Os equipamentos eram vinculados ao Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS), sendo que dois ofereciam serviços no âmbito da Proteção Social Básica e três no âmbito da Proteção Social Especial. A pesquisa tratou-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo que utilizou a orientação do método etnográfico na coleta, tratamento e análise dos dados provenientes de entrevista em profundidade. Foram entrevistados 12 idosos e 10 profissionais. Os depoimentos apontaram para duas categorias dicotômicas relacionadas à velhice e ao envelhecimento: a concepção de envelhecimento saudável e ativo, versus, a velhice e o envelhecimento como um processo de perdas e declínio, que remete a incapacidades e à perda dos papéis sociais. A velhice foi tratada mais como um sentimento, do que uma categoria etária em si. Poucos entrevistados referiram conhecer a Gerontologia, recebendo uma informação básica a respeito. Com relação à atuação dos gerontólogos, destacaram-se as seguintes atribuições: oficineiros, pesquisadores, gestores, conselheiros e profissionais que atuarão desenvolvendo intervenções educacionais. Os dados podem contribuir para compreensão das necessidades dos idosos e profissionais nesses serviços a partir de suas próprias percepções, discutindo formas adequadas às especificidades dos diferentes contextos culturais de gestão da atenção da velhice e a inserção dos idosos em equipamentos de atendimento assistencial.Editora UPF2012-08-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttp://seer.upf.br/index.php/rbceh/article/view/132010.5335/rbceh.2012.1320Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano; v. 8 n. 1 (2011)2317-66951679-7930reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano (Online)instname:Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF)instacron:UPFporhttp://seer.upf.br/index.php/rbceh/article/view/1320/pdfFratezi, Flávia RenataSilva, Henrique Salmazo daSilveira, Maria HelenaLopes, Andreainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-11-08T14:05:35Zoai:seer.upf.br:article/1320Revistahttp://www.upf.br/seer/index.php/rbcehhttp://www.upf.br/seer/index.php/rbceh/oairbceh@upf.br||pasqualotti@upf.br2317-66951679-7930opendoar:2022-11-08T14:05:35Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano (Online) - Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF)false
