Resumo
Atualmente a temática do envelhecimento é um tema cada vez mais abordado. Este acontecimento sucede-se pelo papel que a demografia apresenta perante o mundo, pois com cada vez mais avanços a todos os níveis, (medicina, tecnologia, entre outros) vive-se cada vez mais anos, e a população mundial vai ficando cada vez mais envelhecida. O fenómeno do envelhecimento demográfico da população e a expansão da longevidade têm tido repercussões a nível mundial, sobretudo nos países mais industrializados, deste modo, o interesse e a preocupação da Qualidade de Vida (QV) na velhice ganhou maior expressão e é um fator de grande importância a se considerar nos estudos sobre a terceira idade.
A presente dissertação, intitulada Envelhecer a Aprender: Universidades Sénior e Qualidade de Vida, foca a sua investigação numa amostra composta por 22 alunos, das Universidades Sénior de Manique e de Sassoeiros, utilizando uma metodologia quantitativa através da aplicação de um inquérito por questionário, com perguntas mistas, com o objetivo de compreender de que forma as Universidades Sénior influenciam a qualidade de vida no processo de Envelhecimento.
Os dados resultantes do processo de investigação remetem para o facto de as Universidades Sénior de Manique e Sassoeiros serem uma mais-valia para os seus utentes, contribuindo para a melhoria da sua qualidade de vida, promovendo momentos de aprendizagem partilhada, momentos de reflexão e de socialização.
Ageing is nowadays a highly addressed issue. This is due to the role that demography plays in the world, since, with more and more advances at all levels (medicine, technology, among others), we are living longer, and consequently the world population is getting older. The phenomenon of demographic aging and the expansion of longevity have had repercussions worldwide, especially in more industrialised countries. Thus, the interest and concern for Quality of Life (QoL) in old age has gained greater expression and is a factor of great importance to be considered in studies on senior citizens. The present dissertation, entitled Ageing and Learning: Senior Universities and Quality of Life, focuses its research on a sample composed of 22 students, from the Senior Universities of Manique and Sassoeiros. It uses a quantitative methodology through the application of a questionnaire survey, with mixed questions, with the purpose of understanding how Senior Universities influence quality of life in the Aging process. Results suggest that the Senior Universities of Manique and Sassoeiros are an added value for their users, contributing to the improvement of their quality of life, promoting moments of shared learning, moments of reflection and socialisation.
