No imaginário social prevalecem construções sociais da velhice que influenciam a forma como a sociedade e o próprio idoso encaram o processo de envelhecimento, o valor conferido à pessoa e aos seus contextos relacionais próximos e distais (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). Com este estudo descritivo, exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa pretende-se analisar como o idoso residente em Cabo Verde perceciona e vivencia o seu processo de envelhecimento e os seus contextos relacionais. Os dados foram recolhidos numa amostra de conveniência, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas administradas individualmente que, depois de transcritas, foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2008; Kvale, 1996). Participaram neste estudo 8 idosos, de ambos géneros, com uma média de 76.63 anos, casados, reformados e sem relação de parentesco. Os dados corroboram uma perceção da velhice como um fenómeno natural e uma construção identitária positiva, pautada pela continuidade no tempo. Destaca-se ainda uma identidade espelhada do idoso no mundo com os outros.
In the social imaginary there are social constructions of aging that influence the way society and the elderly face the aging process, the value given to the person and to their near and distal relational contexts (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). This descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach aims to analyze how the elderly residents in Cape Verde experience and perceive their aging process and their relational contexts. Data were collected from a convenience sample, through semi-structured interviews individually administered. Aftertranscription they were subject to content analysis (Bardin, 2008; Kvale, 1996). In this study 8 elderly of both genders participated, with a mean of 76.63 years, married, retired and unrelated. The data corroborate a perception of aging as a natural phenomenon and a positive identity construction, marked by continuity in time. Noteworthy is also a mirror identity of the elderly in the world with others.
