Capacidad resiliente en el adulto mayor en situación de abandono

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the resilient capacity of the elderly in a situation of abandonment belonging to the Esteban Quirola Foundation in order to strengthen their quality of life. In order to carry out the research process, a bibliographic review of several scientific articles was carried out, from which relevant information was obtained on the importance of the resilient attitude in the senile age. The work of systematization of experience consisted of a phenomenological approach with a descriptive design which allowed explaining the reality of the older adults of the institution. The qualitative approach was used through the analysis of the interview technique carried out with 12 participants, 6 men and 6 women, where the results showed that the aging process must be reinforced by means of resilient attitudes that the older adult establishes, since their emotional state is moderately affected. For this reason, in Chapter III, a therapeutic plan will be provided to support a good orientation that allows to respond to the needs according to the available resources and in this way promote an active aging.
