Acolhimento institucional : estratégias desenvolvidas pelos cuidadores formais

Abstract

As transformações da estrutura demográfica, social, económica e familiar trouxeram, entre as suas diversas consequências, uma nova visibilidade social das pessoas idosas, numa altura em que os conceitos de velhice e de envelhecimento sofrem mudanças decorrentes dos desafios que a sociedade atual enfrenta. O aumento progressivo da institucionalização de idosos surge como uma das várias respostas que o Estado criou para proporcionar a satisfação das necessidades e o bem-estar aos idosos. A entrada para um contexto residencial implica um confronto com uma realidade até então desconhecida, que inclui, nomeadamente, a partilha de espaços, os horários, o regulamento interno, a ausência de privacidade, convívio com uma heterogeneidade de pessoas, entre outros. A adaptação a esta nova realidade implica estratégias de adaptação individualizadas e personalizadas por parte dos cuidadores formais e uma capacidade de resiliência por parte do idoso que deverá recorrer a estratégias internas e/ou externas de forma a conseguir a melhor ambientação possível. É fundamental o respeito pela individualidade, personalidade, gostos, hábitos e história de vida do utente, para evitar situações de isolamento, depressão e insatisfação com a vida. As situações de dependência, a falta de conhecimentos e a incapacidade, motivadas por fatores familiares e económicos, são razões que levam o idoso e/ou os cuidadores informais a optarem por esta resposta social. O idoso, a família e o lar devem trabalhar em conjunto para permitir que a ambientação decorra de forma natural, respeitando a vontade, sentimentos e valores do utente.

The elderly, the family and the Residential care must work together to allow the setting takes place naturally respecting the will, feelings and values of the weare.
