Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento da população mundial é uma das grandes problemáticas dos tempos contemporâneos. O avançar da idade acarreta grandes alterações, tanto físicas, como sociais, ou psíquicas. Os problemas cognitivos parecem ser bastantes frequentes nesta fase da vida, nomeadamente as demências e outros problemas cognitivos.
A presente investigação teve como objectivo a construção e avaliação de um Programa de Reminiscências, destinado a sujeitos idosos institucionalizados.
Para esse efeito foi desenhado um estudo pré e pós teste, recorrendo a uma amostra de 14 sujeitos divididos aleatoriamente por dois grupos, um grupo experimental e um grupo de controlo. Para definição dos temas de vida a serem utilizados nas sessões, recorreu-se a uma entrevista estruturada cronologicamente e aplicada de forma individual.
Foi realizada a avaliação do défice cognitivo e da memória autobiográfica, recorrendo respectivamente ao Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) e ao Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT). A avaliação foi realizada por um investigador independente, a psicóloga da instituição.
Foi possível verificar que apenas se registaram alterações ao nível da avaliação cognitiva, onde se constatou uma pequena melhoria no score do MMSE pelo grupo experimental. No entanto, ao nível da recuperação das memórias não foram registadas diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos.
Sendo um estudo quase experimental, este poderá servir de base a investigações futuras, pelas evidências e recomendações retiradas da sua execução.
Aging of the world-wide population is one of the biggest problems in contemporaneous world. The advancement of age causes great changes, physics, social or psychics. Cognitive problems seem to be very frequents in this stage of life, namely dementia and other cognitive problems. The present investigation as the goal of construction and evaluate a reminiscence program, for institutionalized elder people. To this effect, it was design a pre-test and pos-test study with a sample of 14 elder people in two groups, an experimental one and a control one. To define themes of life, to be used on sessions, it was used a chronological structure interview, applied in individual way. It was evaluated the cognitive impairment and the autobiographical memory, using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT), respectively. Evaluation was done by an independent investigator, the institution psychologist. It was possible to verify that only changes in cognitive evaluation, where we can observe a small increase on MMSE score in the experimental group. However, in the memories recuperation, we can observe that there isn´t significant differences. Being a quasi-experimental study, it could be the start of future investigations, by the evidences and recommendations of this execution.
