To reveal the conditions that allow the Open University for the Elderly to be a possibility for active aging.
Qualitative study anchored in the theoretical framework of Symbolic Interactionism and in the methodology of Grounded Theory. From April to October 2020, 14 elderly people, two coordinators, and six teachers linked to university activities for the elderly participated in individual interviews. Data analysis was carried out by three interdependent coding steps - open, axial and integration - with the support of the Atlas.ti software.
The conditions that allow the program to be configured as an opportunity for active aging are related to the meanings attributed to aging well; the social determination of participation; motivations in the search for the program; the functions performed by the program; and public and institutional policies of the university to which it is linked.
University activities for the elderly are a possibility for active aging, but socially constructed barriers make access to them difficult.
揭示使老年开放大学成为积极老龄化的可能性的条件。
扎根于符号互动论理论框架和扎根理论方法的定性研究。2020 年 4 月至 10 月,14 名老年人、2 名协调员和 6 名与老年人大学活动相关的教师参加了个人访谈。数据分析通过三个相互依赖的编码步骤(开放式、轴向和整合)进行,使用 Atlas.ti 软件提供支持。
允许该计划配置为积极老龄化机会的条件与对健康老龄化的意义的归属有关;参与的社会决定因素;对该计划的追求的动机;该计划执行的功能;以及与之相关的大学的公共和机构政策。
老年人的大学活动是积极老龄化的一种可能性,但社会构建的障碍使获得这些活动变得困难。
