Resumo
Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer se as pessoas em situação de reforma procuram e/ou praticam atividades de lazer; investigar os tipos de atividades de lazer que praticam; conhecer os motivos da não realização de atividades de lazer; identificar níveis de satisfação com a vida entre as pessoas que praticam e não praticam atividades de lazer; conhecer a associação entre a satisfação com a vida e a prática de atividades de lazer.
Fizeram parte da amostra 169 indivíduos reformados, de ambos os géneros, com uma média de idades de 77 anos e que frequentam Centros de Dia ou de Convívio, em Lisboa. Foram utilizados um questionário para conhecer o tipo de atividades de lazer praticadas, a escala Attitudes of Leisure by Ragheg e Beard (1982) para compreender o ‘Porquê’ e o ‘Sentir’
da prática de atividades de lazer e a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida elaborada por Diener, Emmons, Larsen e Giffin (1985) para avaliar a satisfação com a vida.
De acordo com os resultados, destaca-se o facto da maioria dos participantes praticarem
atividades de lazer. As mais praticadas são o jogo das cartas; visita a museus; passeios a pé;
conviver com família e amigos; ler livros; efetuar trabalhos manuais; viagens; e praticar hidro/ginástica. Relativamente a quem não pratica atividades de lazer o motivo mais apresentado
foi o desinteresse. No que respeita à satisfação com a vida, observou-se que quem pratica atividades de lazer sente mais satisfação com a vida comparativamente a quem não pratica atividades de lazer.
