Estado emocional, socio afectivo y pensamiento crítico de los adultos mayores del Asilo San José de Pamplona.

Abstract

The present project entitled "Emotional state, socio affective and critical thinking of the elderly adults of Asylum San José de Pamplona ", aims to explore these factors through a qualitative study, which generated the construction of a Logo-therapeutic Primer which is called "In Search of Sense..." Developed a qualitative methodology applying to a sample of 6 older adults through a non-participant observation and a semi-structured interview; additionally, a semi-structured interview is applied to 6 caregivers of the same, these techniques being designed and endorsed for project purposes. The conclusions suggest that, if the population is satisfied with what they have achieved and has a sense of achievement, both their ability to adapt and their state of mind is positive, these people are the ones who are gratified by the fact that they can help the rest; in contrast, if this analysis is negative, their emotional state is not favorable, and these people do not establish social bonds, isolating themselves from their peers; The interpersonal relationships that take place within the institution depend to a large extent on the mood of the person, as well as on the support networks that they have, because the adults who, on behalf of their family, have been abandoned are people who are isolated and those who have structured support networks are older adults already adapted, being more assertive and interacting easily with peers.
