Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Retirement represents a significant life transition, potentially leading to vulnerability for individuals and families.
  • The REATIVA program is a face-to-face health intervention designed to bolster self-efficacy and ease the retirement transition.
  • This study evaluates the effectiveness of the REATIVA program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficiency of the REATIVA program in promoting self-efficacy and adaptation to retirement.
  • To evaluate the program's impact on individual and family health during the retirement transition.
  • To identify potential improvements for future intervention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental study involving 56 new retirees and their families within the Portuguese National Health Service.
  • Program efficiency was measured using the General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scale and the Retirement Adaptation Perception (EPFAR) scale.
  • Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS 27, including MANOVA with Greenhouse-Geisser correction.

Main Results:

  • Participants in the REATIVA program showed an average positive change in both General Self-Efficacy (GSE) and Retirement Adaptation Perception (EPFAR).
  • The MANOVA test indicated a statistically significant effect of the program over time on the EPFAR scale (F = 17.405, p = 0.001).
  • The program demonstrated efficiency in fostering individual and family health, supporting an active and healthy aging process.

Conclusions:

  • The REATIVA program is an efficient intervention for promoting health and well-being during the retirement transition.
  • The findings support the program's role in facilitating a positive adaptation to retirement for individuals and families.
  • Future enhancements could include greater family involvement and a blended intervention approach to further improve efficacy.
