Abstract(s)
A demência caracteriza-se por um declínio progressivo das capacidades intelectuais e funcionamento da pessoa, incapacitando-a de se relacionar eficazmente com os outros e de ser autónoma nas suas atividades de vida diária. É considerada uma das principais causas de incapacidade e dependência do idoso a nível mundial, tendo grande impacto na qualidade de vida da pessoa, família e cuidador. Mais de 55 milhões de pessoas sofrem de demência, estimando-se um aumento para 132 milhões em 2050. É, portanto, uma prioridade de saúde pública e social pelo crescente número de casos de demência e impacto avassalador a nível físico, psicológico, social e económico.
Face à problemática identificada, foi elaborado previamente um projeto de estágio, sendo definidos objetivos e planeadas atividades a desenvolver, no âmbito da reabilitação da pessoa com demência. O presente relatório apresenta a descrição e análise das atividades realizadas ao longo dos estágios para o desenvolvimento de competências, com vista à obtenção do título de enfermeiro especialista em enfermagem de reabilitação definido pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros, bem como a obtenção do grau de Mestre definidos pelos descritores de Dublin do 2º ciclo, permitindo minimizar o efeito da problemática.
Assim, as intervenções do Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Reabilitação promotoras da reabilitação da pessoa com demência, nomeadamente exercício físico, atividade social, prevenção de quedas, reabilitação cognitiva, motivação e envolvimento do cuidador, são necessárias e fundamentais para prevenir e retardar a progressão da demência. Para tal, devem ser identificadas as consequências funcionais negativas da pessoa com demência e os seus fatores de risco, para ser possível a maximização da sua funcionalidade, bem-estar e qualidade de vida, conforme refere a Teoria das Consequências Funcionais de Carol Miller. Esta teoria sustentou toda a intervenção na prática clínica e no processo de tomada de decisão.
Dementia is characterized by a progressive decline in a person's intellectual abilities and functioning, rendering them unable to interact effectively with others and to be independent in their daily activities. It is considered one of the leading causes of disability and dependence among older adults worldwide, having a major impact on the quality of life of the person, their family, and their caregiver. More than 55 million people suffer from dementia, with an estimated increase to 132 million by 2050. It is therefore a public and social health priority due to the growing number of cases of dementia and its devastating physical, psychological, social, and economic impact. In view of the problem identified, an internship project was drawn up in advance, setting out objectives and planning activities to be carried out in the field of rehabilitation for people with dementia. This report presents a description and analysis of the activities carried out during the internships for the development of skills, with a view to obtaining the title of specialist nurse in rehabilitation nursing defined by the Order of Nurses, as well as obtaining a Master's degree defined by the Dublin descriptors of the 2nd cycle, thereby minimizing the effect of the problem. Thus, the interventions of the Specialist Nurse in Rehabilitation Nursing that promote the rehabilitation of people with dementia, namely physical exercise, social activity, fall prevention, cognitive rehabilitation, motivation, and caregiver involvement, are necessary and fundamental to prevent and delay the progression of dementia. To this end, the negative functional consequences of the person with dementia and their risk factors must be identified in order to maximize their functionality, well-being, and quality of life, as stated in Carol Miller's Functional Consequences Theory. This theory underpinned the entire intervention in clinical practice and the decision-making process.
