Brief Summary:
The main objective of the study is to understand retired people's perception of retirement, to know their personal experience and to jointly seek solutions to the needs and problems encountered.
Secondarily, the aim is to understand the impact that an active aging program intervention implemented in retired people, based on the use of technology and considering the basis for the adaptation of the Prochaska and Diclemente Trans-Theoretical Model, can have in their quality of life.
Detailed Description:
The present study has been approached from a mixed-methods research. Mainly, the study is focused on a Research-Action-Participation method in order for empowering and to people having more control over their lives. This approach was used taking into account the many changes caused by leaving working life to begin the stage of retirement. In reference to participatory methods, techniques such as brainstorming, and consensus-building and visual techniques have been included.
The quantitative approach is a complementary method to the qualitative approach based on a quasi-experimental study, as no control group has been introduced. From this approach, a descriptive and comparative study has been carried out on quality of life and the behavior adopted in the adaptation to retirement, both measured before and after the intervention.
The intervention program developed consists of a brief-intervention about 5 sessions lasting between 45-60 minutes. It was intended to address the concerns and needs that emerge from the participants' interviews. The intervention is based on the principles of the process of adaptation to retirement defined by Atchley and the Prochaska and Diclemente Model on the phases of preparation for retirement. The material to be used will be based on existing resources for retired people, awareness through multimedia material and knowledge of possible contributions of different technological devices to healthy-lifestyle.
