Data analysis identifi ed two central thematic categories: (1) health education as a strategy for promoting active and participatory aging; and (2) gender inequalities and invisibilities that particularly impact older women in care settings. The results show that educational practices grounded in dialogue, intergenerationality, and the valuing of popular knowledge contribute to the autonomy and protagonism of older adults. At the same time, they point to the urgent need for public policies sensitive to gender issues and diversity in old age. It concludes that educational processes are powerful tools for building more equitable, humanized, and inclusive healthcare for the older population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Portuguese): O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os processos educativos voltados à atenção à pessoa idosa, com ênfase nas intersecções entre envelhecimento, gênero e cuidado, a partir de uma revisão narrativa da literatura. A pesquisa contemplou oito estudos publicados, selecionados com base em sua relevância teórica e empírica. A análise dos dados permitiu identifi car duas categorias temáticas centrais: (1) a educação em saúde como estratégia de promoção do envelhecimento ativo e participativo; e (2) as desigualdades de gênero e as invisibilidades que impactam especialmente as mulheres idosas nos espaços de cuidado. Os resultados evidenciam que práticas educativas fundamentadas no diálogo, na intergeracionalidade e na valorização dos saberes populares contribuem para a autonomia e o protagonismo da pessoa idosa. Ao mesmo tempo, apontam para a necessidade urgente de políticas públicas sensíveis às questões de gênero e à diversidade na velhice. Conclui-se que os processos educativos são ferramentas potentes para a construção de uma atenção à saúde mais equitativa, humanizada e inclusiva para a população idosa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
