Abstract
Objetivo: interpretar la percepción de bienestar psicológico que poseen las personas mayores de una comuna de la Región del Bío-Bío, Chile. Métodos: se utilizó el paradigma cualitativo con orientación fenomenológico. El muestreo fue no probabilístico por conveniencia a través de saturación teórica. Los sujetos incluidos cumplieron con los criterios de elegibilidad y firma de consentimiento informado. La recopilación de información se realizó a través de una entrevista semiestructurada que basó sus preguntas en el Modelo Multidimensional de Bienestar. Los resultados fueron codificados y analizados a través de análisis de contenido. Resultados: las personas mayores investigadas poseen un alto grado de bienestar psicológico. La principal fuente de bienestar psicológico es de tipo relacional, la familia y su entorno más cercano. La evaluación que realiza la persona mayor, en el presente, involucra las condiciones en las cuales se desenvuelve y las formas en las cuales enfrentaron situaciones de exigencia emocional durante la vida. Conclusiones: se identifica un alto nivel de bienestar psicológico en la población estudiada.
