Purpose in life in adulthood and older adulthood: integrative review.

Abstract:

:Purpose in life (PiL) is defined as the sense that life has meaning and intentionality, and plays a guiding role in life goals and decision making regarding the use of personal resources. OBJECTIVES:to recognize and analyze data on PiL and conditions associated with good aging or with positive adaptation in aging. METHOD:an integrative review of articles in peer-reviewed journals published in the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo and Scielo/BVS/Lilacs databases was performed using the terms "purpose in life" and "aging" in the title, without temporal restriction. RESULTS:twenty-seven articles were selected, 22 of which were conducted under large prospective longitudinal studies, 3 were cross-sectional studies and 2 were experimental studies. The studies revealed robust associations between high PiL scores and lower risk of death, Alzheimer's disease, coronary and cerebrovascular diseases, disability, and sleep disorders; high PiL and positive outcomes in health, cognition, emotional regulation, subjective well-being, and sense of adjustment; PiL as a moderator or resilience resource between risks and adversities and good adaptation. These data are useful for research and intervention involving long-lived and vulnerable older persons. :Propósito de vida (PV) é definido como o senso de que a vida tem sentido e intencionalidade, o qual desempenha papel orientador em relação às metas de vida e à tomada de decisões relativas ao uso dos recursos pessoais. Objetivos: reconhecer e analisar dados sobre PV e condições identificadas com bom envelhecimento ou com adaptação positiva no envelhecimento. Método: foi realizada revisão integrativa de publicações de periódicos com avaliação por pares, indexadas nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo e Scielo/BVS/Lilacs, com os termos “purpose in life” and “aging” no título, sem restrição de datas. Resultados: foram selecionados 27 artigos, 22 dos quais conduzidos no âmbito de grandes estudos longitudinais prospectivos, 3 de corte transversal e 2 experimentais, que revelaram associações robustas entre alta pontuação em PV e redução do risco para mortalidade, Doença de Alzheimer, doenças coronarianas e cerebrovasculares, incapacidades e distúrbios de sono; alto PV e desfechos positivos em saúde, cognição, regulação emocional, bem-estar subjetivo e senso de ajustamento; PV como variável moderadora, ou recurso de resiliência, entre riscos e adversidades e boa adaptação. São dados úteis à investigação e à intervenção envolvendo idosos longevos e vulneráveis.
