Percepción subjetiva del envejecimiento en adultos mayores de más de 60 años, pertenecientes al grupo Salud y Vida, del centro de salud El Blanqueado, entre diciembre del 2015 y marzo del 2016

The subject of this investigation refers to the subjective perceptions of aging, when older adults face a number of biopsychosocial changes, typical of this period of their life. The subjective perception of aging occurs as a result of the experiences and senses built by each person throughout their life. These perceptions have been expressed by a group of older adults, by conducting with them two focus groups. Eight people voluntarily agreed to participate in each one. Subjective perceptions of aging highlight the presence of deficits in older adults, especially physical, but at the same time mostly emphasize the appreciation of themselves as useful human beings intended to be active participants with others and with their selves. They recognize that their current condition is directly related to their own life stories and that experienced changes have been faced sometimes with pain, but also with the decision to adapt to them. They point out that their goal is to stay active, with autonomy, independence, and taking care of their health. They emphasize the importance of maintaining harmonious relations with their family, keeping their health care and being an active part of a group of older adults; which allows them to preserve their emotional and physical stability.
