| dc.description.abstract | The aging of the population and the constant population movement, confronts us with a crucial social challenge: aging in a multicultural context. The study focused on the Alt Empordà region, which is both old and diverse, with the coexistence of multiple ages and cultures. The aim of the study was to understand what gives meaning to the lives of the elderly in this intercultural region, as well as to explore the visions of the elderly themselves in order to integrate them into the social and healthcare transformation. The study's results revealed three viewpoints on aging: one focused on survival, another on enjoyment, and a third focused on community contribution and leaving a legacy. With regard to the different psychosocial factors that shape significant aging for the elderly in the Alt Empordà, it was identified that all cultures value health, independence and wish to age in their homes. Regardless of the cultural background, they view health services as facilitating aging and place high value on having quality and universal health care. However, they manifest that social services are challenging to meet their demands and needs. The desire to live in a world where there is more face to face attention and not only virtual and digital access was also expressed by them. It was identified that for certain group, religion is considered a key element to measure the perception of inclusion or exclusion during this life stage. |
