Resumen
En Barranquilla, la pandemia por COVID-19 restringió libertad en la circulación de los adultos mayores para evitar contagios, limitando su participación social y movilidad. Esta situación generó un cambio significativo en la salud mental del adulto mayor, excluyéndolo de la sociedad y generando aislamiento. El aislamiento es la actitud o comportamiento direccionado a limitar las interacciones sociales, las conversaciones y cercanías interpersonales, disminuyendo las relaciones sociales y las conversaciones intergeneracionales en la persona mayor. (OPS y OMS, 2020). Objetivos: Describir las tres dimensiones, Cognición, Pensamiento y Comportamiento hacia el aislamiento en un grupo de personas mayores durante la pandemia. Muestra: Conformada por dieciocho mujeres mayores, con un rango de edad de sesenta y cinco a setenta y ocho años. Metodología: Investigación de corte cuantitativa, descriptiva se utilizó una escala tipo Likert con dieciséis ítems y cinco opciones de respuesta. Se analizaron todas sus respuestas teniendo como resultado: Dimensión de pensamiento: Denota resiliencia, recursos de afrontamiento fortalecidos, buena red de apoyo socio familiar y flexibilidad de pensamiento que amplía la capacidad de adaptación. Dimensión de Sentimiento: Poseen capacidad para gestionar adecuadamente sus sentimientos y no solo para entender los propios, sino para ser empático con las necesidades emocionales de los demás, identificando y reconociendo al otro como similar. Dimensión del Comportamiento: Se ve reflejado bienestar en los participantes, los cuales dejan ver a través de respuestas aportadas, conductas proactivas que posiblemente han favorecido adaptación a los cambios experimentados por covid-19. En estas la mayoría de los participantes responden estar totalmente de acuerdo o de acuerdo en general con la realización de actividades físicas y cognitivas en su funcionamiento diario o cotidianidad. Por lo que se resalta que es aquí donde la actividad física juega un papel importante en la prevención y complemento de tratamiento clínico en la intervención de diversas patologías.
