INTERSECÇÕES ENTRE ENVELHECIMENTO E PANDEMIA DA COVID-19 ENTRE HOMENS NO SISTEMA PRISIONAL: UMA ANÁLISE PSICOSSOCIAL DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS

Abstract

The objective was to identify the SR of aging intersected with the Covid-19 pandemic experienced by men in the aging process in situations of deprivation of liberty. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study with a non-probabilistic sample. 15 men deprived of liberty participated, with an average age of 57 and 72 years (SD = 4.73). A sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used, analyzed using the IRAMuTeQ software. As a result, a CHD was obtained, whose main corpus was segmented into six branches, which characterize the SR of men in the aging process within the prison system in the pandemic context. Therefore, the study has the possibility of encouraging future research and provoking debate about public policies aimed specifically at this public.
