Resumen
La investigación aborda el aislamiento social en hogares geriátricos, centrándose en los factores psicosociales que lo provocan y las técnicas de intervención social. Se llevó a cabo entre 2024 y 2025, evaluando el papel del adulto mayor dentro de la familia. El aislamiento es un fenómeno común debido a estereotipos sociales, desigualdad y
barreras que afectan la participación y el bienestar de los mayores, quienes se vuelven más vulnerables al ingresar a estos hogares. Las dificultades de movilidad, audición y
socialización complican su adaptación. A pesar de los esfuerzos del personal para suplir necesidades, los adultos mayores a menudo no se sienten seguros ni comprendidos en el
nuevo entorno, lo que impide una mayor integración. Además, la desconexión familiar y la falta de apoyo contribuyen al aislamiento, reflejando una visión social limitada de la vejez. La investigación señala que la vejez debe ser valorada como una etapa productiva, en lugar de ser vista como un obstáculo. El desafío radica en mejorar la integración familiar y
social para transformar los hogares geriátricos en espacios donde los adultos mayores no solo reciban cuidados, sino que también puedan vivir plenamente y conectados con su
entorno.
The research addresses social isolation in nursing homes, focusing on the psychosocial factors that cause it and social intervention techniques. It was carried out between 2024 and 2025, evaluating the role of older adults within the family. Isolation is a common phenomenon due to social stereotypes, inequality, and barriers that affect the participation and well-being of older adults, who become more vulnerable when they enter these homes. Difficulties with mobility, hearing, and socialization complicate their adaptation. Despite the efforts of staff to meet their needs, older adults often do not feel safe or understood in their new environment, which prevents greater integration. In addition, family disconnection and lack of support contribute to isolation, reflecting a limited social view of old age. Research indicates that old age should be valued as a productive stage of life, rather than being seen as an obstacle. The challenge lies in improving family and social integration to transform nursing homes into spaces where older adults not only receive care, but can also live fully and connected to their environment.
