El uso de videos musicales y motivacionales utilizados en un centro geriátrico como estrategias para fortalecer las habilidades socioemocionales de los adultos mayores

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, the global older adult population is increasing. According to the World Health Organization (2022), the population of people aged 65 and over is expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. Therefore, it is crucial to develop specific programs that address the needs and interests of older adults. The main objective of this research is to determine the influence of music and motivational videos as strategies to strengthen socio-emotional skills in older adults in a nursing home. To address this objective, a qualitative approach with a descriptive scope was used, aimed at exploring and understanding the use of music and motivational videos, and a case study design focused on the interactions and perceptions of the participants. The study involved a sample of 25 people, including managers, caregivers, therapists, interns, and kitchen staff at the nursing home. A sociodemographic profile, a semi-structured interview, and an observation form were administered. This study's analysis shows that the use of music and motivational videos has a positive influence on the socioemotional skills of older adults at the nursing home.
