dc.description.abstractIntrodução: Estudar iniciativas que promovam um envelhecimento ativo é fulcral atendendo à demografia populacional global. Objetivo: Estudar as redes sociais de apoio, o stress e a qualidade de vida dos participantes no projeto SEDUCE 2.0. Métodos: Investigação descritiva transversal, quantitativa e qualitativa. A recolha de dados foi feita por: Inquérito por Questionário para caraterizar os participantes; Escala Breve de Redes Sociais de Lubben; Escala de Stress Percebido; WHOQOLBREF; e um diário de bordo para registar as sessões de co-design de desenvolvimento da comunidade miOne. O estudo incluiu 31 participantes de duas Universidades Seniores, com idades entre os 56 e os 86 anos (M= 69.90; SD=7.04). Resultados: Os participantes revelaram uma rede de apoio social relevante. A rede com quem se sentem próximos de forma a ligar e pedir ajuda e a falar sobre assuntos pessoais revela-se mais pequena. Todos os itens da análise ao stress percebido revelaram resultados positivos, exceto quando uma percentagem maior referiu sentir-se preocupados/nervosos/com stress. Os participantes apresentaram resultados positivos em todos os itens da escala da qualidade de vida, exceto na última questão onde referem que percecionaram algumas vezes sentimentos negativos. Conclusão: Os participantes apresentam uma boa rede de apoio social, boa qualidade vida e níveis de stress baixos. Os dados não se podem generalizar, mas deixam pistas relevantes sobre a população mais velha.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The study of initiatives that promote active ageing is crucial given the global population demography. Objetive: To study the social support networks, stress, and quality of life of participants in the SEDUCE 2.0 project. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive research, quantitative and qualitative. Data were collected through: Questionnaire Survey for participants’ characterization; Portuguese versions of the constructs Lubben’s Brief Social Network Scale; Perceived Stress Scale; WHOQOL-BREF; and a logbook to record the co-design sessions for miOne community development. The study included 31 participants from two Universities of The Third Age, aged between 56 and 86 years (M= 69.90; SD=7.04). Results: Participants revealed a relevant social support network. The network with whom they feel close enough to call and ask for help, and to talk about personal matters is smaller. The analysis of perceived stress reveals positive results, apart from who felt worried/nervous/stressed. All items of the perceived stress analysis showed positive results, except when a higher percentage reported feeling worried/nervous/stressed. Participants showed a good perception towards all items of the quality of life scale, except for the last question where they reported that they sometimes perceived negative feelings. Conclusion: The participants show a good social support network, good quality of life and low stress levels. The results cannot be generalised, but it leaves interesting and relevant clues about the older population.pt_PT
