“…This situation is not different in Brazil, where ageing and disability have negative cultural connotations due to the high appreciation of youth and body aesthetics (Andrade, 2011; Couto & Koller, 2012; Goldani, 2010; Vasconcelos, 2012). Being old and living with disabilities is an undesirable condition, as the perceived attribute is the wear and tear of the body with consequent functional failures (Morando et al, 2018). It is a deleterious view, which makes it difficult for older people to be socially accepted and further marginalises them.…”

Background: Mobility challenges may indicate functional decline and are a relevant problem faced by older people. An individual's perception of mobility is affected and moderated by several factors and varies significantly from one community to another.Providing an improved understanding of how older people perceive and experience mobility is a step towards better preparing nurses for roles they are increasingly expected to play. Purpose:The purpose of the study was to investigate perceptions and experiences of mobility in a group of Brazilian community-dwelling older people living with mobility challenges.Method: Data were generated between June and October 2018 through in-depth interviews, socio-demographic surveys and field notes. Purposive sampling strategies were used to recruit 23 Brazilian older people to participate in this focused ethnographic study. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.Findings: Perceptions of Brazilian community-dwelling older people living with mobility challenges were culturally learned and influenced by the social, physical and health environments. Participants' previous experiences with mobility had significant implications on values they attributed to mobility challenges. In addition, older people's experiences with mobility challenges were an integral part of sense of self and strongly related to contextual factors. Conclusions:This study contributes new information to the field of inquiry on mobility of older people as it focuses on the perceptions of a specific age group and culture and attends to the interrelationships between health conditions and contextual factors affecting the mobility of older people.Implications for practice: This study's particular contributions to the nursing discipline are related to improving care by revealing the significance of the context of mobility in which nursing actions are applied.

“…A Hipótese da Distração de Sachs sustenta que a prática do exercício físico proporcionaria uma distração das preocupações do cotidiano (Gabriel & Pozzobon, 2013;Godoy, 2002). Apesar disso, ainda há muitas medidas a serem tomadas para retirar o idoso da posição estigmatizada em que se encontra (Morando et al, 2018). É importante ressaltar que o estudo aqui apresentado pretende não apenas servir de apoio a pesquisas mais avançadas na área da saúde geriátrica, mas também como uma forma de chamar a atenção para formas simples e econômicas de melhorar a saúde desta parcela da população brasileira, que é cada vez mais numerosa e, contudo, é tão negligenciada pelas políticas públicas.…”

“…No entanto, quando a vida já tem sua maior parte no passado, envelhecer pode adquirir um sentido mais negativo, visto que a cultura contemporânea tende a excluir e marginalizar o idoso, tratando-o como uma pessoa inválida. A palavra velhice pode passar, então, a significar decadência (Freitas, Queiroz, & Sousa, 2010;Morando, Schmitt, Ferreira, & Mármora, 2018). Assim, neste estágio do desenvolvimento humano, com frequência, as pessoas idosas têm a tendência a sentirem-se inúteis, ansiosas, frustradas, mal-humoradas, irritadas e depressivas.…”

Na velhice, a capacidade aeróbica, a força muscular, a flexibilidade, o equilíbrio, o tempo de reação e movimento, a agilidade e a coordenação são gradativamente reduzidos. Isso pode acarretar inúmeras dificuldades para a realização das tarefas cotidianas e para a independência funcional dessas pessoas. Esses idosos sentem-se, com frequência, inúteis, ansiosos, frustrados, mal-humorados, irritados e, até, deprimidos. Por outro lado, a prática de atividades físicas regulares pode trazer melhorias para a saúde física e mental dos praticantes. Esta pesquisa investigou a relação entre o exercício físico regular e a depressão em indivíduos idosos. Participaram da pesquisa 160 pessoas de 60 a 85 anos de idade, sendo 84 praticantes de tipos variados de atividades físicas regulares e 76 sedentários. Para avaliar a depressão foi usada Escala de Depressão para Idosos, constituída pelas dimensões cognitiva-afetiva e somática-motora. Nos resultados, os idosos sedentários apresentaram graus médios mais elevados sem todas as dimensões da depressão comparados com os praticantes de exercícios físicos regulares. Na discussão, são abordadas as hipóteses neurofisiológicas e psicossociais para explicar os efeitos positivos do exercício regular sobre o humor dos praticantes.

ABSTRACT. In July 2019, Belo Horizonte hosted an international workshop for 27 junior researchers, whose participants were from Brazil and the United Kingdom. This three-day meeting organized by the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and the University of East Anglia addressed challenges in cognitive impairment and dementia, with particular interest in public perceptions, diagnosis and care management. The purpose of this report is to highlight the outcomes of the above-mentioned workshop regarding the topic of public perceptions (part I). Discussions focused on differences and similarities between countries, as well as on identifying main issues that required collaborative and creative solutions. After these group discussions, four core themes emerged: I) cognitive impairment; II) dementia - beyond Alzheimer’s disease; III) prevention; and IV) stigma. National and international initiatives to deal with public misperceptions about cognitive impairment and dementia were discussed.
