Abstract(s)
O envelhecimento humano é um processo fisiológico e psicológico progressivo e tem sido possível o aumento da esperança média de vida com a ajuda do progresso das ciências da saúde. No entanto, este aumento pode ser acompanhado por problemas passíveis de serem prevenidos, como é o caso do desenvolvimento de úlceras de pressão que contribuem para hospitalizações prolongadas, sofrimento e mortalidade, para além de que são resultados negativos de cuidados de enfermagem. Assim, torna-se emergente a intervenção de enfermagem nesta problemática.
Neste sentido, implementou-se um projeto num serviço de urgência com o objetivo de desenvolver competências de enfermeira especialista e de mestre na prestação de cuidados à pessoa idosa e família para a prevenção de úlcera de pressão.
Usou-se uma metodologia de projeto tendo como quadro de referência o
Cuidado Centrado na Pessoa. Desta forma, através da observação participante procedeu-se à identificação das necessidades formativas; realização de formação; capacitação dos enfermeiros para a avaliação do risco de desenvolvimento de úlcera de pressão e intervenção de enfermagem na prevenção de desenvolvimento de úlcera de pressão à pessoa idosa.
A execução deste projeto contribuiu para a sensibilização e reflexão sobre a problemática pela equipa de enfermagem; capacitação e implementação da avaliação do risco de desenvolvimento de úlcera de pressão; uniformização de intervenções de enfermagem na prevenção de desenvolvimento de úlcera de pressão na pessoa idosa. Globalmente, este projeto contribuiu para a mudança de paradigma e para a melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados de enfermagem prestados à pessoa idosa nesta temática.
