“…For example, stereotypes include the views that (a) with age inevitably comes dementia; (b) older adults have high rates of mental illness, particularly depression; (c) older adults are inefficient in the workplace; (d) most older adults are frail and ill; (e) older adults are socially isolated; (f) older adults have no interest in sex or intimacy; and (g) older adults are inflexible and stubborn (Edelstein & Kalish, 1999). These stereotypes are not accurate, since research has found that the vast majority of older adults are cognitively intact, have lower rates of depression than younger persons (Fiske, Wetherell, & Gatz, 2009), are adaptive and in good functional health (Depp & Jeste, 2006;Rowe & Kahn, 1997), and have meaningful interpersonal and sexual relationships (Carstensen et al, 2011;Hillman, 2012). In fact, many older adults adapt successfully to life transitions and continue to evidence personal and interpersonal growth (Hill, 2005).…”

“…A atividade física constitui um elemento crucial para o envelhecimento bem-sucedido, já que promove melhor saúde e ajuda os idosos a permanecerem independentes (Depp & Jeste, 2009;Franklin & Tate, 2009). O hábito do exercício na velhice coopera para melhorar o desempenho em atividades de vida diária, o controle de doenças crônicas, o senso de controle e de autoeficácia e a autopercepção de saúde (De Vitta et al, 2006;Ribeiro et al, 2009).…”

Participated thirteen men of an social center for elderly in operation at a private university located in Brasilia, Brazil, ages 62 to 78 years (M = 69.5). All of them were married, literate, retired and with chronic diseases. Data relating to the habits of life of the elderly were obtained through individual interviews conducted before and after the engagement of these in nine thematic group meetings grounded in cognitive-behavioral model. The results showed the strengthening of physical exercise, healthy eating and assertive behaviors by participants, as well as greater emphasis on beliefs about the benefits of health-promoting behaviors. The intervention was useful to maximize healthy habits, although it has larger effects to sensitize and maintain than to change behaviors.

“…Finally, all of the codes were entered into Dedoose, a computer program designed for qualitative and mixed-methods analyses (Dedoose, 2015). Using the method of constant comparison (Glaser and Strauss, 1967), codes were then grouped into broader themes, and provided the basis for a group discussion among all the authors regarding the thematic salience and ensuing conceptual map of themes.…”

Objective: Wisdom is a complex trait, and previous research has identified several components of wisdom. This study explored the possible impact of a diagnosis of a terminal illness on the conceptualization and evolution of wisdom while facing the end of life.Design and Participants: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 hospice patients aged 58-97 years who were in the last six months of their life. Methods:Hospice patients were asked to describe the core characteristics of wisdom, as well as how their terminal illness might have impacted their understanding of this concept. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and coded by the research team using a grounded theory analytic approach based on coding consensus, co-occurrence, and comparison.Results: Broad concepts of wisdom described by the hospice patients align with the extant literature, thereby supporting those general conceptualizations. In addition, hospice patients described how their life perspectives shifted after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. Post-illness wisdom can be characterized as a dynamic balance of actively accepting the situation while simultaneously striving for galvanized growth. This delicate tension motivated the patients to live each day fully, yet consciously plan for their final legacy. Conclusion:The end of life offers a unique perspective on wisdom by highlighting the modulation between actively accepting the current situation while continuing the desire to grow and change at this critical time. This paradox, when embraced, may lead to even greater wisdom while facing one's own mortality.
