| Sumario: | This study aimed at understanding the Social Representations of aging of the senior citizens who live in a Brazilian river island. It is a qualitative-exploratory study with intentional non-probabilistic sample. Socio-demographic questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used. Participants were 100 elderly people, paired by gender, aged between 60-89 years old (M= 71 years, SD= 7). From the Descending Hierarchical Classification obtained through the IRaMuTeQ software, six classes were presented. They showed representations on the divine grant of aging, chronological aging and cumulative implications, biopsychosocial losses and their impact on functionality, and fear of becoming dependent. It is hoped that the present study will contribute to interventions on the aging of the riverine elderly and subsidize further research in the gerontological field about this population. |
