Abstract
La participación social está estrechamente ligada al bienestar
y un envejecimiento saludable generando beneficios
físicos y psicológicos. Sin embargo, las personas mayores
tienen tendencia a bajar los niveles de participación e interacción
social tras la jubilación, aunque otros muchos
continúan militando y participando en entidades y movimientos
sociales.
La pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 ha tenido un
fuerte impacto a nivel social y sanitario siendo los principales
perjudicados las personas mayores, no solo por las
elevadas tasas de mortalidad sino porque las medidas de
distanciamiento social impuestas para su protección, han
dado lugar a un agravamiento del aislamiento social y el
sentimiento de soledad de nuestros mayores. Es urgente
generar espacios seguros para aumentar los niveles de
participación social.
Social participation is closely linked to well-being and healthy aging, generating physical and psychological benefits. However, older people tend to lower levels of participation and social interaction after retirement although many others continue to militate and participate in non-profit organisations and social movements. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has had a strong impact at the social and health level, with the elderly being the main victims, not only due to the high mortality rates but because the social distancing measures imposed for their protection have led to a worsening of social isolation and the feeling of loneliness of our elders. It is urgent to create safe spaces to increase levels of social participation.
