Abstract

Objective: The actual social and demographic context has challenged society to study elderly people. From occupational therapy, the need arises to know which are the roles that older people play, their satisfaction and interest in getting involved in them, given the scant local evidence on the matter. Method: Quantitative type cross-sectional design. This study is carried out in the Commune of Puente Alto, with 322 older people participating in community programs, to whom the Role Cheklist v3 © Form 1 was applied. Results: Men and women have the same hierarchy and similar frequency in the performance of roles, with exception of the roles of friend, fan and participant in organizations. The most performed roles are housewife and family member. The least performed are student, volunteer and worker. In both genders, high levels of satisfaction are seen for the roles performed and there is current interest in being a housewife, friend and fan in the case of men, as well as interest in being a housewife, family member and friend in women. Conclusion: Older people maintain an active participation in the community through the performance of significant roles, which confirms their motivation to contribute and contribute to society, contradicting the theoretical proposals associated with that old age is a passive and inactive stage.
