Resumen
La presente investigación tuvo como propósito analizar el proceso de construcción del
conocimiento en salud sexual de personas adultas mayores que asisten al Programa de
Atención Integral para la Persona Adulta Mayor (PAIPAM) en la Universidad Nacional de
Costa Rica. La motivación para esta investigación surgió de la necesidad existente de
determinar cómo han construido el conocimiento en salud sexual las personas adultas
mayores dentro de la sociedad costarricense a lo largo de las décadas y los cambios sociales.
Para ello se tomó una muestra de 5 hombres y 5 mujeres participantes del programa, a quienes
se les realizó una entrevista a profundidad con el objetivo de crear un relato de vida sobre
este proceso y el impacto que ha tenido en su vida. Los resultados arrojaron que las primeras
etapas de vida de las personas participantes estuvieron cargadas de censura y
desconocimiento en salud sexual, debido a la religiosidad y el hermetismo propios de la
época. Estas características provocaron que se desarrollaran con múltiples vacíos en salud
sexual, lo cual trajo consigo fenómenos como el embarazo adolescente, ausencia o empleo
escaso de métodos anticonceptivos y un sistema de creencias tanto social como individual
donde la culpa y la vergüenza los ha mantenido alejados de una educación afectiva. No
obstante, actualmente las personas participantes perciben la salud sexual como un tema vital
dentro de un envejecimiento saludable, mientras se aparte de la visión reduccionista de que
la sexualidad consiste únicamente en el coito y se aborde desde todo el entramado de caricias,
afectividad y compañía en la relación de pareja.
