Initial assessment - 4 older people Final assessment - 16 older people |
Initially, a prototype was developed, evaluated and validated by a small test group. The revised version of the prototype was then evaluated by a group of older people with a questionnaire about the content, layout and level of knowledge of the modules. A Likert-type rating scale was used. The results of the questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using frequency analysis on an ordinal scale. Open questions were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. |

| A9/ Assistance Convergent Research |
The research team performed immersion at the study site and experienced the context of the care and educational practice of the BHU among older people who circulated and participated in actions specific to the Senior Program. Technology planning: a diagnostic evaluation of the participating older people was carried out, applying the multidimensional instrument of active aging - AA and the WHOQOL–BREF quality of life assessment. The storytelling training plan for each older woman was drafted, in detail, when the stories to be told or retold were defined. The story was selected by the older woman herself, and there were weekly training sessions for three months, until the day of the presentations, which lasted about 3 hours. |

After the presentation of the stories, each of the older women storytellers made a subjective assessment of their own experience, guided by the question: “Tell me a little about your experience of having prepared and told a story”. The WHOQOL – BREF was applied again in order to compare the quality of life results of the older women before and after the experience. The data obtained, of a subjective nature, were analyzed and interpreted from the process of storytelling appropriation. |
