0201/2019 - Educação popular, promoção da saúde e envelhecimento ativo: Uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa. Popular education, health promotion and active ageing: An integrative literature review.
O envelhecimento populacional é um fenômeno mundial e requer ações que propiciem bem-estar e previnam agravos e hospitalizações evitáveis. O propósito deste artigo foi identificar ações educativas e de promoção de saúde voltadas ao envelhecimento ativo. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa de estudos publicados no ano de 2005 a agosto de 2018 nas bases de dados Lilacs e Medline, e nas bibliotecas virtuais SciELO e BVS em português, inglês e espanhol. Foram encontrados 2069 estudos sobre os temas, sendo selecionados 33 depois de aplicados os critérios de inclusão. A observação mostrou que as ações identificadas promovem a adoção de hábitos saudáveis e a participação dos idosos, caracterizando-as como promotoras do envelhecimento ativo. No entanto, observam-se que estão limitadas ao segmento de idosos, o que pode favorecer à segregação etária, além de considerar o envelhecimento a partir da terceira idade e não um processo contínuo da vida. Das ações aqui evidenciadas, embora importantes, apenas onze delas foram avaliadas, o que sugere que a avaliação ainda não está sedimentada nos processos de intervenções de educação e promoção da saúde para mostrar efetividade e favorecer a replicação em outros locais ou serviços.

Initially 2069 articles were found and 33 were ed after using the inclusion criteria. The analysis, showed that all the actions seems to promote healthy habits and the participation of the elderly, characterizing them as actions that promote active aging. However, most of them were developed only with older people, which may lead to an age segregation. They also considered the ageing process as a matter of older people and not as a process during life span. Although important such activities, only eleven were evaluated. It suggests that evaluation of activities of health education and promotion is not yet grounded in the intervention protocols to show effectiveness and to favor replication else.
