Resumo
Há mais ou menos duas décadas observa-se um aumento significativo e crescente da
população idosa do país.
É grande a preocupação do poder publico para encontrar uma maneira eficaz de
atender a essa nova comunidade, que precisa carinho e atenção diferenciada e que a passos
lentos vem conquistando seu espaço em busca de saúde, qualidade de vida e principalmente
respeito aos seus direitos e a sua experiência acumulada por toda uma existência.
Com o aumento da expectativa de vida, o idoso se transforma em um ser que necessita
acompanhar e participar das mudanças; porem, para não se sentir excluído dessa sociedade
preconceituosa em que ainda vivemos se faz necessário que o cidadão preserve ou resgate sua
autonomia e consiga gerir sua vida, participando ativamente de tudo que diz respeito a si,
procurando se adaptar às mudanças do mundo contemporâneo com qualidade de vida e sem
muito sofrimento.
Sabe-se que a educação continuada é um dos caminhos mais seguros para combate à
exclusão social, pois promove e possibilita a participação desse segmento populacional como
cidadão produtivo, além de facilitar o resgate da sua dignidade humana, ampliando horizontes
e promovendo sua valorização em todos os sentidos.
Neste estudo procuramos estar em contato com idosos do grupo “PROGRAMA DA
MELHOR IDADE” da cidade de Paraíso do Tocantins e, através desse contato, colhemos
informações que nos direcione e oriente a proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida,
facilitando adaptação às mudanças do mundo contemporâneo, aos freqüentadores que tanto
contribuíram para o desenvolvimento e crescimento desta cidade.
For the last two decades there has been a significant increase in the number of old aged people in the country. Public authority is resolved to find an efficient manner to attend to the needs of this social subdivision which needs attention and differentiated care. This social group has gradually occupied its space in search for better health, better quality of life and especially respect for their rights and lifelong accumulated experience. As life span increases, senior citizens are called to be more aware of and to participate in changes; so as that they do not feel excluded from a hurtful society in which we still live in, it is necessary for old aged citizens to preserve or gain their independence and, thus, be able to manage their own lives, actively participate in all that is directly referent to it and need to adapt to changes in this contemporary world with as little suffering as possible. It is known that lifelong education is one of the safest routs to battle against social exclusion, for it supplies this social segment with the possibility of being productive citizens, makes them feel more dignified and bigger possibilities for them to be more independent, thus making them feel valued in all senses. In this study we aim to be in contact with the old aged group of the “PROGRAMA DA MELHOR IDADE” (Old Age Program) in the city of Paraíso, State of Tocantins and through this contact collect enough information and knowledge so as we will be able to suggest and direct this group in options for better living conditions, making their adaptation to changes in our contemporary world easier, in respect to the people who have given so much of themselves to the growth of the referred to city.
