Soledad existencial en residencias de mayores: una mirada cualitativa a las experiencias vitales

soledad existencial, salud emocional, residencias, personas mayores, final de la vida, entrevistas, trayectorias vitalesResumen
Este trabajo busca comprender la soledad existencial de personas que viven en residencias de mayores a través de sus experiencias vitales. A través de un planteamiento deductivo –con un guion con temas a priori– y mediante una aproximación temática reflexiva, se analizaron 34 entrevistas semi-estructuradas a personas que vivían en residencias públicas de Sevilla que permitieron explorar en profundidad sus narrativas biográficas. La soledad existencial emergió como parte de su cotidianeidad, y se enlazó con aspectos como la consciencia ante la cercanía de la muerte, la normalización del final de la vida, la falta de proyecto vital, la vivencia de una felicidad vicaria a través de la familia y el vacío existencial que dejan las pérdidas de personas del círculo cercano. Para mejorar el bienestar emocional y existencial de las personas que viven en residencias de mayores es necesario facilitar relaciones y experiencias significativas dentro y fuera de la residencia.
