Resumo
HERNANDEZ-MARTINEZ, Rafael et al. Experiences of the elderly in a residence during confinement by COVID-19: a qualitative study. Gerokomos [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.1, pp.9-14. Epub 25-Set-2023. ISSN 1134-928X.
Objective:
This paper aims to understand and explore the concerns and experiences generated by confinement by COVID-19 in the elderly.
Methodology:
Qualitative study of a phenomenological type based on semi-structured interviews. The information was analysed by content analysis and verified by the triangulation approach.
Results:
Eight coinciding categories emerged: feelings during confinement, health concerns, changes in one’s health, lifestyle changes, health professional support, coping strategies, information about COVID-19, and concerns about the future.
Conclusions:
Identifying the experiences of the elderly during confinement by Covid-19 has shown in this population the difficulties that arise from day to day and the capacities that they have had to carry out to withstand and overcome this difficult period of the pandemic.
Palavras-chave : COVID-19; elderly person; institutionalisation; confinement; semi-structured interview.
