Presentation

The GRACIS group has been working in the field of ageing, dependency and family networks for many years. As a result of this work, projects, research studies and doctoral theses have been developed and more recently, the Chair of Ageing and Quality of Life has been created.

This group of health and social professionals wants to delve into very prevalent problems in our society and find strategies that help us improve people's health and quality of life.

In Spain, the evolution of the main demographic parameters is leading society towards the progressive ageing of the population. It is expected that by 2060 people over the age of 65 will represent 30% of the population and that one in eight people will be 80 or older. Regarding the projection of the National Statistics Institute (INE), in 2066 there will be more than 14 million elderly people, 34,6% of the total population that will reach 41.068.643 inhabitants. On the other hand, life expectancy at birth reaches 82,87 years, with women at 85,58 years and men at 80,08 years. Life expectancy at age 65 in Spain is 21,5% and in Europe 20% (INE 2017).

Women are the majority in old age, 32,0% more than men. This significant change in population structure puts great pressure on systems that promote healthy ageing, so answers need to be found to maintain quality of life and functional independence, reducing morbidity and dependency. In this sense, it is important to frame this demographic transition as a challenge for health professionals for educational practices that promote active and healthy ageing.

The ageing process is associated with the development of chronic diseases, the progressive increase in dependency and changes in family and social structures. Although the association between age and health status is highly variable among the elderly population, old age is the stage of life in which people’s physical deterioration becomes most evident; Multiple disabilities and biopsychosocial health-related problems make it difficult to experience positive ageing.

It is also true that there is another factor related to the longer life expectancy of women. Living longer than men makes them more likely to be widowed and live longer alone. A growing problem in our society is the loneliness of the elderly, and even worse the unwanted loneliness. In Spain, 2 million people over the age of 65 live alone and 72% are women and this figure increases in the case of women over the age of 80.

Faced with this increase in life expectancy, the purpose of health professionals is to delay the onset of these diseases and promote healthy ageing by increasing disability-free life expectancy, promoting the health of the elderly so that they can live autonomously while contributing to society.

On the other hand, health and social professionals must be innovative when it comes to taking a comprehensive approach to the elderly and the resources we have at our disposal. Today, information and communication technologies (ICT) not only affect the way society is organized, but also the way people relate, work, communicate, understand and interact with each other.

Digital health has many benefits which affect the patient, medical care and the health system. It empowers the patient, offering satisfaction and improved standard minimum care, remote access, individual well-being, health awareness, and resilience. ICT is an innovative, creative and pedagogical tool that allows for changes in the process of disease prevention and promotion of health, and this knowledge opens up new possibilities in the development of educational strategies for patients with chronic diseases or risk factors.

For this reason, and given that the healthcare system faces significant challenges in both the increase in demand for care and the scarcity of available resources, it is necessary to develop and evaluate new interventions and technological tools in order to ensure a better quality of life for the patient; and evolve towards better, more efficient and sustainable care. This evolution becomes more relevant and highlights the need to change working methods in healthcare settings, health care models, and the training of students and health professionals using the most innovative learning methods.

This research group is directly linked to the Master's Degree in Integrated Care in Chronicity and Aging (MAICE) of the Pompeu Fabra University and to the activity that takes place at the Health Simulation and Innovation Center of the Department of Health TecnoCampus .

The Longevity and Integrated Chronic Care line of the GRACIS group aims to generate knowledge and develop innovative solutions to respond to one of the great social and health challenges of our time: the increase in longevity and the aging of the population. This reality poses new challenges for health and care systems, especially in relation to chronicity, fragility and situations of vulnerability.

Research in this line focuses on understanding the determinants that influence health, functionality and well-being throughout the aging process. Areas of interest include frailty, functional autonomy, quality of life, processes of adaptation to chronicity and emerging phenomena such as unwanted loneliness, especially in older women. Studies combine epidemiological, qualitative and predictive modeling approaches to identify risk and protective factors and guide preventive and community interventions.

This line is developed in close connection with the Chair of Aging and Quality of Life of the TecnoCampus, which acts as a platform for transfer and collaboration with local administrations, health services and social entities. This framework facilitates the generation of integrated care models focused on the person and the community, contributing to promoting healthy, active and socially inclusive aging in an increasingly long-lived society.

The GRACIS group's Health Innovation line aims to promote the continuous improvement of chronic care through the study, design, development and evaluation of innovative interventions that generate significant and sustainable changes in healthcare practice. We understand health innovation as a comprehensive and transformative process aimed at optimizing the quality of care, the user experience, health outcomes and the sustainability of the system, with equity criteria.

This line focuses on the development of professional competencies, relational skills and transversal work, as well as on digital transformation, the redesign of healthcare processes and the implementation of integrated care models focused on the person, their circle and the community. The research is applied, collaborative and participatory, based on co-creation with professionals, citizens and other agents of the health and social system.

The line's work facilitates the design and evaluation of technological, organizational and training solutions adapted to real contexts, with the aim of generating real changes in healthcare practice and contributing to more humane, close and sustainable health and social services.

The GRACIS group's "Mental and Emotional Health" line addresses one of the major global challenges recognized by the 2030 Agenda (SDG 3: Health and Well-being) and by the World Health Organization as a strategic priority to ensure well-being and quality of life. The increase in disorders such as anxiety, depression or unwanted loneliness requires rigorous research and innovative solutions centered on the person.

Projects in this line focus on understanding and improving mental and emotional health across the different stages of life, integrating the gender perspective as a structural factor that interacts with social, psychological and biological determinants. Studies include issues such as academic stress, postpartum depression, suicidal ideation and loneliness in older people.

The research is participatory and applied, with the aim of generating scientific knowledge that contributes to more humane, inclusive and equitable policies and practices. This perspective allows progress towards interventions that respond to global mental health challenges with scientific rigor, social sensitivity and an inclusive approach.

The line "Physical Activity and Therapeutic Exercise in Chronicity and Diversity" aims to analyze, evaluate and develop the role of physical activity and exercise as key strategies for promoting well-being, quality of life and functionality of people with chronic health conditions and diverse groups in heterogeneous contexts.

This line adopts a transversal conception of movement, which includes recreational and therapeutic physical exercise, functional mobility and activity linked to lifestyle or the occupational field. Special emphasis is placed on the diversity of groups, considering factors such as functional diversity, socioeconomic, cultural and community context, and life trajectories, to design inclusive and person-centered interventions.

The study of movement habits, including facilitators and barriers to regular exercise practice, allows the design of adapted strategies that promote active participation, autonomy and self-management of health. Thus, the line contributes to models of comprehensive care for chronicity that are inclusive, flexible and effective.
