Abstract
O presente estudo propõe-se analisar o impacto das atitudes face ao
envelhecimento no ajustamento ao envelhecimento e na satisfação com a vida,
considerando, ainda, no conjunto destas relações, o efeito mediador da espiritualidade.
Os efeitos diretos e indiretos do modelo teórico proposto foram testados numa amostra
de 204 participantes adultos e idosos com 55 ou mais anos de idade. Os resultados
confirmam que atitudes positivas face ao envelhecimento estão associadas a um maior
nível de ajustamento ao envelhecimento, a um maior nível de espiritualidade e a um
maior nível de satisfação com a vida. Do mesmo modo, confirma-se o papel mediador
da espiritualidade na relação entre atitudes face ao envelhecimento e o ajustamento ao
mesmo, assim como na relação entre atitudes face ao envelhecimento e satisfação com a
vida. Os resultados são discutidos em termos das suas implicações, nomeadamente
considerando a importância e necessidade de promoção de atitudes positivas face ao
envelhecimento para um envelhecimento ajustado e para um maior nível de satisfação
com a vida.
The present study proposes to analyze the impact of attitudes towards ageing in the adjustment to ageing and satisfaction with life, considering, still, in the whole of these relations, the mediator effect of spirituality. The direct and indirect effects of the proposed theoretical model were tested in a sample of 204 adult and elderly participants with 55 or more years of age. The results confirm that positive attitudes towards ageing are associated with higher level of adjustment to ageing, to a higher level of spirituality and a higher level of satisfaction with life. Likewise, the mediator role of spirituality in the relationship between attitudes towards ageing and adjustment to it, as well as the relationship between attitudes towards ageing and satisfaction with life. The results are discussed in terms of their implications, in particular considering the importance and need to promote positive attitudes towards ageing for an adjusted ageing and higher level of satisfaction with life.
