Abstract

The present research topic is about "Perceptions of older adults about family relationships and their influence on well-being: Qualitative study in the Chanduy Parish in 2025" which aims to analyze the possible influence of family relationships on the perception of physical, emotional and social well-being of older adults in the Chanduy parish in Santa Elena, in order to generate strategies that promote active and healthy aging through family support. The methodological approach used in this research is a qualitative one, as applying this methodology allows us to understand the realities and violations of each older adult through semi-structured surveys. This methodology allows us to capture participants' perceptions and emotions about their quality of life. The method used is phenomenological, as this method focuses on exploring and understanding lived experience from the perspective of the subjects themselves, seeking to obtain information about reality as it is experienced and reported by the older adults of the Chanduy parish. The main aspects analyzed in this research study show that family ties are a significant and essential pillar of the aging process and of older adults' perceptions of their physical, emotional, and social well-being.
