ABSTRACT
Abstract This study sought to evaluate the cultural adequacy of materials and procedures of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP 10-14-UK) and to identify requirements for its cultural adaptation to Brazilian families. The descriptive study had 33 informants, including external observers, managers, multipliers, facilitators, adolescents, and parents. The data were collected at a pilot application in the Federal District. Direct observation was applied to four intervention groups, with seven meetings of 150 min for families, parents/guardians and adolescents, and mixed nominal groups at the end of the interventions. The results, analyzed through content analysis and descriptive statistics, provided evidence that SFP was perceived as sufficiently appealing, culturally relevant, and partially clear. Recommendations for cultural adaptation of linguistic aspects of the materials and procedures were made, considering the cultural and educational differences of the participant families. Focus on implementation quality, including infrastructure, families' mobilization and continuous planning, was recommended. Replication studies in other Brazilian regions and analyses of contextual and political dimensions are suggested.

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o processo de implementação e avaliação do Viva Mais! - o programa de preparação para aposentadoria (PPA) de uma Universidade pública brasileira. Para tal, utilizou-se um modelo lógico baseado em insumos, produtos, resultados, pressupostos e fatores externos. Treze participantes inscritos foram divididos em dois grupos que receberam 24 horas de intervenção informativa e vivencial durante oito semanas. Os temas basearam-se nos preditores do envelhecimento bem-sucedido. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo para interpretar as respostas dos participantes nas entrevistas de avaliação de resultados. Os dados demonstraram que o principal objetivo do programa - promover o bem-estar, a saúde e a qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores da Universidade - foi alcançado.
