Abstract(s)
A demência é uma patologia neurodegenerativa, que afeta principalmente as
pessoas idosas, com evolução progressiva e irreversível ao longo de vários anos. É
caraterizada por declínio cognitivo, num ou mais domínios, que interfere na
capacidade de a pessoa realizar de modo independente as atividades de vida diária.
No curso da doença surgem sintomas psicológicos e comportamentais que agravam
o funcionamento diário e o sofrimento do doente e família.
Várias são as problemáticas emergentes no cuidado à pessoa idosa com
demência, muitas das quais estão relacionadas com o seu conforto e bem-estar.
Neste sentido, importa compreender e levar à prática de cuidados as intervenções que
contribuem para a melhoria da prestação de cuidados de enfermagem à pessoa idosa
com demência.
O presente relatório pretende documentar o desenvolvimento de competências
de mestre e enfermeira especialista desenvolvidas no estágio do Curso de Mestrado
em Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgica na Área de Intervenção à Pessoa Idosa realizado
numa unidade residencial para pessoas idosas com demência.
Os objetivos delineados para o Estágio com Relatório foram mapear as
intervenções promotoras de conforto e bem-estar na pessoa idosa com demência
institucionalizada com a realização de uma revisão scoping, prestar cuidados de
enfermagem centrados na pessoa idosa com demência e família baseados na
evidência e promover a formação em serviço à equipa de saúde sobre cuidados de
conforto nas pessoas idosas com demência.
