“…Personal perceptions of ageing, illness and health status emerged as having significant impacts upon GSE and subsequent health behaviours (Da Silva & Lautert, 2010; O'Shea et al, 2016, 2017; Patrão et al, 2019; Schüz et al, 2012). The expectations and acceptance of consequences caused by ageing‐related physical and cognitive decline or illness were significantly related to an older person's level of GSE.…”

“…Current and previous literature highlighted a synergistic relationship between self-efficacy and social support, whereby the positive effects from higher self-efficacy are mediated by perceived social support (Fu et al, 2018;Lara et al, 2020;. Other literature also found perceived social support and depression to predict GSE in older people, and that GSE, depression, and perceived social support predicted adult's level of self-efficacy for managing chronic illness (Fan & Lv, 2016;Patrão et al, 2019).…”

Aims and objectives The aim of this integrative review was to investigate current literature exploring relationships between general self‐efficacy and the healthy ageing of older people. Background Enhancing the health and well‐being of older adults, while mitigating consequences of illness and frailty are important priorities in healthy ageing. General self‐efficacy is closely associated with human behaviour and has been linked with improved health and well‐being. Design An integrative review using the five‐stage method described by Whittemore and Knafl (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2005, 52, 546). Methods Academic databases CINAHL, MEDLINE and APA PsycInfo were searched between 2010 and 2020 for original, peer‐reviewed papers, published in English that investigated general self‐efficacy and factors associated with the healthy ageing of older people. Included papers were critically appraised using the Appraisal tool for Cross‐Sectional Studies (AXIS tool) and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme, and underwent data abstraction and synthesis via a constant comparative method. This review was also evaluated using the PRISMA checklist. Results Twenty‐one papers were included in this review. Two main themes emerged. The first highlights positive relationships between general self‐efficacy and health and ageing perceptions, with subsequent influence on health behaviours. The second includes two sub‐themes, which explores general self‐efficacy’s role in maintaining well‐being through its effects on psychological health and overcoming physical decline through adaption to changing physical and health conditions. Conclusions Promoting general self‐efficacy has potential benefits for the healthy ageing of older people through positive effects on ageing and health perceptions, health behaviours, psychological health and overcoming physical decline. Relevance to clinical practice Understanding how general self‐efficacy facilitates healthy ageing can guide nursing practices that reduce or mitigate consequences of illness and physical decline on the health and well‐being of older people. Strategies aimed at increasing older people’s general self‐efficacy can help to facilitate subsequent positive effects on factors that promote healthy ageing.

“…Neste estudo, as pessoas idosas com 75 anos ou mais apresentaram maior risco para percepção de baixo suporte social. A associação entre faixa etária e suporte social foi observada em outros estudos (Dai et al, 2016;Souza et al, 2017) que revelaram que a percepção do suporte social diminui com o processo de envelhecimento devido a processos de seleção socioemocional, ter menos pessoas para buscar apoio e conforto em uma crise, bem como pessoas para dar suporte prático (Patrão et al, 2018;Sant'Ana & D'Elboux, 2019). As pessoas idosas longevas são aquelas que apresentam maior demanda de algum tipo de assistência, mesmo quando não são dependentes.…”

O suporte social percebido é um importante moderador da saúde de pessoas idosas e é um indicador de como as famílias se organizam quanto ao atendimento das necessidades dos membros mais velhos. Entender os fatores familiares que afetam a percepção de suporte é importante para o reconhecimento de recursos e vulnerabilidades na velhice. Objetivo: Verificar os fatores familiares associados à percepção de suporte social entre pessoas idosas. Método: Participaram 134 idosos, do interior do estado da Bahia, entrevistados em domicílio, no qual se avaliou: 1) a configuração familiar (arranjo de moradia, contribuição financeira e chefia familiar); a satisfação com os relacionamentos familiares - APGAR da família; 3) o clima familiar - Inventário do Clima Familiar e; 4) Suporte social percebido - Interpersonal Support Evaluation na versão reduzida. Para a análise dos dados foram feitas regressão logística univariada e multivariada, com critério Stepwise de seleção de variáveis (p<0,05). Resultados: As pessoas idosas com maior risco de menor percepção de suporte social foram: as com menor percepção de clima familiar positivo (risco 3.6 vezes maior); as com insatisfação no domínio adaptação familiar (risco 6.3. vezes maior); as com maior idade – 75 anos+ (risco 2.8 vezes maior); e as que exerciam chefia familiar (risco 2.8 vezes maior). Conclusões: Os fatores familiares associados à menor percepção de suporte social entre pessoas idosas são o baixo apoio e coesão familiar, a insatisfação com a adaptação familiar frente às demandas na velhice, ser longevo e a responsabilidade de ser chefe de família.

“…Family regulates or controls the behavior of each family member and provides encouragement, support, and information (i.e., social sanctions and norms) to lead a positive and healthy life. The support from family at adverse situations works as a source of coping and provides a greater sense of self-worth and enhances self-esteem (Cohen, 2004 ; Patrão et al, 2018a , b , 2019 ; Thomas and Umberson, 2018 ). The significant role of the family in challenging age norms is evident in the “family came forward and fix the broken box” theme.…”

An individual's life is shaped by age norms practiced in a particular society. In most societies, there is a deadline for every life event. Sexual intimacy is an essential part of every individual. However, sexual intimacy seems appropriate for young individuals, and middle-aged and older are considered asexual. Those who share sexual intimacy at a later age have to face the consequences for this age-inappropriate behavior in society. This study analyses “Badhaai Ho” film to explore the consequences of sharing sexual intimacy by middle-aged heterosexual couples in their 50s as it is forbidden by prevalent social norms. This study also explores the role of family in dealing with the repercussions of actions against the prescribed social norms. Thematic analysis suggests that society has a predefined age-bound box for individuals with different age categories. The middle-aged couple suffers various consequences for breaking the prescribed age-bound box. The role of the family is found to be crucial in mending the box by replacing it with an updated version. There are also gender differences in attitude toward sexual intimacy. Implications of this study can be utilized to explore the pathway of social change in existing social (age) norms in any society.
