Abstract(s)
O presente estudo assumiu como objetivo central perceber a importância da universidade sénior
USM, insular, na perspetiva de quem a frequenta – especificidades e mudança positiva que
proporciona. Esta investigação baseou-se num estudo de caso utilizando técnica a análise
documental e instrumentos a entrevista semi diretiva (n=4) e um inquérito por questionário dirigido
aos alunos seniores da USM (n=36). Através da recolha de dados concluiu-se que a universidade
sénior estudada veio modificar o dia-a-dia dos seus alunos preenchendo um espaço que mais tarde
veio revelar-se imprescindível nas suas vidas. Veio igualmente contribuir para um envelhecimento
ativo, na medida que se observou que os idosos participantes na amostra do estudo criaram laços
sociais, amizades, adquiram e partilham saberes que proporcionaram a sua participação social,
transformando-os em seres mais envolvidos no seio em que se inserem assim como em novos
ambientes e no aprofundamento de novos conhecimentos, constituindo-se a USM também numa
resposta contra a solidão e isolamento. Embora com as suas particularidades, os dados vêm no
sentido do defendido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, pelas Universidades Seniores e outros
autores de relevo no domínio.
