| contents | Housing conditions and the degree of home satisfaction of elderly riverside residents of the Amazon region Rodolfo Gomes do Nascimento Ronald de Oliveira Cardoso Zeneide Nazaré Lima dos Santos Denise da Silva Pinto Celina Maria Colino Magalhães Psicología Amazon Psychology Personal satisfaction Housing for the elderly At the crossroads of environmental psychology and social gerontology, this descriptive and exploratory study investigates the housing conditions of the elderly who live close to an Amazonian river and assesses their degree of satisfaction with their housing. Using four instruments, we study 23 elderly residents of the river islands of the municipality of Cametá, Pará, Brazil. Despite high territorial isolation, low socioeconomic status, and largely inappropriate housing conditions, the results reveal the elderly’s overall satisfaction with their home environment, except in relation to accessibility and safety. The data of this study give larger visibility to people’s main needs in this context and provide relevant information for the planning of social and health policies aimed at bettering the quality of this stage of the life span. 2017 artículo científico 1413-8271 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401054302002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4010 Psico-USF application/pdf Universidade São Francisco Psico-USF (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.22 |
