Apoyo familiar, apoyo social y bienestar emocional en adultos mayores de 65 a 75 años que participan en programas de alfabetización de la Escuela Eloy Alfaro en el cantón Samborondón durante el año 2024.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to determine the perception of quality of life among older adults participating in literacy programs at the Eloy Alfaro School in the Samborondón canton during the year 2024, based on the variables of social support, family support, and emotional well-being, in order to propose strategies that contribute to improving their quality of life. This was a qualitative, descriptive study using the hermeneutic method, in which interviews were conducted with older adults. The main results indicate that sudden mood swings in older adults are characteristic of the aging stage. However, when older adults are alone and lack support networks that allow them to express their feelings, they may experience stress and emotional imbalance.
