Abstract(s)
O estudo que apresentamos pretende refletir, caraterizar e identificar o contributo da
multidisciplinariedade na promoção do envelhecimento ativo, no concelho de Sabrosa.
Estamos conscientes que o envelhecimento da população acarreta diversos desafios para a
sociedade e para os profissionais e que, apesar da existência de políticas para a promoção do
envelhecimento ativo, estes ainda não estão preparados para satisfazer as necessidades da
atual população idosa. Assim sendo, consideramos que é essencial a articulação entre
técnicos de diferentes áreas, de forma a partilharem experiências, conhecimentos e opiniões.
Para melhor conseguirmos compreender esta temática, foi utilizado neste estudo, um
desenho metodológico de cariz predominantemente qualitativo, tendo sido aplicado um
inquérito por questionário, dirigido a técnicos que integram uma equipa multidisciplinar e a
uma responsável pela coordenação de uma dessas equipas, num concelho vizinho com
características similares, com o objetivo de conhecer a opinião e o trabalho desenvolvido por
esses técnicos no que diz respeito à multidisciplinariedade na promoção do envelhecimento
ativo. Os dados recolhidos foram objeto de análise estatística e posteriormente retiradas as
devidas conclusões. Por fim, de forma a contornar as debilidades verificadas elaboramos
uma proposta de intervenção através de um quadro de medidas e de um plano estratégico.
De acrescentar que este estudo teve como principais resultados a confirmação de que uma
equipa multidisciplinar possui diversas vantagens para o idoso, melhorando a sua qualidade
de vida e contribuindo para a excelência dos serviços prestados, promovendo desta forma o
envelhecimento ativo.
The study we present intends to reflect, feature and identify the contribution of multidisciplinarity in promoting active ageing, in the municipality of Sabrosa. We are aware that population aging entails several challenges for society and for professionals, who, despite the existence of policies for the promotion of active ageing, are not yet prepared to meet the needs of the elderly population. Therefore, we consider that it is essential the articulation between different technical areas, in order to share experience, knowledge and opinions. To better understand this theme, a predominantly qualitative methodological approach was used in this study. A questionnaire survey for professionals who are part of a multidisciplinary team and one responsible for the coordination of one of these teams in a neighbouring municipality with similar characteristics was conducted, with the objective of knowing the opinion and the work developed by these professionals regarding multidisciplinarity in the promotion of active aging. Data collected was analysed and conclusions were withdrawn. Finally, in order to overcome the weaknesses, a proposal for intervention was drawn up through a framework of measures and a strategic plan. It should be noted that this study had as main results the confirmation that a multidisciplinary team has several advantages for the elderly, improving their quality of life and contributing to the excellence of services provided, thus promoting active aging.
