Abstract
Abstract Objective The article aims to present reflections provoked through content analysis of interviews with families on the relationship between elderly people and young adults. Specifically, to make considerations on the characteristics and perceptions of both generations regarding the interactions between them. Method This is a qualitative, cross-sectional, and exploratory research. Twelve elderly people between 60 and 74 years old and 12 young adults between 19 and 40 years old participated, regardless of gender, social class, education, and profession. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview script and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data analysis was directed through thematic Content Analysis. Results The results showed that this is an intergenerational relationship permeated by nuances characteristic of the research subjects' age groups. Conclusion In this sense, there is a generation gap caused by the lack of quality time invested in these relationships.
