Estrategias de salud mental en adultos mayores de la fundación funprovida

Abstract

This thesis is aimed at creating a documentary video on mental health strategies for older adults from the funprovida foundation. In the current context, the well-being of the aging population is of utmost importance, which is why the situation of this population group is described, the challenges and risks they face are highlighted, and the relevance of considering psychological, emotional, and social factors they are going through is emphasized. Therefore, the justification of the research lies in the contribution to knowledge and the fact that the community can reflect on the subject. The qualitative approach, a descriptive scope, and a type of case study design allow through techniques such as semi-structured interviews applied to professionals, participant observation in the foundation, and life stories of older adults who participate in the project. The exploration addresses data on the problem of mental health in older adults, and aims to highlight the need to raise awareness in society about this demographic group, through a 22-minute documentary video that reveals the strategies used by the funprovida foundation to intervene in the mental health of the elderly.
