Abstract
Introducción: En el contexto del envejecimiento como proceso fisiológico natural, se reconoce la necesidad de enfocar la atención en las personas mayores para potenciar su salud mental y evitar síntomas depresivos. En este marco, destaca la teoría de la autotrascendencia, centrada en el desarrollo individual y multidimensional que promueve la autoaceptación, el sentido de vida y la conexión con otros, el entorno y lo espiritual. Objetivo: Determinar la autotrascendencia y analizar su asociación con características biológicas, socioculturales y psicológicas de las personas mayores de 60 años que integran los grupos vinculados con el Centro Integral del Adulto Mayor de la ciudad de Los Ángeles. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal, descriptivo y correlacional. Se utilizó un instrumento conformado por un cuestionario semiestructurado, de las escalas de autotrascendencia, sentido de coherencia y de autoeficacia general. La aplicación fue en un periodo de 14 semanas. Resultados: El 89.0% de las personas mayores percibe un nivel alto de autotrascendencia y las características que tuvieron significancia estadística fueron la autoeficacia, creencias y el sentido de coherencia. Conclusiones: La autotrascendencia en personas mayores está influenciada principalmente por factores psicológicos, mientras que las características biológicas y socioculturales tienen un impacto menos significativo.
Introduction: In the context of aging as a natural physiological process, there is a recognized need to focus attention on older adults to enhance their mental health and prevent depressive symptoms. Within this framework, the theory of self-transcendence stands out, emphasizing individual and multidimensional development that promotes self-acceptance, a sense of purpose, and connection with others, the environment, and spirituality. Objective: To determine self-transcendence and analyze its association with the biological, sociocultural, and psychological characteristics of adults over 60 years old who are part of the groups linked to the Comprehensive Senior Center in the city of Los Ángeles. Methodology: A quantitative, non experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study. A semi structured questionnaire was used, incorporating scales of self transcendence, sense of coherence, and general self-efficacy. The data collection took place over a period of 14 weeks. Results: 89.0% of older adults perceive a high level of self-transcendence, with statistically significant characteristics including self-efficacy, beliefs, and sense of coherence. Conclusions: Self-transcendence in older adults is primarily influenced by psychological factors, while biological and sociocultural characteristics have a less significant impact.
