, and resilient coping as predictors of health in old age arises in the context of the Masters in Clinical Psychology and Health, after noticing the lack of studies covering such variables. Hence, the following objectives were estabilished: (1) Evaluate, on a group of elderly, the levels of affection, self-esteem, resilient coping and health; (2) Evaluate, comparing differences between genders; (3) Determine the impact in terms of psychosocial and sociodemographic variables, in the overall health of the elderly; and (4) determine the degree of association between the variables. It is an integral part of this dissertation, an article, written in English, submitted to publication in the journal Clinical Gerontologist , which represents a methodological contribution to a greater understanding of the psychosocial variables linked to a more positive aging . In order to theoretically deepen the variables being studied, this dissertation, even presents an organized theoretical attachment in order to enable the reader to consolidate any aspects which, due to their nature, were not developed in the theoretical article. The achieved results show that high levels of positive affection, self-esteem and resilient coping are strongly connected to a better general health levels, and particularly, to higher levels of emotional well-being. Though, the negative affection is related to worse health status, which demonstrates the importance of positive emotions on the health of the elderly. |

Para tal, são estipulados os seguintes objetivos: (1) Avaliar, numa amostra de idosos, os níveis de afeto, autoestima, coping resiliente e saúde; (2) Avaliar diferenças na comparação entre géneros; (3) Determinar o impacto em função das variáveis psicossociais e sociodemográficas, na saúde geral dos idosos; e (4) Determinar o grau de associação entre as variáveis. É parte integrante desta dissertação, um artigo, escrito em língua inglesa, submetido a publicação na revista Clinical Gerontologist, que representa uma contribuição metodológica para a melhor compreensão das variáveis psicossociais associadas a um envelhecimento mais positivo. A dissertação, por forma a aprofundar teoricamente as variáveis em estudo, apresenta ainda um anexo teórico organizado de maneira a possibilitar ao leitor a consolidação de eventuais aspetos que, dada a sua natureza, não foram desenvolvidos no artigo teórico. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que elevados níveis de afeto positivo, autoestima e coping resiliente estão fortemente associados a melhores níveis de saúde geral, e particularmente, a melhores níveis de bem-estar emocional. Por conseguinte, o afeto negativo surge relacionado com piores níveis de saúde, o que demonstra a importância das emoções positivas na saúde dos idosos.Afonso, Rosa Marina Lopes Brás MartinsPereira, Henrique MarquesuBibliorumSoares, Inês Isabel Xavier2018-09-03T15:04:38Z2015-6-32015-07-142015-07-14T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/6017TID:201644533enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-15T09:44:15Zoai:ubibliorum.ubi.pt:10400.6/6017Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:46:50.308749Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
