Resumo: | The study aimed to understand how the elderly in two Long Term Care Facilities for the Elderly (LTCFs) experience daily spirituality and the meaning of life. This is a qualitative descriptive study, with an intentional sample of 14 elderly people, of both sexes, in private institutions in the city of Niterói / RJ. Three instruments were used for data collection: the institution's characterization form, the participant's characterization form and the interview script. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed according to the empirical-comprehensive model proposed by Amedeo Giorgi. The interpretation took place from the existentialist perspective of Frankl and Merleau-Ponty. In the analysis, three categories emerged: Aging at LTCFs, Spirituality as a support for institutionalized life, and Meaning of Life for the elderly in the institutional environment. The study concluded that spirituality and the meaning of life in the LTCF environment are important elements for facing the difficulties that the elderly experience in the institutional environment. The participants' speeches referred to adaptation, overcoming and emotional loneliness. There are many challenges experienced daily by the elderly population in the institutional environment, but the elderly can overcome them by finding their own meaning in life, combining the process of spirituality, which can be cultivated daily in the walk of those who so desire, favoring the meeting a satisfying life, even in an institutionalized environment and in the midst of constant need, especially in the presence of family members. |

Este es un estudio descriptivo cualitativo, con una muestra intencional de 14 personas mayores, de ambos sexos, en instituciones privadas en la ciudad de Niterói/RJ. Se utilizaron tres instrumentos para la recopilación de datos: el formulario de caracterización de la institución, el formulario de caracterización del participante y el guión de la entrevista. Los datos cuantitativos se analizaron utilizando estadísticas descriptivas y los datos cualitativos se analizaron de acuerdo con el modelo empírico integral propuesto por Amedeo Giorgi. La interpretación se basó en la perspectiva existencialista de Frankl y Merleau-Ponty. En el análisis, surgieron tres categorías: Envejecimiento en los CALP, Espiritualidad como soporte para la vida institucionalizada y Significado de la vida para las personas mayores en el entorno institucional. El estudio concluyó que la espiritualidad y el significado de la vida en el entorno CALP son elementos importantes para enfrentar las dificultades que experimentan los ancianos en el entorno institucional. Los discursos de los participantes se referían a la adaptación, la superación y la soledad emocional. La población anciana experimenta muchos desafíos a diario en el entorno institucional, pero los adultos mayores pueden superarlos encontrando su propio significado en la vida, combinando el proceso de espiritualidad, que puede cultivarse diariamente en el caminar de quienes lo desean, favoreciendo el cumplir una vida satisfactoria, incluso en un entorno institucionalizado y en medio de una necesidad constante, especialmente en presencia de miembros de la familia.O estudo objetivou compreender como idosos em duas Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPIs) vivenciam diariamente a espiritualidade e o sentido da vida. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo descritivo, com amostra intencional de 14 idosos, de ambos os sexos, em instituições privadas na cidade de Niterói/RJ. Utilizaram-se três instrumentos para a coleta de dados: formulário de caracterização da instituição, formulário de caracterização do participante e roteiro de entrevista. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados através de estatística descritiva e os dados qualitativos foram analisados conforme o modelo empírico-compreensivo proposto por Amedeo Giorgi. A interpretação se deu a partir da perspectiva existencialista de Frankl e Merleau-Ponty. Na análise surgiram três categorias: Envelhecendo na ILPIs, Espiritualidade como suporte para a vida institucionalizada, e Sentido da Vida para idosos no ambiente institucional. O estudo concluiu que a espiritualidade e o sentido da vida no ambiente das ILPIs constituem elementos importantes para o enfrentamento das dificuldades que os idosos vivenciam no ambiente institucional. As falas dos participantes remeteram à adaptação, superação e solidão emocional. Muitos são os desafios vivenciados diariamente pela população de idosos no ambiente institucional, mas os idosos podem superá-los ao encontrarem o próprio sentido da vida, aliando o processo da espiritualidade, que pode ser cultivado diariamente na caminhada daquele que assim o desejar, favorecendo o encontro de uma vida satisfatória, ainda que em ambiente institucionalizado e em meio à carência constante, especialmente da presença de seus familiares.
