Resumo(s)
A intervenção psicomotora tem conhecido um interesse crescente ao nível da investigação para práticas baseadas na evidência. O Qigong é uma arte corporal que integrando atividades posturais e respiratórias exigindo a imersão do sujeito no ato, pode ser aplicada no âmbito da intervenção psicomotora. O nosso objetivo é analisar os efeitos de um programa de Qigong no perfil psicomotor e qualidade de vida (QdV) de pessoas idosas com demência. O Exame Gerontopsicomotor e o Quality of Life Instrument for People with Dementia foram aplicados a 10 participantes, entre os 69 e 94 anos (83.10±9.49), 6 do género feminino e 4 do género masculino, a viver num lar residencial, distribuídos por dois grupos: experimental (n=5) e grupo controlo (N=5). Os efeitos do programa de 6 semanas, com 3 sessões semanais de 30 min, foram analisados pelo Wilcoxon test (p<.05), cujos resultados apontam a inexistência de diferenças entre as avaliações pré-pós, no perfil psicomotor e QdV, apesar de uma tendência de melhoria, visível pelo aumento da mediana, no conhecimento das partes do corpo e memória percetiva com repercussões no índice global, e da memória no âmbito da QdV. O Qigong parece ter potencial de aplicação no âmbito da intervenção psicomotora com pessoas idosas.
Psychomotor intervention has seen a growing interest in research for evidence-based practices. Qigong is a body art that by integrating postural and respiratory activities requiring the subject's immersion in the act, can be applied within the scope of psychomotor intervention. Our objective is to analyze the effects of a Qigong program on the psychomotor profile and quality of life (QoL) of elderly people with dementia. The Portuguese versions of Éxamen Geronto-Psychomoteur and the Quality of Life Scale for Dementia were applied to 10 participants, aged between 69 and 94 years (83.10±9.49), 6 females and 4 males, living in a nursing home, spread over two groups: experimental (n=5) and control group (N=5). The effects of the 6-week program, with 3 weekly sessions of 30 min, were analyzed by the Wilcoxon test (p<.05), whose results indicate the inexistence of differences between the pre-post evaluations, in the psychomotor profile and QoL, despite an improvement trend, visible by the increase in the median, in the knowledge of body parts and perceptual memory with repercussions on the global index, and memory in the scope of QoL. Qigong seems to have potential application in the context of psychomotor intervention with elderly people.
