Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento é um processo que implica mudanças bio-psico-sociais. Atuar na
prevenção da doença e promoção da saúde é fundamental, sendo que a idade não é o único determinante do envelhecimento. A música está fortemente interligada com a memória e relaciona-se com as operações cognitivas e percetivas dos mecanismos cerebrais. Estas memórias musicais, repletas de aspetos emocionais e afetivos, influenciam o percurso de vida das pessoas idosas.
O desafio de investigação é estudar a problemática em torno da seguinte questão de
partida: “Quais as memórias musicais do percurso de vida das pessoas idosas e que
significados assumem?”. Este estudo incide nas memórias musicais de pessoas com mais de 64 anos de idade, que frequentam a Universidade do Algarve para a Terceira Idade (UATI).
O paradigma de investigação em que se insere este estudo é de caráter
predominantemente qualitativo. Aplicou-se o método etnográfico e desenvolveu-se uma
estratégia metodológica que assumiram um caráter exploratório, descritivo e interpretativo.
As técnicas e instrumentos utilizados para a recolha de dados foram: questionários, entrevista semiestruturada em vídeo-gravação e análise documental. Na análise estatística recorreu-se ao programa Excel® e o método fenomenológico de Max Van Manen foi utilizado na interpretação das entrevistas. O estudo contemplou vinte seis participantes, dos quais vinte participaram nos questionários e seis nas entrevistas. A recolha de dados decorreu durante seis meses, no espaço físico da UATI.
Resultados: As memórias musicais apresentam significados diferentes de acordo com o
percurso de vida dos participantes. Fatores como a educação, a cultura, as tradições e as vivências pessoais são determinantes nesta questão. As recordações são marcadas positiva ou negativamente, de acordo com os acontecimentos de vida às quais as memórias musicais estão associadas. O processo de recolha de dados funcionou como um estímulo cognitivo para os participantes, ao permitir resgatar memórias e reviver o passado.
Aging is a process that involves bio-psycho-social changes. Acting in disease prevention and health promotion is essential, because age is not the only determinant of aging. Music is strongly intertwined with memory and its related to the cognitive and perceptual operations of brain mechanisms. These musical memories, filled with emotional and affective aspects, influence the way of life of the elderly. The research challenge is to study the problem around the following question: "Witch are the musical memoirs in the life course of the elderly and what meanings do they assume?" This study focuses on the musical memories of people over 64 years old who attend the University of Algarve for the Elderly (UATI). The research paradigm of this study is predominantly qualitative. We applied the ethnographic method and a methodological strategy, that assumed an exploratory, descriptive and interpretative character. The techniques and instruments used for the data collection were: questionnaires, semi structured interview in video-recording and documentary analysis. For the statistical analysis we used the Excel® program, and the phenomenological method of Max Van Manen was used in the interpretation of the interviews. The study included twentysix participants, of whom twenty participated in the questionnaires and six in the interviews. The data collection took place during six months in the physical space of the UATI. Results: The musical memories present different meanings according to the life course of the participants. Factors such as education, culture, traditions and personal experiences are decisive in this matter. Memories are marked positively or negatively, according to the life events to which the musical memories are associated. The data collection process worked as a cognitive stimulus for the participants, allowing them to rescue memories and relive the past.
