PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE TRANSITION TO RETIREMENT: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

La jubilacion es un evento de vida de transicion que provoca cambios a los que las personas tienen que adaptarse, y conduce a vulnerabilidades bio-fisiologicas, psicologicas y sociologicas. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender como los jubilados portugueses perciben su experiencia de la transicion a la jubilacion. Un estudio cualitativo se llevo a cabo con 18 grupos focales (146 participantes recientemente jubilados) en instalaciones funcionales de salud ubicadas en la region central de Portugal continental. Los datos fueron sometidos a analisis de contenido, utilizando el NVivo10(r). Los resultados muestran que la jubilacion no solo afecta a las experiencias de las personas, pero tambien afecta a las experiencias de sus familias. Esto conduce al mismo tiempo a la percepcion de las ganancias y perdidas y el reentrenamiento y actualizacion de la vida. Llegamos a la conclusion de que la jubilacion es una fase de desarrollo humano de transicion que puede requerir una intervencion de enfermeria individual y familiar que pueden ayudar a promover el proceso de envejecimiento exitoso.

The experience of programs to promote health in retirement: a systematic review of qualitative evidence.

Background Retirement is a transition that occurs at the conclusion of the work phase of life, after years in which work has played an important role, and this can interfere with every dimension of the human ageing process. It can be seen as an event, as a status or as a process. Independently of these perspectives, intervention programs can promote the health status of individuals and their families during this life transition. Aging is one of the major issues affecting the current public health framework. For many societies there will be an increasing population of older persons leading to an increase the number of people living with chronic diseases and associated morbidity. As such, there is an urgent need to implement strategies that promote health and the quality of life in stage. Objectives The objective of this review was to identify programs that have been implemented with the goal of promoting the health of individuals and their families during their adjustment to retirement and identify the meaningfulness and appropriateness of programs implemented to improve the health status of individuals and families during their adjustment to retirement. Inclusion criteria Types of participants This review considered studies that included individuals newly retired (within five years of retirement) and their families. We did not consider any age range; what was important was the experience of the individual, independent of the age in which this transition occurred. Phenomena of interest This review considered studies that investigated the experiences of individuals and families during the initial retirement period who were subject to programs implemented to improve their health status, excluding programs that had returning to the labor market as a goal. Types of studies This review considered interpretive or critical studies that drew on the experiences of individuals and their families including, but not limited to, designs such as phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, action research and feminist research. In the absence of research studies, other text such as opinion papers and reports were considered. Search strategy The search strategy aimed to find both published and unpublished studies. An initial search of MEDLINE and CINAHL was undertaken followed by an analysis of text words contained in the title and abstract, and of index terms used to describe the article. Using all identified keywords and index terms, another search was then undertaken across all included databases. The reference list of all identified reports and articles was searched for additional studies. Studies published in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and those published from 2000 to 2013 were considered for inclusion. Results The number of potentially relevant studies identified following the search was 567. Of these, seven were excluded as duplicates; of the remaining 560, from the title and abstract assessment, 540 were excluded, and 20 out of the 20 articles were excluded for not fulfilling the inclusion criteria when the full text was read. There were no studies located that met the inclusion criteria of this review. Conclusions There is currently no evidence available to determine the meaningfulness and appropriateness of programs that have been implemented to improve the health status of individuals and families during their adjustment to retirement. According to the conducted analysis, health promotion in retirement is an area which needs scientific and economic investment as there is a lack of evidence that describes programs directed to retirees and their families and that measure the meaningfulness and appropriateness in what concerns their health status.
