TIEMPO LIBRE Y ESPARCIMIENTO FAMILIAR. UN ESPACIO PARA LA INTEGRACIÓN…
salud y la de los demás”3 y que enfoca hacia el equilibrio interno y externo
de la persona como ente bio‐psico‐social, procurando el auto cuidado a través
de un trabajo colectivo, se busca en esta reflexión realizar un aporte a
nivel familiar y comunitario que permita establecer la relación existente
entre la práctica recreativa y la salud mental e integración familiar como
factores que condicionan ese “aprender a convivir” por parte de los miembros
del grupo familiar con las personas mayores, miembros de su núcleo

Abstract
To come closer the topic on the use of the free time in the major people and
to assume the recreational practice as form of prevention currently and future
for physical ‐ mental healthy there is cited as an example: the
Universal Declaration of the Human rights of the United Nations Organization,
in which indicators of standard of living distinguish themselves,
one of which is a “Playtime and Recreation”. It is specify that “Every people
have to the right for resting and enjoying in his free time and the
rational limitation of the time of the job and periodic holidays”. Like also
the Right to health, “The universal access to the Health is a right that every
society must guarantee his citizens for the only fact being person,
without considerations of his socio‐economic situation. A suitable and opportune
attention in the illness is a right as important as the dealing that
the person receives, as it is to be provided with the information and the
stimulus to preventive conducts”.
In this sense, the recreational practice and the productive free time are
constituted a way for canalizing the free time in suitable form, as well as
to cheer up tensions that the environment causes on the mayor person. In
this way, we are preparing for inconvenient situations for the mental and
organic health that, permanently, is affected his world of familiar and
community social interaction.
Basing on the Integral or Educational Model of Education for the Health,
defined like “Social process of learning faced to the auto responsibility of
the individuals and the communities, in defense of its own health and that
of the others” and that focuses towards the internal and external balance of
the person like bio‐psychosocial entity, trying the self‐care across a collective
work, one thinks about how in this reflection to realize a contribution
at familiar and community level that allows to establish the existing relation
between the recreational practice and the mental health and familiar
integration like factors that determine that one “to learn to coexist” on the
part of the members of the familiar group with the biggest persons, members
of his basic nucleus.
