Sociodemographic and occupational factors associated with well-being resources in retirement planning

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic and occupational factors associated with the adoption of well-being resources in retirement planning. Method: A cross-sectional, exploratory, and quantitative research carried out between May and November 2018, with secondary data collected in the answers to the Retirement Resources Inventory (Inventario de Recursos para a Aposentadoria, IRA), within the ‘Aposentar-se com Saude’ (‘Retiring with Health’) web software. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 20.0, was used for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Results: The adoption of well-being resources in retirement planning was positively associated with the physical, social, emotional, cognitive, motivational, and globaf aspects. The gender, degree, religion, family income, and being employed variables represented lower adoption of well-being resources. Conclusion: The results support the nurse’s work process, by contributing to targeting actions to promote workers’ health and the need for planning to adapt to retirement.
