Abstract(s)
Num mundo cada vez mais envelhecido demograficamente, urge preparar os
profissionais que trabalham na área do envelhecimento. Os cuidadores formais, são um dos
exemplos desses profissionais, que têm vindo a ser cada vez mais necessários, e que prestam
cuidados aos adultos mais velhos institucionalizados. As suas atitudes e comportamentos
influenciam a qualidade da prestação dos cuidados. Assim sendo, a formação constitui-se
como uma forma eficaz de prepará-los para os desafios da sua função. Pretende-se realizar o
diagnóstico de necessidades de formação contínua das cuidadoras, da Santa Casa da
Misericórdia de Albufeira das respostas sociais ERPI, CD e SAD, disponíveis no momento do
estudo. Esta investigação tem uma abordagem qualitativa, insere-se numa tradição
interpretativa e num estudo de caso, com recurso a 13 entrevistas estruturadas, às diretoras
técnicas destes serviços e às cuidadoras dos mesmos. Os resultados sugerem que a formação
tem impacto no trabalho das cuidadoras e, apesar da SCMA reconhecer a importância da
formação, para os seus trabalhadores, e dispor de planos de formação interna anualmente
atualizados e coincidentes com as temáticas em voga e com as alterações laborais, há sempre
melhorias que podem ser levadas a cabo, no sentido de continuar a combater o desgaste físico
e psicológico destas profissionais e, consequentemente, tornar o que se aprende no trabalho
útil para a vida pessoal, porque a esfera profissional e a esfera pessoal são indissociáveis e
influenciam-se mutuamente. Este estudo recomenda um plano de formação destinado a estes
profissionais.
In a world increasingly ageing demographically, it is urgent to prepare professionals who work in the area of ageing. Formal caregivers are one of the examples of these professionals, who have been increasingly needed, and who provide care to institutionalized older adults. Their attitudes and behaviour influence the quality of care delivery. Therefore, training is an effective way to prepare them for the challenges of their role. It is intended to carry out a diagnosis of the ongoing training needs of caregivers, from the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Albufeira of the ERPI, CD and SAD social responses, available at the time of the study. This investigation has a qualitative approach, is part of an interpretive tradition and a case study, using 13 structured interviews with the technical directors of these services and their caregivers. The results suggest that training has an impact on the work of caregivers and, although SCMA recognizes the importance of training for its workers, and has internal training plans that are annually updated and coincide with current themes and labour changes, there are always improvements that can be made, in order to continue to fight the physical and psychological strain of these professionals and, consequently, make what is learned in work useful for personal life, because the professional and the personal spheres are inseparable and influence each other. This study recommends a training plan for these professionals.
