Abstract(s)
Ao processo de envelhecimento associam-se alterações fisiológicas que contribuem para o
aumento do risco de queda. No estágio final em unidade de cuidados na comunidade os
objetivos do projeto de intervenção foram a avaliação do risco e o desenvolvimento do plano
de intervenção de enfermagem de reabilitação para prevenção de quedas em idosos no
domicílio.
Estudo de caso descritivo, participaram quatro utentes idosos, portadores de doenças
neurológicas, com alteração do equilíbrio e com potencial de recuperação.
Os resultados foram a diminuição de fatores de risco intrínsecos relacionados com o
equilíbrio, extrínsecos relacionados com o domicílio e a diminuição da dependência nas
atividades de transferência e mobilidade.
Conclui-se que os cuidados de enfermagem de reabilitação produzem ganhos na
diminuição do risco de queda, diminuição da dependência e aumentam a segurança do idoso e
dos seus cuidadores. A enfermagem de reabilitação no domicílio nas fases subagudas da doença
neurológica pode potencializar estes resultados.
In the aging process are associated physiologic changes that contribute to increased risk of fall. The goals of the intervention project in the final training in the community care unit were the risk assessment and the development of the plan of rehabilitation nursing intervention for the falls prevention in the elderly at home. Descriptive case study included four elderly patients with neurological diseases with change of balance and with recovery potential. The results were the decrease of intrinsic risk factors related to balance, decrease of extrinsic risk factors related with home and the reduction of dependence on transfer and mobility activities. It is concluded that the rehabilitation nursing care produce gains in reducing the risk fall, decreased dependency and increase the safety of the patients and informal caregivers. The rehabilitation nursing at home in subacute phases of neurological disease can enhance these results.
