Abstract:
Shahnon Ahmad ialah seorang penulis yang diangkat sebagai Sasterawan Negara oleh Kerajaan Malaysia. Pada masa yang sama, beliau seorang intelektual awam yang digemari oleh masyarakat. Buktinya karyanya Shit (1999) yang amat kontroversial. Dalam berkarya beliau tidak kenal kawan atau lawan, tidak gentar mengungkapkan apa-apa sahaja idea dan pendiriannya. Karyanya mulai tahun 60-an banyak sekali mengetengahkan pelbagai isu yang membelenggu rakyat, di desa dan di kota. Namun begitu, sejak sekitar awal 2000-an apabila memasuki usia emas, Shahnon memperlihatkan perubahan yang ketara dalam penulisannya. Beliau jelas kelihatan mula menerapkan penghayatan usia emasnya dalam karyanya. Dalam konteks tersebut, makalah ini bertujuan menganalisis novelet “Sebuah Mimpi Buat Hari Tua” (2003) dengan tumpuan terhadap keperihalan manusia pada usia emas. Karya ini dikaji berpandukan kerangka konseptual kajian gerontologi kritikal oleh Nancy R. Hooyman dan H. Asuman Kiyak. Kajian mendapati novelet “Sebuah Mimpi Buat Hari Tua” memenuhi tiga dimensi dalam kajian gerontologi kritikal iaitu biologi, psikologi dan sosial. Malah, karya ini juga memperlihatkan apa-apa yang dipaparkan oleh pengarang kelihatan selari dengan pandangan para sarjana dalam gerontologi kritikal. Penemuan kajian ini penting kerana hasilnya menegaskan kedudukan novelet “Sebuah Mimpi Buat Hari Tua” sebagai suatu bahan gerentologi sastera. Kata kunci: usia tua, gerontologi kritikal, dimensi biologi, dimensi psikologi, dimensi sosial, gerontologi sastera Abstract Shahnon Ahmad is a writer who has been elevated as a National Laurate by the Malaysian government. At the same time, he is a public intellectual well-liked by his community. As evidenced by the highly controversial novel Shit (1999), in producing his works he did not consider friends or opponents, and was never afraid in expressing his ideas and conviction. His works starting from the 60s often highlight various issues plaguing the communities in the urban and rural areas. However, since the early 2000s when Shahnon was at the later stage of his life, his writing had undergone an extreme change. He started to incorporate his experience of old age in his works. In this context, this article aims to analyse a novelette titled “Sebuah Mimpi Buat Hari Tua” (2003), with the focus on the human condition at old age. This work is analysed based on the conceptual framework of critical gerontology by Nancy R. Hooyman and H. Asuman Kiyak. This study finds that the novelette “Sebuah Mimpi Buat Hari Tua” fulfils three dimensions of gerontology, namely biological, psychological, and social. In fact, this literary work shows similarities between the author’s perspectives and the views of scholars in critical gerontology. The findings of this study are important because they assert the position of “Sebuah Mimpi Buat Hari Tua” as a material for literary gerontology. Keywords: aging, critical gerentology, biological dimension, psychological dimension, social dimension, literary gerontolgy

Abstract:
This prelude to the subsequent articles sets the stage for a discussion of the topic, “Generations of Gerontology: Aging, Continuity, and Change.” The authors define gerontology as a social system through which generations of gerontologists flow. As people move through this system, gerontology evidences both continuity and change in themes, theories, and methods. The broad sociocultural context within which gerontology exists reinforces, influences, and shapes the persistence of some aspects of gerontology while changing others. The subsequent articles deal with themes, theories, and methods. A fourth article provides a description of gerontology's sociocultural context, and encourages the development and use of our gerontological imagination. The concluding article attempts to synthesize the four other articles, and presents responses to the issues and challenges raised in those articles.

ABSTRACTObjective: to verify the scientific production on elder women, gender and sexuality in journals of Nursing, Public Health and Gerontology. Method: a systematic review of literature, in journals of Nursing, Public Health and Gerontology in Brazil, in the years 2003 to 2007. Results: the 362 articles were pre-selected (111 in nursing, 95 in Public Health and 156 in Gerontology), of these, seven focus on elderly women, gender and sexuality. It was possible to understand that sexuality and gender issues of elder women remain invisible, and few significant. From the seven articles three categories were abstracted: feminization of aging, social of women’s aging and asexualized elderly. Conclusion: the nurses and the groups of studies and research on gender began to dawn, showing interest in the issues. Requires that the educational projects of graduate programs in health, especially in nursing, bringing more thoughts on gender and sexuality of older women. Descriptors: woman; aging; sexuality; nursing.RESUMOObjetivo: verificar a produção científica sobre mulheres idosas, gênero e sexualidade em periódicos da Enfermagem, Saúde Pública e Gerontologia. Método: revisão sistemática de literatura, realizada em periódicos de Enfermagem, Saúde Pública e Gerontologia, no Brasil, nos anos de 2003 a 2007. Resultados: foram pré-selecionados 362 artigos (111 na Enfermagem; 95 na Saúde Pública e 156 na Gerontologia), destes, sete versaram sobre mulher idosa, gênero e sexualidade. Foi possível perceber que sexualidade e gênero das mulheres idosas continuam temas invisíveis e poucos expressivos. A partir dos sete artigos foram abstraídas três categorias: feminilização da velhice, questão social da velhice feminina, idosa assexualizada. Conclusão: os enfermeiros e os grupos de estudos e pesquisa sobre gênero começam a despontar, apresentando interesse com as temáticas. Necessita-se que os projetos pedagógicos dos cursos de graduação na área da saúde tragam mais reflexões sobre gênero e sexualidade das mulheres idosas.

Abstract:
This concluding article summarizes key points about continuity and change in gerontology as described in the four previous articles. Synthesis and discussion is focused on five major areas in which gerontological continuity and change are evidenced: 1) transformation of basic themes over time; 2) gerontology's identity crisis; 3) the social ideology of gerontology; 4) evolution and refinement of gerontological ideas and methods; and 5) temporal frameworks. The author raises questions about unsolved issues and suggests the eventual need to examine the roles of individuals in shaping the field of study called gerontology.

RESUMO Este estudo apresenta resultados de pesquisa realizada sobre o desenvolvimento da gerontologia educacional brasileira, através de uma abordagem metodológica interdisciplinar. O referencial teórico está baseado em uma revisão sistemática da literatura disponível. Obtive os dados em pesquisas realizadas entre 2000 e 2019, sobre essa temática, inclusive, usando meios online: Portal da Capes, do INEP, do MEC, e do IBGE, Plataforma Lattes, Domínio Público, Revistas Científicas, etc. Constato que a gerontologia educacional brasileira, em suas três áreas majoritárias de atuação, se encontra em um estado embrionário de desenvolvimento. Concluo que, a permanecer a gerontologia educacional brasileira nesse estado embrionário de desenvolvimento, dificilmente, o (a) velho(a) brasileiro(a) construirá o seu empoderamento e tampouco serão construídos a solidariedade intergeracional e um envelhecimento populacional digno. Palavras-chaves: Gerontologia Educacional; Educação; Velho(a); Estado Embrionário de Desenvolvimento. ABSTRACT This article presents the results of a research by means of interdisciplinary approach on the causes and consequences of the incipient state of the development of Brazilian educational gerontology, in its three main areas of application. A systemic review of the available literature yielded the theoretical background. I obtained the material here between 2000 and 2019, including online sources: portals of the Capes, INEP, MEC, IBGE, the Lattes platform, Domínio Público, scientific journals, etc. I conclude that some of the causes of the incipient state of the main three areas of Brazilian educational gerontology can be found in the lack of a national educational policy directed towards the Brazilian elderly population, as well as in the lack of any education on aging and in the lack of any specific education of professionals who are responsible for the several modes of elderly formal education. Several consequences result: the formal education offered to the elderly does not correspond to their educational needs; “myths” and stereotypes about old age, the elderly and aging are not questioned; preconceptions and discrimination about the elderly population continue; there is no professionalization of educational gerontology. In conclusion, educational gerontology, with its three main areas, is a necessity and exigency in contemporary societies in order to confront a rapidly ageing population. It is needed for the elaboration and implementation of public policies for the elderly as well as for the creation of specific educational policies that contribute to the empowerment of the elderly Brazilian person. Keywords: Educational Gerontology; Education; Elderly; Incipient State of Development.

Abstract:
Introdução: O termo envelhecer em casa tomou uma dimensão orientadora para dar resposta às necessidades dos idosos, adiando a institucionalização. O conceito “Aging in Place” dá a oportunidade para que as pessoas idosas permaneçam nas suas casas e mantenham os seus laços afetivos e as rotinas significativas. Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar o contributo da Terapia Ocupacional na Gerontologia Ambiental, com a temática “Envelhecer em casa”. Métodos: Assim, recorremos a uma revisão integrativa da literatura, a qual se desenvolveu em 6 etapas: definição do tema, identificação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, organização dos estudos pré-selecionados, categorização dos estudos analisados, discussão e interpretação dos resultados e revisão do conhecimento obtido. A recolha de dados foi feita de setembro a dezembro de 2019, tendo como critérios de inclusão estudos dentro do horizonte temporal de 2012 a 2020 publicados em bases indexadas em português e inglês. Resultados: Foram selecionados 26 estudos, sendo categorizados em i) Avaliação, que diz respeito às metodologias de avaliação utilizadas pela Terapia Ocupacional, no âmbito da Gerontologia Ambiental; e ii) Intervenção, com estudos direcionados às intervenções feitas pela Terapia Ocupacional no contexto domiciliar. Conclusão: Os terapeutas ocupacionais são indispensáveis para avaliar e intervir no contexto domiciliar da pessoa idosa, de forma a manter e/ou melhorar a sua capacidade funcional, além de a manter num ambiente que lhe é significativo. No entanto, há pouca evidência sobre os tipos de instrumentos de avaliação na área da Gerontologia Ambiental, sendo importante realizar mais estudos nesta temática.Palavras-chave: Gerontologia. Ambiente. Terapia Ocupacional. Envelhecimento. Domicílio. AbstractIntroduction: The concept ''aging in place'' became more instructing based, in order to answer the needs of the elderly, postponing institutionalization. Such concept offers elders an opportunity to remain in their homes as well as keeping their affective bonds and meaningful routines. Objective: Objectively, this study means to explore the contribute of Occupational Therapy in Environmental Gerontology, with the aging in place theme. Method: Therefore, we resorted to an integrative literature review, in which 6 steps were developed: the definition of the theme, recognition of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, organization of pre-selected studies, categorization of analysed studies, discussion and interpretation of results, and lastly, review of the gathered knowledge. The assembly of information was done from September to December in 2019, bearing as principles the inclusion of studies from within the years of 2012 to 2020 published in Portuguese and English. Results: From the 26 selected studies, these were categorized in: i) Evaluation, following the grading methods used by Occupational Therapy, on the scope of Environmental Gerontology; ii) Intervention, with studies aimed at interventions by Occupational Therapy in a household context. Conclusion: Occupational therapists are fundamental to evaluate and intervene on the elders' household context, in order to maintain or improve their functional capabilities, besides allowing the home environment to prevail. However, there is little evidence on the types of assessment instruments in the field of Environmental Gerontology, and it is important to carry out further studies on this topic.Keywords: Gerontology. Environment. Occupational Therapy. Aging in Place. ResumenIntroducción: La palabra envejecer en el hogar surgió de la necesidad de dar una respuesta a las necesidades de los mayores y sus familias. Las personas hacen su vida a diario, sus rutinas y evita una institucionalización de los mayores en centros. Los lazos de relación entre la familia y comunidad se mantienen al largo de la vida, no existiendo un hueco. Objetivo: Este estudio pretende conocer cuál el papel de la Terapia Ocupacional en áreas como Gerontología Ambiental y “Envejecer en Casa”. Método: Nos basamos en información variada y publicada que refiere 6 pasos tales como: definición del tema, definición de los criterios de inclusión/ excusión; organización de los estudios seleccionados, análisis de los estudios, discusión y debate de los resultados y un repaso del conocimiento obtenido. La recogida de información fue con encuestas y experimentos entre los meses de septiembre a diciembre de 2019. Resultados: Los estudios, un total de 26, entre los años 2012 y 2020 en publicaciones especializadas en lengua portuguesa e inglesa. Todos ellos siguen orientaciones: i) evaluación, métodos utilizados en Gerontología Ambiental, ii) intervención con basis en los estudios hechos en contexto de la familia. Conclusión: En esta parte destacamos el papel fundamental ejercido por los terapeutas ocupacionales que con su intervención permiten el desarrollo de capacidades en el medio en que viven. Hemos concluido que los estudios sobre la intervención de especialistas como los terapeutas ocupacionales aún son reducidos, necesitando investigación y conocimiento.Palabras Clave: Gerontología. Ambiente. Terapía Ocupacional. Envejecimiento. Hogar.

Abstract:
This paper is a personal account of five “eye-opening” career experiences in the author’s life that illustrate how biographical events shape opportunities and inspire knowledge- making in critical gerontology. Borrowing from Pierre Bourdieu’s methodological concept of “fieldwork in philosophy,” this account suggests that critical thinking only becomes eaningful in the lived contexts in which it is grounded, negotiated, transformed, and shared. Thus theoretical ideas about ageing, despite their abstract nature, have historical and unpredictable stories of their own that are worthy of a “fieldwork” approach. The paper also emphasises that the “critical” in critical gerontology includes a strong reflexive and self-critical dimension about the subjective conditions of doing gerontological research, especially in the face of gerontology’s claim to be an objective science.

Abstract:
Abstract Gerontology programs in the United States are on the decline despite the need for trained professionals who can serve a growing aging population (Pelham, Schafer, Abbott, & Estes, 2012). For many students, a gerontology course may be their only formal exposure to the concepts of aging. The development of gerontological pedagogy is important, but there is limited knowledge about what is being taught around the nation and to what extent course content reflects the current scope of the discipline. This symposium explores the role of individual instructors, the larger environment, and the efforts of organizational level criteria (i.e., AGHE standards to advance the field) to promote higher-quality gerontological education. The first presenter reports dissertation findings that examined college students’ self-perceptions of aging and how stereotypes impact them even after taking an introduction to gerontology course. The second presenter discusses the need for service-learning and community engagement in gerontology, while reporting on theoretical and practical suggestions, as well as potential pitfalls to avoid. The third presenter reports on student evaluations in a Master of Science program before and after the implementation of the Association for Gerontology’s proposed competencies. And our final presenter provides insights on applied perspectives and pedagogical approaches in and out of the classroom, including pitfalls and possibilities. Our discussant brings our ideas together to report on the discipline of gerontology and our potential to advance to the next level of pedagogical strategies.

Abstract:

Although older adults are more susceptible to loss, there are more support groups aimed towards helping young widowed persons than those ages 65 and over (Cox, 2010). The purpose of this project was to develop a curriculum for an eight-week grief support class for New Hope Grief Support Community in Long Beach, California. This curriculum will allow older adults who have lost a spouse or partner to learn how to cope with their loss while also learning to rely on new relationships as their main point of support. The curriculum is based on James William Worden's four tasks of mourning and New Hope's grief education format.

Abstract:
Aquesta tesi es situa en l´àmbit soci-sanitari gerontològic. Es parteix de l´idea que l´orientació prosocial en forma d´interacció interpersonal i també cultural organitzacional, afavoreix el benestar, la prevenció de la violència i és un factor protector d´una bona relació entre el personal sanitari i els actors amb els que aquest personal interactua. Per comprendre les dificultats i els mitjans de resposta des de la perspectiva de la comunicació prosocial, es realitza una investigació qualitativa que utilitza tres fonts: a) el model funcional helicoïdal; b) la bibliografia especialitzada sobre Comunicació Prosocial; b) i la pràctica, a través d´un procés de consulta-formació amb professionals soci-sanitaris. El marc epistemològic en el que van ser realitzades les sessions és la Participatory Action Research (PAR). Es van dur a terme 15 Grups de discussió (Focus Group), en els que han participat nou professionals experts que procedeixen de diferents centres sanitaris. Les sessions van ser gravades i gran part del material es va materialitzar en panels de visualització de les aportacions del membres del grup. Tot aquest material es va elaborar d´acord amb un procés d´anàlisi en tres fases, que incloïa nou passes. El resultat final es presenta com un model interpretatiu que informa sobre les dificultats i els mitjans d´afrontament que deuen ser considerats per promoure la comunicació prosocial en els contextos laborals considerats. L´estudi ha estat subjecte a diverses llistes de verificació (checklist) per garantir la seva credibilitat. Com conclusions de la investigació i de transferència, es destaca la revisió exhaustiva de totes les publicacions existents sobre Comunicació Prosocial. Es proposa un model que articula els resultats de les conceptualitzacions prèvies amb les contribucions actuals, proporcionant una síntesi integrada teòric-pràctica, única en l'àmbit dels serveis socials i de salut en gerontología i de gran abast per a programes preventius d'educació, formació i assessorament dirigit a professionals de salut.

The premise that underlies this contribution is that a prosocial orientation, behind interpersonal interactions and organizational cultures, should promotes wellbeing, prevent the enactment of violence, and be a protective factor by enhancing good relations among social-health professionals, individuals, and groups they interact with. From the approach of the Prosocial Communication and in order to understand the difficulties and mechanisms involved in the interactions, a qualitative research has been performed. Within this methodological framework three main sources were considered: (a) the functional helicoidally model; (b) the specialized literature on Prosocial Communication; and (c) the health professionals’ information that comes from the practice itself, in which process of inquiry and training were combined. Indeed, the epistemological framework in which these inquiry-training sessions were held is the named Participatory Action Research (PAR). A total of 15 Focus Groups were carried out, in which nine expert health professionals took part from different health centers. The sessions were recorded and a large part of results were evidenced using panels to display the contributions made by participants. Then, the material was analyzed in three phases, divided in nine different steps. The final outcome was an interpretative integrative model that informs about challenges and coping strategies that are needed in order to promote Prosocial Communication within the context of health care. Finally, to provide reliable evidences, the research has been subjected to an intense scrutiny by applying different checklists of assessment. Unambiguous conclusions and implications for practitioners are emphasised from the current dissertation. From an exhaustive revision of the existing literature, including scientific as well as non-scientific search engines, an integrative model of Prosocial Communication have been proposed. This model offered novel links between previous conceptualizations and current contributions, by providing a synthesis with theoretical-practical integrations, unique in the field of health and social services in gerontology. Educational preventive programs, training and counselling, which involves health professionals and caregivers, should gain from the new applied Model of Prosocial Communication.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to assess Masters of social Work students’ interest in gerontology. Students’ gerontological knowledge, attitude and experience with the aging population was examined to see if they have any influence on interest in working with older adults. The positivist worldview was used to identify students’ behavior toward older adults while checking to see if correlates to interest in working with that population. Survey questionnaire was used to collect information on student’s interest in working with older adults, their knowledge, attitude and experience. Modified versions of Palmore Facts on Aging Quiz (FAQ) and Kogan’s Attitude Toward Old People (KAOP) scales were used to collect information on students’ knowledge and attitude toward older adults. Additional questions about demographic data was included along with direct question on interest in working with the older adults. The results from the use of the quantitative approach allowed further statistical analysis using SPSS to identify relationships between the variables. The study found relationships between knowledge of aging and interest in aging-related work. The study recommends that future research examine factors that influence attitude and implementing gerontological education and training in social work programs to improve student’s interest in aging related work.
