SUMMARY

  The central topic of our study is to analyze the profile psicosocial of those bigger than a sample of Valladolid for this way to see that type of help so much from the psychological point of view as social are necessary so that insofar as possible this community so numerous and representative of our society can reach the biggest possible well-being. The interviewed grown-ups have provided a very interesting information on their state of health that contrarily to what could seem in principle more than half of those interviewed he/she affirms to be very well or quite well of health. Although it is significantly bigger the number of institutionalized adults that they have problems of health. Also more than half of the adults they affirm not to need help for the realization of the activities of the daily life, needing more help institutionalized people. The family relationships in most of the interviewed adults are good not being significant differences between the family relationships and the institucionalization. Almost half of the biggest interviewees they have not studied studies, and if they have made it it is primary studies only a very small percentage had studied superior studies. But the most significant thing and preocupant are mainly the high percentage of opposing illiteracy in our sample in bigger than 80 years what indicates that the cultural level goes increasing in the youngest. The main fear that the adults show is the illness followed by the solitude and the idea of being a load for the other ones and it is also important to know that they have a considerable percentage that he/she doesn't fear anything. We also observe in our sample like when arriving to mature ages the scale of values it is usually changed finding a sense different to the existence. More than half of the interviewed adults they consider that they live for will of God being this higher percentage in institutionalized people. Their main problem is also the solitude and not to be able to make family life, followed by the health. The adult's great demand is the family welcome; the desire of more than half of the adults it would be to be able to live with its family in the last years of its life. The rest of the problems, as the economic one, the age, they pass to a second plane. All these results obtained in our work are useful to know the necessities, concerns and real and high-priority problems of the adults in our County.
