Nos últimos anos, a população idosa tem vindo a aumentar nos países desenvolvidos, nomeadamente em Portugal. Esse crescimento tem levado, cada vez mais, à realização de estudos sobre o impacto da estimulação cognitiva, uma vez que esta pode ajudar a manter ou a desenvolver competências cognitivas no idoso.
Este estudo assume uma natureza qualitativa descritiva e, também, de carácter exploratório no qual se pretende verificar de que forma a estimulação cognitiva está presente nas atividades de animação dinamizadas por técnicos nas Estruturas Residenciais para Pessoas Idosas. Para responder a esta problemática definiram-se três objetivos específicos: i) Identificar qual a intencionalidade dos técnicos para promover e explicitar objetivos associados à Estimulação Cognitiva no planeamento das atividades; ii) Observar se nas atividades dinamizadas pelos técnicos estão ou não presentes as estratégias e princípios da Estimulação Cognitiva; iii) Analisar se os técnicos que dinamizam as atividades mobilizam no seu discurso as dimensões associadas à Estimulação Cognitiva.
A amostra deste estudo é composta por vinte atividades de cinco técnicos, isto é, quatro por cada técnico e são utilizados vários instrumentos de recolha e análise de dados, sendo estes, planificações elaboradas pelos técnicos, observações das atividades, entrevistas semidiretivas aos técnicos, de modo a ser possível fazer-se um cruzamento dos dados recolhidos.
Os resultados deste estudo relevam que nas atividades observadas estiveram presentes as diferentes competências da estimulação cognitiva definidas para este estudo (memória, raciocínio, atenção, compreensão, linguagem e competência motora). Verifica-se ainda que nas atividades observadas os técnicos trabalham mais competências do que aquelas que expressam nas suas planificações e entrevistas o que nos indica a falta ou diminuta formação inicial e contínua na área da estimulação cognitiva.
ABSTRACT For some time now the elderly population has been growing in developing countries, especially in Portugal. This growth has led to an increase in studies on the impact of cognitive stimulation since this can help maintain or develop cognitive competences on elderly people. This thesis has taken a qualitative descriptive and exploratory approach though which it is the authors intent to verify in which ways cognitive stimulation is present in animation activities oriented by technicians at residential structures for elderly people. To answer this research problem, this thesis has outlined three specific’s objectives: i) to identify what is the intent of technicians so has to better promote and explain objectives associated with Cognitive Stimulation in the planning of activities; ii) to observe if the strategies and principles of Cognitive Stimulation are or not present in the activities organized by technicians; iii) to analyses if technicians who organized activities mobilize in their speech the dimensions associated with Cognitive Stimulation. The sample used for this study is composed of a collection of twenty activities from five technicians, four from each technician and well as several instruments of collection and analysis of data, specifically planning made by the technicians, observation of activities and semi-structured interviews of the technicians. The collection of this data is required so that it is possible to cross reference. The results of this study give relevance to the fact that in the activities observed, it was identifiable the presence of various competences of cognitive stimulation (memory, reasoning, focus, understanding, language, and motor competence). It is possible to verify that, on the observed activities, the technicians worked more competences than the ones initially lined out on their planning interviews, which indicates the lack of or diminished initial and ongoing development of studies in the area of cognitive stimulation.
