Introdução
A pandemia COVID-19 revelou-se um fator que veio potenciar a solidão e o isolamento das pessoas idosas, em particular as que se encontram institucionalizadas. Neste sentido, procurou-se identificar estratégias que ajudem a gerir as emoções, neste contexto tão adverso, recorrendo às TIC como meio para promover o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida, no âmbito do projeto Voluntariado virtual.
Objetivo
Recolher dados sobre os sentimentos e emoções vividos durante a pandemia e as estratégias utilizadas pelos idosos.
Partilhar estratégias facilitadoras da gestão de emoções.
Metodologia
Realizou-se um estudo descritivo, com recurso à entrevista semiestruturada a 14 idosos, procurando identificar os sentimentos e emoções vividos e as estratégias utilizadas na gestão dos mesmos. Em seguida procedeu-se à análise de conteúdo da informação obtida.
A atividade culminou com uma sessão de apresentação dos resultados, com a participação de dois Professores da área da saúde mental que fizeram uma reflexão sobre os mesmos.
Resultados
De acordo com a análise de conteúdo realizada identificaram-se ao nível das emoções/sentimentos experienciados três categorias: expressões neutras, expressões negativas e expressões positivas. Relativamente às estratégias referidas pelos idosos para gerir as emoções foram identificadas seis categorias: “ver televisão”, “pintar e desenhar”, “praticar a religião”, “realizar videochamada com a família”, “participar no voluntariado da leitura e terço” e “recorrer aos profissionais da instituição”.
A reflexão produzida pelos Professores da área da saúde mental veio reforçar e fundamentar a importância das estratégias mobilizadas pelos idosos na gestão das emoções.
Comentários/Conclusões
A atividade embora tenha decorrido com recurso aos meios telemáticos permitiu a proximidade com os idosos, sendo possível aceder às suas vivências e partilhar uma reflexão sobre estratégias para gerir emoções em tempo de pandemia contribuindo desta forma para o bem-estar e qualidade de vida dos idosos.
