Resumo: |
In recent decades it has been possible to observe the global rise of the elderly population, and the subsequent developments needed to keep this group active and healthy. This fact has brought a significant impact on various sectors, particularly in the structuring of new social support and health services that assist the elderly residents of rural areas as well. The technology group, in this context, despite integrating the actions established by the national policies for the care of the elderly has not always ensured adequate space to expand the interaction and exchange of experiences among the elderly and the healthcare team. Considering that the development of this activity depends on an attitude of the professionals that encourage the enhancement of the therapeutic group, the present study aimed to analyze the impact of the use of the convergent research in transforming the praxis of an elderly group in a rural community, which included senior individuals and the health professionals in charge. Assistential Convergent Research conducted between August 2010 to May 2012, focusing on the proposal of a new work group dynamics applied to a senior group, aimed to enhance the professional praxis through a more proactive action promoting the health of these people . Twenty-one service users and nine healthcare professionals were recruited. The health care team were sensitized and presented to a new group format coordinated by the researcher, with co-participation of the whole team. Data were collected through written records and interviews which synthesized step by step the intervention performed weekly with the group. The analysis followed the recommendations of the methodological framework used. The results were presented in two papers. Paper 1 aimed to analyze the first stage of the process of empowerment of a senior group in a rural community in the view of the assistential convergent researcht. In this article, the phases experienced by the group focusing the process of rebuilding the group's operating mode are described using PCA as a method of intervention. The findings evidenced that after an initial moment of resistance to proposed changes, the group began to use the space for emotional development, acquiring new skills, healthy habits, improved interpersonal relationships. In turn, health professionals, reported improvement of group management skills and opportunities for personal and professional growth. The second article outstands an educational practice as a tool for empowerment directed to a group of seniors in a rural community. The results show how and which new skills and concepts of health were acquired by the elderly and redirected the conduct of the activities of the group. It also describes the importance of intervention in overcoming difficulties, building bonds, in the practice of citizenship and opening horizons. The data also reveal that there has been renewal of practice for health promotion by the professionals involved in the research. In conclusion, we highlight the potential of PCA and group activities in health promotion, especially for collective empowerment. The new approach adopted by the participants indicates that such actions promote changes in life plans of those involved and accountability for their lives and future. Finally, we emphasize, that the rural community group showed great potential for cohesion, welcoming new members readily, and relative ease in overcoming the fear of the new. Both participants and health professionals took the opportunity to leverage the new proposed actions and incorporate them into practice, transforming the group dynamics, especially in strengthening the autonomy, encouragement of self-care, gaining new knowledge and developing interpersonal skills, key aspects in promoting health in old age. |
