Resumen
La problemática con el adulto mayor por abandono familiar tanto como de la sociedad en general se viene evidenciando cada día más, nuestros adultos mayores están siendo abandonados sin tener recursos o apoyo de entidades que garanticen sus derechos y protección siendo ellos de gran importancia para las futuras generaciones. Hoy en día a los hijos y familiares se les facilita abandonar a sus padres o abuelos siendo considerados como una carga a la cual se debe dedicar mucho tiempo, son discriminados y en ciertas ocasiones víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar. Por ello la finalidad de este trabajo de investigación, tiene como objetivo: Describir las problemáticas socio - familiares que afectan al adulto mayor por causa del abandono en el hogar geriátrico nueva vida del municipio de Arauquita- Arauca. El método de investigación utilizado fue el método etnográfico donde se pudo estudiar al adulto mayor durante el tiempo de investigación establecido. El enfoque de investigación corresponde al cualitativo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 10 adultos mayores en edades de 60 a 80 años. Para el análisis de los resultados de la investigación se aplicaron dos técnicas de recolección las cuales fueron la observación participante y la entrevista, donde se logra evidenciar cuales son los factores consecuentes que conllevan el abandono socio familiar, las causas que implican al abandono del adulto mayor familiar y las conductas que presentan los adultos mayores dentro del hogar. En el proceso de la investigación se realizaron 10 entrevistas, las cuales fueron posteriormente interpretadas para una mejor comprensión de las mismas, entre los resultados tenemos que el adulto mayor es consciente por la etapa de vida por la que atraviesa, y que, a pesar de los malos tratos recibidos por parte de sus familiares, estos no sienten ningún tipo de rencor hacia ellos, si no de lo contrario están agradecidos por el haber encontrado un lugar donde pasar sus últimos años de vida. Ya que sienten que los familiares en la mayoría de los casos los abandonan por falta de dinero y por no cumplir con la responsabilidad. Como conclusión tenemos que a pesar de las muchas percepciones que se generan en torno a la condición de vejez nos sumergimos en tratar de conocer cómo se autoevalúan los ancianos en esta etapa por la cual están pasando y concretamente viviendo en un hogar del adulto mayor. La mayoría expresó sentirse bien en este lugar y con ganas de seguir viviendo y agradeciendo a Dios por tenerlos en el lugar que están, tomando en cuenta sus limitaciones físicas. El olvido, la soledad, la angustia, la resignación y el drama de saber que están en su última etapa del ciclo de vida donde el dolor y los ánimos son insuficientes, sin duda es un asunto difícil. Y lo es aún más cuando a esta población les han cortado las relaciones familiares y con la sociedad, quedando de alguna manera aislados por su decadencia.
The problem with the elderly due to family abandonment as well as society in general is becoming more evident every day, our older adults are being abandoned without having resources or support from entities that guarantee their rights and protection, as they are of great importance for future generations. Nowadays, children and relatives find it easy to abandon their parents or grandparents, being considered a burden to which they must dedicate a lot of time, they are discriminated against and in certain occasions victims of domestic violence. Therefore, the purpose of this research work is to describe the socio-family problems that affect the elderly due to abandonment in the new life geriatric home in the municipality of Arauquita, Arauca. The research method used was the ethnographic method where it was possible to study the elderly during the established research time. The research approach corresponds to the qualitative one. The sample consisted of 10 older adults between 60 and 80 years of age. For the analysis of the results of the research, two collection techniques were applied, which were the participant observation and the interview, where it is possible to show which are the consequent factors that lead to the socio-family abandonment, the causes that imply the abandonment of the elderly family and the behaviors that the elderly present within the home. In the process of the investigation, 10 interviews were conducted, which were later interpreted for a better understanding of the same, among the results we have that the elderly are aware of the stage of life they are going through, and that, despite the mistreatment received by their relatives, they do not feel any resentment towards them, on the contrary, they are grateful for having found a place to spend their last years of life. On the contrary, they are grateful for having found a place to spend their last years of life, since they feel that their relatives in most cases abandon them for lack of money and for not fulfilling their responsibilities. As a conclusion we have that in spite of the many perceptions that are generated around the condition of old age, we immersed ourselves in trying to know how the elderly self-evaluate themselves in this stage through which they are passing and concretely living in a home for the elderly. Most of them expressed feeling good in this . place and wanting to continue living and thanking God for having them in the place they are, taking into account their physical limitations. Forgetfulness, loneliness, anguish, resignation and the drama of knowing that they are in their last stage of the life cycle where pain and encouragement are insufficient, is undoubtedly a difficult matter. And it is even more so when this population has been cut off from family relationships and society, leaving them somehow isolated by their decadence
