Twenty-nine elderly were assessed on the attitudes toward aging before and after attending to an Estructural Educational Program (EEP), with a participative methodology. The program's objective was to strength and reorient the attitudes of aceptation, integration and communication. Subjects have been part of an urban sector of low social economical status from Cali, Colombia. A quasiexperimental research design, with a convenient sample was used. It was applied a questionnaire to each subject to collect biopsychosocial data, a Lickert scale before and after the EEP to measure attitudes, as well as an observational guide to measure individual and group behavior before and after each class. A statistical significative growth was observed on the attitudes toward integration, aceptation and communication (t22 = 2.46 p less than 0.05). Data indicated that elderly attitudes can be strengthened and reoriented through a EEP adjusted to the biopsychosocial characteristics of the group.
对29名老年人在参加一个采用参与式方法的结构化教育项目（EEP）前后对衰老的态度进行了评估。该项目的目标是强化和重新定位接受、融入和沟通的态度。这些受试者来自哥伦比亚卡利社会经济地位较低的城市地区。采用了准实验研究设计和便利样本。对每个受试者应用了一份问卷来收集生物心理社会数据，在EEP前后使用利克特量表来测量态度，并使用一份观察指南来测量每节课前后的个人和小组行为。观察到在融入、接受和沟通的态度上有统计学意义的增长（t22 = 2.46，p小于0.05）。数据表明，通过根据该群体的生物心理社会特征调整的EEP，可以强化和重新定位老年人的态度。
