0384/2019 - Social network typologies of older people: A cross-national literature review. Tipologias de redes sociais da população idosa: Uma revisão transnacional da literatura.
O artigo apresenta uma revisão temática e narrativa não sistemática sobre tipologias de redes sociais pessoais da população idosa. Analisámos 18 estudos com amostras grandes de 14 países. A posição dos laços familiares, a composição da rede, o tamanho, a frequência de contactos e a participação comunitária são centrais na definição dos tipos de rede nesta população. As redes restritas e diversificadas emergem nas tipologias associadas, respetivamente, a menor ou maior apoio social, e são bons indicadores do bem-estar, saúde, saúde mental, apoio social e participação social. Transnacionalmente, verifica-se uma distribuição desigual da construção de tipologias. As diferentes tipologias, que devem ser culturalmente fundadas, fornecem diretrizes para planejar a intervenção, repensar serviços sociais e planejar políticas sociais.

Abstract:
This article presents an issue narrative non-systematic review about social network typologies for the older population. We analysed 18 studies with large samples14 countries worldwide. The position of family ties, network composition, network size, frequency of contacts and community participation are central to social network typologization in the older population. Restricted and diverse networks emerged in typologies associated, respectively, with less and more effective social support features, and are good predictors of well-being, health, mental health, social support and social participation. Cross-nationally, there is an unequal distribution of the construction of network typologies. The different typologies, that should be culturally grounded, provide guidelines to intervention planning, inform social service providers about emerging needs and contribute to social policy debate.
