“…Destaca-se que a literatura científica mostra que a autoestima é um dos principais preditores de envelhecimento bemsucedido entre os idosos. A prática da enfermagem sugere que as ações realizadas sejam capazes de promover uma melhora da autoestima visando maior grau de adaptabilidade ao envelhecimento, apesar de problemas de saúde e questões pessoais, nesta fase da vida (17) .…”

AUTOESTIMA DE IDOSOS COMUNITÁRIOS E FATORES ASSOCIADOS: ESTUDO DE BASE POPULACIONAL* SELF-ESTEEM OF COMMUNITY-BASED ELDERLY AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY ABSTRACT:The aim was to assess the self-esteem of community-based elderly and verify its association with socio-demographic and health variables. The epidemiological survey was held in the urban region of Uberaba, a city in the state of Minas Gerais, with 980 elderly people. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Katz, Lawton and Short Geriatric Depression Scales were used and, for descriptive analysis, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation and multiple linear regression were used (p<0.05). The data were collected between August 2012 and March 2013. The female gender was predominant, 70-80 years, married, income one minimum wage, between four and seven years of education, who lived with their children. The median number of illnesses was five. The median selfesteem score was ten. The predictors of worse levels of selfesteem were higher age (p<0.01), lower education (p=0.021) and signs of depression (p<0.001). The community-based elderly presented high self-esteem and signs of depression were the main predictor of low self-esteem.

“…The concept of 'successful aging' has also been defined in relation to one's subjective sense of value, as well as the absence of severe chronic disease and disability, maintenance of good physical and cognitive abilities, and preservation of social and productive activities, such as leisure participation [18,36]. Cha et al [22] focused on attributes such as self-esteem, selfachievement, interpersonal relationships, and selfefficacy, while Carlson et al [37] highlighted a sense of control over one's life, and achieving continuity with one's past, as part of the definition.…”

“…Cognitive functioning has been added to the medical definition of healthy aging due to research that highlights the neurophysiological and neuropsychological basis of cognition [21]. Psychological functioning related to healthy aging concerns the individual's attitudes, resilience, and personal definitions of aging [19,22,23].…”

“…A cross-sectional study of older Korean adults examined their perception of successful aging [22] and found that the factor with the most influence on successful aging was self-esteem; this was followed by self-achievement, interpersonal relationships, and self-efficacy. According to the participants, the successful aging of older Korean adults can be achieved by receiving the correct and necessary support during older age, relying on confidence in one's own abilities as an older adult, acquiring a sense of self-worth, expanding one's achievements, and attaining self-satisfaction with one's life [22].…”

Healthy aging is reflected in well-being, participation, playfulness, and cognitive-emotional functioning

An aging population generates an array of social and health concerns, among which is the psychological and cognitive well-being of the elderly. Recently, the focus in gerontology has expanded from the avoidance of agerelated decline to the promotion of healthy aging. Factors such as cognitive and emotional status are considered to be potential contributors to well-being, and to participation in the community. This paper discusses the possible contribution of another factor -a person's playfulness -to healthy aging. Playfulness is a multidimensional concept that describes the mental propensity to engage in playful behavior, and includes properties such as fun-seeking motivation, uninhibitedness, and spontaneity. Research suggests that playfulness facilitates healing, improves morale, and increases motivation. Thus, it can be speculated that playfulness relates to other indicators of well-being, including psychological, cognitive, and physical aspects. Studies of the concept of playfulness mostly pertain to its measurement in young adults, with a paucity of research on older adult playfulness. In addition, the majority of research on Americans' health is "negative or disease-oriented," particularly in studies of older adults. There is compelling evidence that positive factors in individuals' lives, such as favorable emotions, happiness, life satisfaction, and quality of life relate intimately to healthy aging. Playfulness might be an important characteristic of cognitive functioning and emotional growth, which are both key components of healthy aging. This paper discusses the relationship and possible contribution of the concept of playfulness to the various indicators of healthy aging.
