Abstract

Objective: to know the social representations of institutionalized elderly through dialogic actions. Method: descriptive qualitative study, anchored in the Theory of Social Representations. We used group dialogic meetings to promote health and semi-structured interviews. The results were processed by the IRAMUTEQ software. Results: Among participants, most were women, with an average age of 77 years, 06 were widows, the predominant education was incomplete elementary school, the time of residence in the LSIE ranged from one to nine years. The software concentrated the answers of the elderly from the interviews in three classes, so named: 1) Chatting to meet other people, live with them and strengthen me; 2) Participating in the meeting_meeting helps to face the institutionalized life; 3) It is never too late to take care of health. Final Considerations: The statements elaborated by the participants reveal that social interaction promotes the production and exchange of knowledge, the strengthening of interpersonal relationships, the sharing of lived experiences and the establishment of mutual trust. The activities proved to be effective for the elderly, helping them to (re) signify institutionalized life.
